I te tau 2008, ka hono atu te Hinckley Institute of Politics me te Li Ka-shing Foundation i Hong Kong, Haina ki te tono i nga akonga e rima mai i te Whare Wananga o Utaha me nga akonga e whitu mai i te Whare Wananga o Shantou i Shantou, Haina ki te mahi hei akonga nupepa i te wa o te pooti perehitini 2008. I arahina ngā ākonga e Frank Folwell, he kaiwhakahaere whakaahua o mua o "USA Today" me tana wahine a Sherry Riccardi. I tae ngā ākonga ki ngā Huihuinga o te Rōpū Manapori me te Rōpū Reipa
He aha? Mai i reira ka haere ratou ki Washington, DC i reira i whakapumautia ai e ratou to ratou tari matua i nga tari o Policy Impact, he whakahaere tohe me te whanaungatanga a te iwi i raro i te kaiarahi o William Nixon (he Hoa o te Hinckley Institute of Politics).
