Photos and Videos from the CET 30th Anniversary Events!
CET is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2012. The first CET group studied in Beijing in the summer of 1982 and over a quarter-century later, we headed south to Shanghai, launching a program there in 2008. Last month, CET alumni, staff, faculty, roommates and study abroad professionals came together at the M on the Bund bar/restaurant to celebrate 30 wonderful years, the vibrant and growing field of study abroad, and one of the world’s most dynamic cities: Shanghai. Executive Director, Mark Lenhart shared with guests how excited he was to be thirty years old, and introduce CET alumnus, Jamie Fleishman. Jamie studied abroad with CET in Beijing during the Spring 2010 and recently won first place in the CET alumni video/blog contest.

CET 30th Anniversary Podcast: A Conversation with Paul Mooney
This is the fourth episode in CET’s “A Bridge to China” series commemorating the 30th anniversary of CET Academic Programs in China. In this series of half-hour recordings, we reflect on CET’s role in the education of a generation of students who would go on to observe, document and drive China’s astonishing record of modernization from the 1980s to the present date. The series features conversations with China journalists, scholars and experts looking back on the last three decades of reform and opening up, and discussing the future importance of overseas study in China.In the studio with David Moser this week is Paul Mooney, an American freelance journalist who has reported on China, Taiwan and Hong Kong since 1985. Paul has at various times worked for or been published in Newsweek, the Far Eastern Economic Review, Asiaweek, the International Herald Tribune, the South China Morning Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Asian Wall Street Journal, and many more.
