Indiana University Chinese Flagship – Hamilton Lugar School of Global and International Studies

Join the Zoom Exhibit (Links to an external site.) starting at 2 PM

For the Chinese Flagship exhibit, I will start off with giving a brief presentation about the IU Chinese Flagship program using Powerpoint. After this presentation, I plan on opening up the floor for a Q&A session. Depending on the amount of people who attend, this could last anywhere from 15-30 minutes, or perhaps, even longer.

After the Q&A session, I plan on doing a presentation about Chinese culture. This presentation will include information about common things people associate with Chinese culture, as well as a fairly recent cultural phenomenon in China: Chinese rap.
