University of Michigan Lieberthal-Rogel Center for Chinese Studies Fall 2015 — Faculty News 8 President Schlissel, the 14th president of the University, made his inaugural trip to China in the summer of 2015 as well. LRCCS faculty accompanied him to Fudan University for a meeting with the Fudan University President, Xu Ningsheng, and other administrators. With LRCCS faculty associate, Wang Zheng, we discussed the Joint Institute on Gender Student News 15 Studies, which has been jointly run by Professor Wang and Professor Chen Yan in the history department at Fudan. The Presidents also re-signed a general MOU to promote further exchange. In March 2015, Professor Emeritus Robert Dernberger passed away. Bob was one of the founding members of the China Center and served as its director twice during his long Events 19 career at Michigan as a professor in the department of economics. Bob will be sorely missed. He leaves a long legacy of students who were trained in the study of the Chinese economy. To honor this legacy, the Center will host a Symposium on the Chinese Economy on October 30, 2015 at the Ross School of Business. Nicholas Lardy, one of Bob’s students, and a renowned expert on the Chinese economy, will give a keynote speech. Many other Outreach 22 former students and colleagues will return to campus to mark this occasion. We hope to see many in the LRCCS community there.

All the best for the new academic year, Resources 24
