About CLS

The Duke-UNC China Leadership Summit (CLS) invites leading experts to speak on topics of importance to the U.S.-China 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 hosted students for the first time in the spring of 2011. Since then, our annual conference has more than tripled in size from 40 students in 2011 to 150 students in 2024.​
