Introduction of the Georgia Tech Chinese Student Association (GT-CSA)
by Larry H. Lin, President, 5/22/1996
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The Georgia Tech Chinese Student Association is here to serve you!
Our participants all share these following common traits:
  - Love for the Chinese culture (foods, holiday, arts, heritage);
  - Enjoying friendship with other Chinese-Americans who are 
      just like themselves;
  - Participation in social, athletic, cultural, community, academic, 
      professional and even computer-based events;
  - Mutually helping each other in adapting to Georgia Tech, to 
      college life, and to Atlanta metro area.

We recognize that the best way to create a fun and enjoyable environment 
is to remain politically neutral, respecting individuality, combine a 
large enough group to leverage our ability to influence Georgia Tech 
campus (e.g. receive significant sources of funding, host large events, 
cater to different needs, ensure equal treatment of Chinese Americans 
on campus.)  Keeping these beliefs in mind, there are many reasons why 
every year 200+ members choose to become GT-CSA members:
  = AFFORDABILITY -- very low membership fee compared to most student 
      organizations;
  = WIDE RANGE OF CHOICES -- There are activities for everyone!  From 
      weekend-long camping trips, competitive Intramural sports teams 
      (e.g. volleyball, softball, basketball ... ), Annual Atlanta 
      Chinese Olympics team to Chinatown community service projects, 
      Chinese New Year dinner banquet, active Internet presence 
      (newsgroup, FTP and world wide web) and job search assistance.  
      GT-CSA satisfies everyone's needs, from the most active lifestyle 
      to the most comprehensive information resources.
  = PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT -- By choosing to become 
      involved as an officer, committee member or and extra active member, 
      you can add precious leadership experience onto yourself and your 
      resume.  "You get what you put into CSA."  GT-CSA is also a job 
      center where recruiters and talent agents frequently stop by to 
      seek out available candidates!
  = FOODS, FUN, FRIENDSHIP -- GT-CSA will make your stay at Georgia Tech 
      a more exciting, enriching and memorable one!
