In a grand gesture of gratitude, the Chinese government hosted a group of 24 SUNY (State University of New York) officials—including Alfred State College President Dr. John M. Anderson (one of only two SUNY presidents to make the trip)—and 200 SUNY students as well as another 200 students from colleges and universities throughout the United States in late December.
