************************************************************** IFCSS Headquarters News Release No. 5061 Sept 27, 1993 ************************************************************** Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars (IFCSS) 733 15th Street, N.W., Suite 440, Washington, D.C.20005 Tel. (202)347-0017 Fax: (202)347-0018 Email: ifcss@wam.umd.edu The IFCSS President Visits Midwest Schools =============================================== Mr. Lin Changsheng, the IFCSS President, and Mr. Huang Songyun, IFCSS HQ Chief of Staff, have hit on the road to the Midwest schools to promote solidarity and connections among the Chinese student community. During the IFCSS Fifth Congress, many delegates voiced the concern that the HQ lacked connections with local CSS organizations. To promote such connections and the IFCSS's various service programs, the IFCSS President, Vice President and HQ staff have made short visits to local schools near Washington DC area. This is the third of such trips. The first two proved successful in consolidating the IFCSS HQ's relation with local CSS community and most importantly establishing relations with schools that previously had no connection with the IFCSS. The IFCSS service programs were also well received, especially the medical insurance program marked by its seasonal characteristics (i.e., most students buy medical insurance in the fall season). The following is the itinerary of the HQ's staff midwest trip.
