What is HSYLC? 🗼
The HAUSCR Summit for Young Leaders in China (HSYLC) is the largest student-run conference in Asia, dedicated to bringing liberal arts education to China’s top-performing high school students.
This year, HSYLC is super excited to be taking YOU to four cities in China: Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen!
Celebrating its twentieth iteration, the energy, caliber, and overall experience of HSYLC is unmatched.
Hear from our latest Seminar Leaders in 2024 here!
Check out our Seminar Leaders Testimonials of 2017 above!
As Seminar Leader, you will teach HSYLC students in a seminar of your design on any topic of your choosing (<15 students per seminar), enjoy free food and room accommodations, meet hundreds of Chinese students, industry professionals, and other seminar leaders from Harvard. You can immerse in China through the unique perks offered at each site, whether that is bonding through sailing, visiting historical sites, or attending networking events. Join us to inspire, learn, and grow—while creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Receive a nearly fully covered trip to China.
WE ARE INCREDIBLY excited to announce that we will be offering a nearly fully coverage of SL flights to China! As with all SLs in the past, we will continue to work with you to ensure that financial restrictions are not up to any concern.
“I was very intrigued by the opportunity of visiting China. Touring a country is great, but interacting at a deeper level with the people is perhaps even more enriching.”

Teach Anything
HSYLC, unlike other overseas teaching programs, offers Seminar Leaders the opportunity to decide what they want to teach and how they will teach it. Through a week-long seminar, Seminar Leaders are able to introduce unique concepts to some of China's best students. Past subjects include business consulting, digital design, history of hip-hop, black holes, poetry, and fencing.
-
Leave Your Mark
HSYLC is instrumental in exposing Chinese students to a liberal arts education. Through HSYLC, Harvard students can positively impact the students' personal and academic development and open their eyes to a world of ideas and opportunities. HSYLC alumni have gone on to study at top institutions, and HSYLC remains the only student-run program in the world where Harvard admissions officers present.
-
Build Your Community
The HSYLC community is a wide yet tight and talented community. Seminar Leaders also act as deans of twelve houses to which students belong, much like at Harvard, and participate in bonding activities like intramural competitions and a fashion show. Harvard students have formed long-lasting friendships with their students, TFs, volunteers, and fellow Seminar Leaders.
Some of the biggest names in China have come to engage with the HSYLC community such as Jack Ma, Founder of Alibaba, and Yao Ming, NBA Hall of Fame, Olympians, and social ambassador.
We can't wait to welcome you to the Family!
