Club Activities 2007-2008
The Chinese Culture Club has had another year of accomplishments. Its membership has grown to more than two hundred over the course of two years. Dr. Kylie Hsu, the Faculty Advisor to the Club, has launched an award program to recognize members with outstanding contributions to the Club. She presented an Outstanding Leadership Award to the Club President, Andrew McKinn, and an Outstanding Service Award to the Club Vice President, Matthew Winter, at the International Symposium on Using Eastern Wisdom to Nurture the Body and Mind in the 21st Century, April 14, 2008. Additionally, Dr. Matsunaga, Department Chair, presented the Kylie Hsu Endowed Scholarship to Chris Ballangee for his academic achievement in Chinese. The symposium was co-organized by the Chinese Program and the Chinese Culture Club, in collaboration with two international humanitarian organizations--Tai Ji Men Qigong Academy and the Federation of World Peace and Love--which also co-sponsored the event. The proceedings were reported in the Sing Tao Metro News, April 16, 2008. Additional activities organized by the Chinese Culture Club include Chinese "table talk", peer tutoring, and a cultural performance on May 1, 2008 to celebrate the Asian Pacific American Heritage Month Kickoff.
