Who are we?
The Duke-UNC China Leadership Summit is an annual student-run conference organized by Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. We invite leading experts to speak on topics of importance to Sino-US relations and create a platform for students from across the United States and all over the world to exchange perspectives on these issues, connect with speakers, and network with one another.
"CLS helped me discover and develop my passions for China, international relations and connecting people with other people that share these passions. The people I met and worked with are not just great business contacts to have down the line but are my good friends."

“I made long-lasting and professional connections with students from both Duke and UNC. Additionally, I was able to build my managing and cross-cultural abilities, something that I have found to be extremely appealing to employers and higher education institutions.”
