FACES strives to build a community for future leaders in U.S.-China affairs. We believe that a strong alumni network is critical for our goal of promoting mutual understanding between the United States and China. More than 850 students, scholars, and professionals have participated in our annual conferences since 2001. Through dialogue, our alumni have built long-lasting personal relationships in the broader FACES community.
