The CSSA is a non-profit, non-political organization with volunteer executives, with members consisting of ethnic Chinese scholars and students and their families working at or attending UAB, primarily from the People's Republic of China. Its purpose is to serve as a coordinate center to provide information and service to Chinese Students and Scholars around UAB, and to represent Chinese students and scholars to express their wishes and to protect their entitled rights and legal interests. The CSSA organizes several monthly activities to help promote the maintenance of a sense of Chinese culture among UAB community.

        On behalf of all the volunteers and members of the CSSA, we would like to welcome everybody to join us and contribute to this union. The new executives will do their best to satisfy members' needs and hope everyone could say: " I came, I saw, I like UAB CSSA!".

Wu Xiaqing : Committee Member

Graduated from Computer Science Department of Tianjin University in 1998. Currently a Ph.D student in CIS at UAB.

The main reason for me to join the CSSA group is that I'd like to do something useful for our Chinese students and scholars here. I can not forget the pleasure and assistance that the former CSSA brought to me. So I hope with the effort of this new CSSA, we can continue to provide good services for all our Chinese friends. One of my biggest dream is to make a huge Chinese mp3 library before my graduation. Actually, I have already gathered some. If you have interests in that, please feel free to contact with me.
