We plan to have following projects: 1. Organize student voluntary service groups to give scientific, educational and economic training seminars in China. We plan to organize three groups: education, science and technology, and business management. 2. To organize a Small Business Conference which would provide an opportunity for rural enterprises and private owned business in China to recruit people, business opportunity and contract from the CSS community. 3. Establish IFCSS student awards. The awards will be given to outstanding undergraduate students to further promote the influence of IFCSS in China. 4. To explore the opportunity to establish Returned Student Station in major cities and Overseas Student Villages and help promote the establishment of Overseas Student Economic and Scientific Development Zones. Besides the exchange projects, this term will strengthen and expand student services. The new projects will include: * Telephone Card * Long Distance Telephone Service * Life Insurance * Credit Card * Post Graduate and Post-CSPA student Health Insurance * Placement Program * Hongliang (match-maker) service * New Student Reception Center * CSS Guide Book * Airline Ticket Service In other aspects, we will continue the Congressional Interim program. We hope to send 6 people to Congress this year. We will organize a medium sized seminar to train the student activist on organizing social activities. We will edit a Congressional report which will collect the major news and issues in the CSS community. This would help better promote the interests of Chinese students. This term will start two constructive projects: CSS Job Searching Project and Information Center for Exchange with China. There will be several important activities: 1. IFCSS delegation to visit Taiwan in the end of 1993. 2. Joint Conference in the Spring of 1994. 3. Cooperate with the Taiwan Student Union to organize 4th Taiwan Summer Tour/Seminar. 4. Second Small Business Seminar in Taiwan. (Summer 1993) 5. Hosting the Meeting of Global Federation of Chinese Students. 6. IFCSS 5th anniversary celebration activities. 7. IFCSS 6th Congress. Dear colleagues, we will have a lot of things to do. Let us work together and make IFCSS stronger and more influential. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks for your attention.
