Sié Chéou-Kang

Sié Chéou-Kang is the father of philanthropist John Sie.  He was born in Kiangsi, China, on 7 August 1898, just ahead of the early 20th century revolutions that would change his homeland forever.  This remarkable renaissance man epitomizes the spirit of internationalism that is a hallmark of the Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security and Diplomacy and the Josef Korbel School.

The Sié Cheou-Kang Center provides in-depth graduate-level training for future leaders in the fields of international security, international diplomacy, and leadership. The Center hosts policy and academic workshops on current international security issues and uses this website to disseminate important research on these issues nationally and internationally.
