About the Institute
The Sands Institute for Chinese Language and Culture at UNLV is a vibrant center for learning and cultural exchange. Through innovative Mandarin language education, immersive cultural programming, community engagement, and global partnerships, we provide unique opportunities to explore Chinese heritage and its contributions to the world.
Our mission is to equip students, professionals, and community members with the perspectives and insights essential for success in a culturally diverse and interconnected world.

- Student internships and study abroad opportunities in China for professional and cultural immersion.
- Faculty travel to enhance academic scholarship and exchange
- Community events that promote cross-cultural understanding.
