International Student Conferences Inc.

Supporting the vital strategic relationship between the U.S. and Korea, the Korea-America Student Conference (KASC) build connections between university students by allowing participants to gain a genuine understanding of their international counterparts through open and earnest discussion. This student-led conference brings together up to 30 students studying in the United States and the Republic of Korea for an academically rigorous, three-week-long summer program, during which students live, travel and conduct original, peer-reviewed research together. Students contribute to roundtable discussions that examine various contemporary sociopolitical issues through the lens of the US-ROK relationship, engage with distinguished speakers, and participate in cultural field trips while working toward the overarching goal of building trust and fostering international peace during their lifetimes.

The China-America Student Conference (ChASC) is a 2-week academic and cultural interchange program that brings together an equal number of students representing the United States of America and China for off-the-record discussions on the future of the bilateral relationship. The program is student-run and student-led, allowing for full and frank conversations to occur between emerging young leaders from both countries. Over the course of this intensive and immersive exercise in people-to-people diplomacy, participants will form powerful friendships that will go on to serve as bridges across the Pacific for generations to come.
