EPIIC, TILIP symposiums kick off with ping pong tournament

Ten students from China and dozens of Tufts students challenged one another to ping pong and discussed US/Chinese diplomacy on Sunday evening at the kickoff event of the annual Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship (EPIIC) symposium, Global Games: Sports, Politics and Society. The competitions and debates with such a far-flung group were possible only because the Chinese students were already on campus, attending the Globalization and Modernization in China symposium, a correlated event sponsored by the Tufts Institute for Leadership and International Perspective (TILIP).
