Established in 2014, the Hong Kong Global Center is ideally located in the Greater Bay Area to extend Notre Dame’s network within Asia, along with the Beijing Global Gateway. In its short tenure, the Global Center has fostered a number of new relationships with top local universities and corporations, facilitated student exchanges, identified several summer internship opportunities for undergraduates, and hosted Notre Dame’s inaugural Global Forum, which brought together hundreds of Notre Dame leadership, alumni, and partners. Notre Dame International also offers research grants for faculty interested in working in Hong Kong, or in greater China.

Along with Notre Dame’s alumni club in Hong Kong, the Center has built a robust and active community who is eager to welcome visitors, admitted students, undergraduates, and faculty, to their branch of the Notre Dame family. The pair has been instrumental in expanding the University’s reach in Asia, recruiting undergraduate applicants, and helping with career development for those in Hong Kong.
