New Asia College and Yale University have been jointly organising this exchange programme since 1993. Major objective of the programme is to enhance students’ understanding of social, cultural and scientific issues in the two regions. The exchange includes academic seminars, symposium, visits to local organisations/groups and other activities related to the particular theme for exchange. New Asia students need to conduct theme-related research and report their findings at the symposium held at Yale University. Every year, eight NAC students pay a two-week visit to U.S. during the Lunar New Year period (January/February) whilst Yale students come to New Asia College in March. The themes for exchange since 1993 are as follows:
