Arriving on the Hampshire College campus to take part in the summer 2013 Food, Farm and Sustainability Institute, Enli Li and Mengxiao Wang found themselves immersed in a new culture.
The two students from Anhui Agricultural University in China participated in the six-week Institute through a grant from the Henry Luce Foundation’s Luce Initiative on Asian Studies and the Environment. Administrators at the University, a longtime partner in Hampshire’s China Exchange program, are particularly interested in learning how to develop an agricultural program within an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum, as Hampshire has successfully done for decades.
