GLOBAL GATEWAY BEIJING AN INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SCHOLARSHIP AND COLLABORATION WELCOME TO NOTRE DAME The University of Notre Dame boasts a network of extraordinary facilities and programs located around the world—the Notre Dame Global Gateways. Under the aegis of Notre Dame International (NDI), the Global Gateways are academic and intellectual centers where scholars, students, and leaders from universities, government, business, and the community gather to discuss issues of topical and enduring relevance. At each Global Gateway, the Notre Dame community and its many international partners and colleagues work together to advance knowledge across all disciplines with a view to the common good. Beijing, a thriving metropolis rich in history, culture, commerce, and political influence, is home to Notre Dame’s Global Gateway to Asia. The Beijing Global Gateway supports the University’s commitment to internationalize Notre Dame’s academic mission by creating and nurturing partnerships with universities, corporations, research institutes, and scholarly communities across Asia. These partnerships in mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand serve as the foundation for a broad range of academic programs.
