Facebook Twitter Email - Political science major Yvonne Lee, '19, hopes to work full time in China someday. To test the waters, she spent 10 weeks last summer interning at the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center, a global policy think tank in Beijing. The job - available through the Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies - allowed her to dive into global policy issues, understand the inner workings of a global research center, connect with Stanford alumni overseas and work with former NBA star Yao Ming. Located near Tsinghua University in Beijing, the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center was established in 2010 as the Chinese branch of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. It convenes scholars who engage in policy analysis and development with the goal of advancing international cooperation.
