Mr. Guy Armstrong

In 1997, Guy led a team of collegians from the USA to China for a summer exchange. Since that time his love for China, its culture and people, has grown. In 2000-2001, he and his wife and four children lived in Shanghai where he studied Mandarin at Tongji University and co-anchored, “Teaching English from the Movies,” an internet based, English teaching program. In 2001, he returned to the USA and began to facilitate cross cultural leadership development programs between the USA and many different countries, always giving special focus to China. He founded Ascend International (AI) in 2012. AI spawned a number of programs: STEAM: developing children and teens in STEM subjects and skills necessary for their future; PASSAGES: a leadership development initiative that brings Chinese collegians or early career professionals to the U.S for internships and training. Finally, l2L is a program that brings American professionals to China on “voluntourism” experiences. Professionals conduct seminars at universities and help mentor China’s next generation of leaders.

In 2023, Guy accepted a position in Campbell University’s Global Engagement Department. He is tasked with increasing Campbell’s global footprint. Given his experience, he has devoted most of that time to China.

Guy has developed programs to connect the east and the west in leadership development programs with both non-profit and for-profit companies. Hundreds of Americans and Chinese have crossed cultures through programs he has developed or helped to direct. He is most pleased that lifelong friendships and deeper understanding between cultures have been forged as well as emerging leaders equipped to better serve mankind.
