"Our hope is that the Scholars will form lasting relationships. As the Scholars
move into positions of leadership, they will find it enormously helpful to draw
upon the friendships and insights that were formed through association with other
Asia Pacific Scholars." --Professor Walter Falcon, director of Stanford University's
Institute for International Studies

Program Elements

The program is designed to foster a commitment to the emerging Pacific community.
Program activities will build knowledge of the diverse cultures and underlying
dynamics of social, political, economic, and technological change in the Asia/Pacific
region. A/P Scholars will also have an opportunity to build professional skills and
personal networks, thereby preparing themselves for regional and global leadership
positions in their chosen profession. Like the Rhodes Scholars program at Oxford
University, designation as an A/P Scholar at Stanford University will become a
lifelong association.

"Thirty years from now, it's conceivable that there would be hundreds of former Asia
Pacific Scholars in positions of influence throughout Asia."--Ambassador Michael
Armacost, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan

A/P Scholars must be enrolled in regular graduate or professional degree programs at
Stanford. Program activities in the first year of affiliation will include a regular
dinner/seminar series on topics related to Asia and the United States; periodic meet
ings with leading educators, scientists, officials, and business people in the Bay
Area and visitors to campus; the presentation of graduate research; a trip to
Washington in the spring to meet with top United States government officials and
Asian diplomats; and internship opportunities. A/P Scholars in their second year are
expected to mentor first years and participate in conferences and round-table
discussions on topics of relevance to the Program. In succeeding years,
A/P Scholars will be invited to special events on campus. A long-term objectivve of
the program is to include regional briefings in Asia that draw upon the expertise
and contacts of former A/P Scholars.
