A high-level delegation led by USC President C. L. Max Nikias completed a successful week of outreach and connections in the Taiwanese capital of Taipei on Feb. 21. The delegation’s purpose was to strengthen existing links with Taiwanese institutions and explore new opportunities for partnerships in Taiwan.

“USC is committed to supporting scholarly talent across the globe, and Taiwan has long been a source of outstanding students and research partnerships for our university,” Nikias said. “I am confident that this delegation will help strengthen USC’s engagement with Taiwanese institutions and open new opportunities for collaboration.”

During the week-long visit, USC delegates met with Chen Chien-jen, vice president of Taiwan, as well as several partners across government, industry and academia while connecting with the university’s growing base of alumni, parents, prospective students and friends. A Feb. 20 reception hosted by the university attracted more than 400 friends and supporters, as well as local heads of schools and academic partners.
