A few days ago, professor Ge Zhaoguang was informed by the Council for International Teaching and Research at Princeton University that he has been elected as the 2009-2010 Princeton Global Scholar. The committee invited professor Ge to give graduate courses in the department of East Asian Studies, six weeks a year, for a term of three to five years. It also expressed hope to further promote the cooperation between Fudan University and Princeton University.

A brief introduction of the Princeton Global Scholars Program

　　The Global Scholars Program enables the University to recruit stellar scholars from outside the United States into recurring, multi-year teaching appointments at Princeton in all disciplines and regional studies programs. The scholars are incorporated into departments’ and programs’ curricula and events, and engage in scholarly exchange with Princeton faculty and students. These appointments bring vital new voices from abroad to Princeton departments and classrooms to inaugurate and sustain durable ties between Princeton and academic centers of excellence around the world.
