UPDATED: As of March 2, 2026, Penn travelers are strongly advised to defer travel to and transit through the Middle East region until further notice. This is based on current advice from the U.S. Department of State and International SOS, Penn’s private travel assistance provider, as well as the increased risk related to military operations, airspace closures, and general travel disruption. Penn-affiliated undergraduate travel to the Middle East is currently prohibited until March 31, 2026, at which time this stance will be reassessed. Travelers currently in the region are advised to shelter in place as needed and remain in contact with Penn officials. All other travelers are advised to reconsider traveling to the region. If you have upcoming Penn-affiliated travel planned to the region, please contact travelsafety@pobox.upenn.edu for guidance. As a reminder, faculty, staff, and students are required to register all Penn-affiliated international travel in MyTrips. Events can change quickly so please use the link below for continuing updates.
The Penn Project on the Future of U.S.-China Relations is delighted to announce the selection of its second class of undergraduate student fellows, made up of ten outstanding students at the University of Pennsylvania.
Student Fellows are an integral part of the Project community, benefiting from informal interactions with leading scholars and other experts on U.S.-China relations, as well as more formal research opportunities and professional mentoring. Alongside the Project’s primary mission of developing recommendations for U.S. policies toward China from established next generation China scholars and analysts, who are appointed as Project Fellows, our undergraduate student fellows program further reinforces the Project’s overall goal of bridging academic insight and policy relevance in deepening U.S. capacity to understand and evaluate critical issues in the U.S.-China relationship.
