Elected as the president of the UC Berkeley China Club. The China Club brings together UC Berkeley graduate students from campus departments such as the schools of information, engineering, and business who share a common interest in understanding and meeting the challenges related to China's rise as a global cultural, economic, and intellectual power. Our mission is to promote Chinese awareness by fostering strong ties between UC Berkeley graduate students and members of industry, academia, and governmental bodies who share a common interest in China. In January 2006, we organized a trip to China where we met with student organizations and Chinese companies. The trip was a success and resulted in the creation of strong bilateral ties between our club and our Chinese counterparts.
