John Crespi, Luce Associate Professor of Chinese at Colgate University, wanted something different for the students participating on the study group to China that he is leading in fall 2016. Something that would provide his students extensive Chinese language practice and rich involvement in Chinese society. Which led to Professor Crespi working CET (China Educational Tours, a study abroad provider) to help create a program to have his students work at the mall.
