international landscape. The University supports faculty and researchers who are shaping fields of inquiry that increasingly have an international landscape of challenges. New educational opportunities facilitate the exposure of our students to international settings and make our campus and programs accessible to a wider international audience. An academically diverse environment is enhanced by our firm commitment to <a href="http://freeexpression.uchicago.edu/" target="_blank">free and open inquiry</a> and innovative programs enhance the University’s global reach and impact.</p> <p>Our global connections and interactions have been bolstered by the established University centers in<a href="https://centerinparis.uchicago.edu" target="_blank"> Paris</a> (2004), <a href="https://www.uchicago.cn" target="_blank">Beijing</a> (2010), and <a href="https://www.uchicago.in" target="_blank">Delhi</a> (2014) and its newest campus in <a href="https://www.uchicago.hk" target="_blank">Hong Kong</a> (2018), in addition to the Chicago Booth program in <a href="https://www.chicagobooth.edu/about/locations/london" target="_blank">London</a>,<a href="https://www.chicagobooth.edu/about/locations/london"> </a>the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures's field house in <a href="https://oi.uchicago.edu/research/chicago-house-history" target="_blank">Luxor</a>, and the research organization in <a href="http://www.urb-bd.org/" target="_blank">Bangladesh</a>. Each location enhances our ability to support the extension of the intellectual life of the University on the global stage. These intellectual destinations deepen the University's capacity for global scholarship, engage our more than 180,000 alumni, bring new voices to campus, and contribute to the intellectual, political and cultural life of their local communities.</p> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="uchi-layout"> <div class="region region-sections"> <div class="container">
