Over the course of their year at Stanford University, fellows will audit classes, improve their English skills, and conduct individual research projects; at year's end, they will make a formal presentation on the findings from their research.
Throughout these experiences, they gain a firsthand understanding of business, society, and culture in the United States and contribute to the intellectual exchange at APARC.
