Our Story

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. Sino American Culture & Performance Exchange emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. Established in 2005, we’re an organization driven by progressive ideas, bold actions, and a strong foundation to support. Westminster College, Utah and Donghua University, Nankai University of China's education cooperations history with our sacrifice unselfishly.


(The picture shows that Nankai University obtained an American undergraduate degree after two years of study at the University of Westminster in the United States and entered financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs)


To cope with the friction and challenges of today's education market and concepts, professionals who can bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks are needed. The US-China Cultural and Art Exchange Association has the courage to sacrifice its own interests and selflessly demonstrate its value in the educational exchanges between the two countries in order to bring advanced educational prospects to Chinese students and realize their dreams. The history of our educational cooperation began like this:


In 2005, when we led American college students to visit Nankai University, Shanghai Donghua University, and Beijing Normal University, we came up with the idea of ​​creating "double degrees" and exchange students with American universities for them. And our final success came from the association's selflessness and "silly energy".


Since 2006, the association has invested two years of time and money to go back and forth between the leadership of the University of Westminster (ranked #19 in the western United States) and the Sunrise Business School of Shanghai Donghua University and the School of Economics of Nankai University to open their international cooperation thinking and persuade them to cooperate with each other. At that time, in the midst of political and ideological friction, the association's president Dong Rongcan used his own funds, used his wisdom, took into account the interests of the two countries' education, planned and taught Americans "how to speak" in China, and even drafted a cooperation contract. June 2008 was a harvest season. The association led the "University of Westminster President and Dean Delegation" to visit China and signed a formal cooperation contract with Nankai University and Donghua University. However, none of the three schools was willing to bear the association's travel expenses, and even regarded it as "the involvement of an intermediary institution, which the three schools were not happy with."


In order to meet the "no intermediary intervention" self-performance mentality of the two domestic universities, the association endured humiliation and pursued success. It only invested without seeking returns, and completed the public welfare project with two years of labor and capital investment. Donghua University and Nankai University opened the history of Sino-US educational cooperation without spending a penny. At the contract signing ceremony, when the three parties shook hands, the association also completed the mission of "building bridges and persuading people on both sides of the strait to cross the river."
