In July 2008, Nick Miller (SFS ’10) participated in the 7th Annual Chinese Bridge Chinese Language Competition for Foreign College Students in Changsha, China. The contest, which was nationally broadcast by Hunan TV, was produced in the form of a talent show, with choreographed performances, interviews, and activities. During the course of the program, Nick performed martial arts, Peking opera, traditional Chinese magic tricks, and even advertised products on a live home shopping network. Competing against 120 students from 55 countries, Nick received Third Prize, receiving a scholarship to study abroad in China. To see a video of Nick from the show, click here.

Nick advanced to the finals by winning first prize in the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area competition, which is held annually at the Confucius Institute at the University of Maryland. A Georgetown student has won first prize in this competition every year since its inception in 2002. Other recent winners include Brian Timm-Brock (SFS ’09), Christian Perlingiere (SFS '07), and Angela Clubb (SFS '07).
