§§ T he BYU Chinese Flagship Center was established in 2002 by a grant from the National Security Education Program (NSEP). Its mission is to develop high Chinese proficiency levels in students. Flagship students are prepared to function professionally in Chinese within their chosen field of interest. This often leads to students entering China-related careers, government service, or similar professions. If you know of interested students, please refer them to our office in JKB 3122. §§ Dr. Matthew Christensen, Chinese Flagship Center Director and Chinese Professor in the Asian
