Dr. Howard Cochran and Belmont’s School of Business, Junior Achievement and Li Weaver of the Tennessee China Development Center welcomed a group of 22 high school students from eight high schools in Beijing, China to Belmont on Feb. 3.

The program was a pilot for potential annual program at Belmont to bring Chinese students to campus.
