The staff at WKU Health Services would like to wish Dr. Michael Stephens a safe trip as he travels with the Confucius Institute at WKU to Bejing China. Last year, 44 faculty/staff, students, and community members took the adventure to China. Our very own, Ta'Neka Vaden, DNP, APRN participated in the adventure and shared her memorable experience with the staff.

This year the Confucius Institute at WKU will lead 29 Zhongguo Adventurers to Beijing China at North China Electric Power University (NCEPU).  On Thursday, May 17th the group will begin their first adventure, with a "Welcome Reception" by the NCEPU faculty/staff and students and learn about the language and culture. The group will end the day with a "Welcome Banquet."
