About China Gateway

The China Gateway, established in 2010 and located in Shanghai, builds upon Ohio State's long-standing partnerships and strategic engagement with China. The Gateway fosters connections and facilitates opportunities for students, researchers, alumni and partners.

From Columbus, Ohio, to Shanghai, China, the China Gateway helps Ohio State remain connected to alumni and friends in the region. By 2021, six Ohio State alumni clubs have been established in the Greater China region including Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Taiwan. The China Gateway strives to provide resources to incoming students, promote academic programs and identify internships for students to gain practical experiences in their future careers. Since 2012, the China Gateway has partnered with the Offices of International Affairs, Student Academic Success and Student Life to host Pre-Departure Orientation (PDO) and offered an opportunity for future students and their families to learn important information about Ohio State before traveling to the United States. The China Gateway's robust social media strategy is catered to its Chinese audience with Weibo, Wechat, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram accounts that are followed by more than 50,000 Buckeyes and friends.

The China Gateway office has seen tremendous growth and has been at the forefront engaging students, faculty, alumni, parents, university and business partners with Ohio State and China.
