April 30—Yale University announced today the creation of the Yale Leadership Center in Beijing, which will host leadership programming offered by schools and centers across the university. The Yale Leadership Center will be operated by the Yale School of Management (SOM), which will work to expand the growing array of conferences and workshops for Chinese leaders that Yale has offered in both China and New Haven. Yale will inaugurate the center with a major conference, convened by Yale SOM on October 26-27, 2014, that will underscore the breadth of the University's engagement with China.
Centrally located in Beijing's Chaoyang District, the facility will be a hub for leadership development activities, with advanced technological capabilities to connect Beijing with New Haven and other locations around the world, enabling meaningful, ongoing dialog. It will facilitate research, act as a platform for discussions and conferences, and provide a home base for professional and executive education efforts. It will also have offices for faculty from throughout Yale to use when they are in Beijing, as well as flexible workspace for SOM's MBA, MAM, and PhD students.
Yale SOM Dean Edward A. Snyder said, "This center is meaningful given the importance of China and the United States to the global economy, but also given their central roles in all major issues facing business and society. Moreover, China and the U.S. each have extensive relationships throughout the world. With a center in Beijing's vibrant Chaoyang District, we look forward to broad-based discussions with businesspeople, entrepreneurs, and public leaders on diverse issues, including improving health outcomes, environmental challenges, the increasing importance of creative arts, and managing financial assets. We are especially grateful to Yale's generous donors, particularly Neil Shen, who have worked to realize the synergy between Yale's ability to convene ongoing, important dialogs and the strategic importance of Beijing."
The center is made possible by generous gifts from two Yale alumni and one Yale friend who are committed to deepening the mutually beneficial relationship between the university and their home country. It will be Yale's only center in China, hosting programming from the entire university community. Further, it will become a vital intellectual hub for connecting leaders and leading institutions in all sectors, and will serve as an anchor for the growing and dynamic Yale alumni community in China. Neil Shen, founding managing partner of Sequoia Capital China; Bob Xiaoping Xu, founding partner of ZhenFund.com; and Brad Huang, founder of Lotus Capital Management, have together committed $16 million. Shen will chair the center's advisory board, while Xu will serve as vice chair.
