Academic Development

Chair: LIU Jifeng 刘继峰 jfliu01@mit.edu

The Committee of Academic Development focuses on promoting activities that are helpful to those who want to pursue an academic career after graduation. We are setting up a network between successful faculty members (especially Chinese faculty members) and perspective students to promote interaction and collaboration. In addition, we will provide opportunities for students who come from different departments but have related research interests to communicate with each other, thereby facilitating inter-group and inter-departmental research partnerships. Being a member of this committee, you will have lots of opportunities to get to know the faculty members in the top universities in the U.S. and China.

We seek to develop mutually beneficial relations with corporations in both U.S. and China. Our main mission is to establish an online career database, which will be customized especially for our Chinese scholars and will provide company background, key contacts and full-time/intern position posts.

Alumni Relations

Chair: XU Heng 徐衡 hengxu@mit.edu

Alumni relations committee is dedicated to establish and maintain connections with past CSSA alums. Their experience and information are valuable sources for current students at MIT. Unfortunately, this was underemphasized in the past, and we have lost touch with many of our alums. This committee is currently working on a project to build a database of Chinese alumni as well as current MIT students. We will be in great need of people to collect alumni information, establish and maintain relationships with them, and edit periodical newsletters. We believe that alumni relations is an important mission for Chinese students at MIT, and you will get a chance to build connections with our alum.

Mentor-Mentee

Chair: HAN Lin 韩林 linhan@mit.edu

The mentor-mentee program is set up to help our new students to start their lives and studies at MIT more smoothly and pleasantly throughout their first year. This program focuses only on new Chinese students and our enthusiastic representatives, and the goal is to provide a more consistent and close-knit relationship between the representatives and their mentees. Remember when you first came here, how friends and even strangers helped you to adapt to MIT? Our newcomers face the same issues and anxieties, so this is your chance to transfer the enthusiasm to them and make a difference in their lives.
