   As one of the original 21 members who founded USTCAF, I am really excited about the recent growth of USTCAF and big achievements of USTC. Therefore, I would like to become more actively involved with USTCAF activities and work with each of you to make our contributions to the mission of USTCAF.

   I am looking forwarding to joining the board and working for AF.

   I just realized that USTCAF has done excellent jobs and pulled a good family of alumni together. It had the best team-spirit competing for leading edge and it started many important initiatives. I will try my best to work on the board if elected, and to fulfill the mission of USTCAF. This is one way for me to pay back the solid education obtained from USTC.

   I have been a life member for about 5 years and care about the AF and USTC. I organized or helped to organize a few activities of alumni in Austin. I also hosted the Austin alumni webpage for a year or so. I want to make contributions to the activity of local alumni in greater Boston area (and other places) when I move there this March. I believe it is very important for everyone to realize he/she can contribute to the continued success of USTC.

   Last year I went back to Keda with the 2003 USTCAF delegation. It brought back lots of memories. Keda has not only laid the solid foundation towards our further education, but also awarded us with wonderful lifelong friends. Keda encouraged innovative learning, creative thinking and healthy competition, these are the Keda spirit. These helped Keda graduates stand out in their further studies and works. This trip also showed me what wonderful jobs the alumni foundation has done over the years, I would like to join the organization to reach to more alumni, and help promote and instill the Keda spirit with younger kids in today's world. Thank you.

   I have served GB for two years and it's an interesting experience. In my opinion, AF is not a professinal organization yet, but definitely it's a good club if you really like USTC. I have helped AF to deal with communications on HSS/ONS issues and I think this year I can do something similiar. By the way, my location, Shanghai, could help AF a little.

   1997-2001 Staff Engineer, Process R&D, LSI Logic Corp.

   I have served in various alumni and international student organizations, including USTC AA in Silicon Valley, USTC Alumni Fundation, and 1994 Chair of Auburn University CSSO and Committee Chair of International Student Organizations.

   USTC had it's years of glory in the past. A growing and establishing network of alumni from those days could be a solid foundation that USTC can leverage to maintain it's excellence and continue to attract talents. AF has demonstrated that a strong alumni network can be beneficial for both USTC and its alumni. Besides financial donation, we can also contribute our expertise/projects in engineering or academic, by networking the alumni in engineering, faculty and entrepreneur fields, and by promoting alumni/industry cooperation with USTC and its entities.

   I have been working with other USTCers to organize some activities towards these goals, and would like to continue to work with other AFGB members and fellow alumni to contribute to the success of USTC and its alumni.

   To me the most important and memorable time was the period I had spent at KeDa. From what we can tell now, our old school is no longer enjoying the prestige it used to in the competitive sense. There are too many factors contributed to that. Most of us may believe that there are not much we can do to change it. However, whatever we can do to help, significant or less significant, will be in the right direction to better our school. I admire the dedication and sacrifice of the previous board members over the years. I'm willing to put in some effort to help our mission.

    It is our obligation to help USTC and USTCAF. No matter how much I helped and how much I can contribute in future, I am proud that I cared. Be a proud USTCer!

    I have been serving the USTCAF for three years, and I hope to continue my service this year. I wish my work can in some way contribute to AF's mission: to help USTC, and to help USTC alumni fulfill their dreams. The USTCAF is still in its early years, and the financial strength and its influence are still weak. But there are great prospects that are worth waiting and fighting for.

   After the USTC 2003 Delegation trip, I witnessed the enthusiasm and effort that many USTC Alumni have put in for the future of USTC. Through good team work a lot of good results have been achieved. I wanted to be more helpful. But since it is difficult to foresee how much time I can devote to AF in year 2004, I would like to start with being a board-elect member.
