Two members of the Class of 2025, Benedict Ballman and Rui Huang, have been chosen for the 11th cohort of the highly selective Schwarzman Scholars international graduate fellowship program. The Schwarzman Scholars program focuses on tackling the world’s greatest challenges and “redefining global leadership for the 21st century.” Scholars from universities around the world join for a one-year master’s in global affairs at Beijing’s Tsinghua University. During the fellowship, Ballman said he will study China’s AI frameworks to develop AI-intellectual property policies that support creatives such as himself. “We are proud to see Vanderbilt represented by these remarkable young leaders.”ABOUT THE SCHWARZMAN SCHOLARSThe Schwarzman Scholars program, in its 11th year.
