The TBC Alumni Book (2020), is a photo-based book representative of the past 22 years of TBC’s history, since its beginning. This alumni book deviates from a traditional alumni book by creatively projecting the TBC experience’s boldness and excitement. Intended as a coffee-table mainstay, this spread quietly incorporates Chinese cultural symbols throughout the themed designs while engaging each photo in the process. Each section displays a set of compiled photos representative of a specific TBC experience, with photos of TBC students, staff, guests, partners, educators, and friends. The themed sections include TBC from the Beginning, TBC Opening Ceremony, The Beijing Times, Student Travel, Service Learning, Silk Road Excursion, Yunnan Province Excursion, Internships, Chinese Roommate Appreciation, Student Photography, TBC Closing Ceremony, and Group Photos.

My time at TBC gave me the opportunity to truly observe 21st century China. The Chinese nation is filled with a confidence & ambition that is infectious. It never ceases to amaze me how different China is from the image we see in the West.

This country is so beyond beautiful. The biggest lesson that TBC taught me is that only through thoroughly developing an understanding of Chinese culture and society can Western nations offer a helping hand in the looming environmental crises.
