CUSEF x Baucus Institute Initiative

Former U.S. Ambassador to China Max Baucus has devoted much of his time to the Max S. Baucus Institute in Montana, his home town, to break down barriers so that students can see, serve, and lead in politics, government, and overseas studies. The Institute's main areas of focus are: public service, climate, and U.S./China relations. Since 2023, CUSEF has been collaborating with Baucus Institute on educational exchange programs.
