The purpose of the Chinese Student Association is to increase understanding and awareness about traditional Chinese and Chinese American culture through social and educational activities. We strongly stress the importance of campus and community interaction in our programs. Some events sponsored by CSA are Celebrasia and the annual Lunar Ball. By networking and co-sponsoring such events with other Asian Pacific American and non-Asian Pacific American groups campus-wise and locally, we are determined to increase unity and diversity on campus.

In the immediate community at U of M, the Chinese Student Association hopes to create bonds between students of Chinese and Chinese American backgrounds by providing activities where they can meet other students of similar backgrounds. CSA contributes not just to an Asian community, but the general U of M community through educational events such as notable speakers, cultural exhibitions and performances. We sponsor cultural and social acitivies open to everyone and it is encouraging to see students of all backgrounds enjoy CSA's events. We definitely hope to help increase Chinese culture throughout the community by holding forums, panel discussions, charity events, more spearkers, etc. in the future. We hope that YOU will take CSA to a whole new level this year - it's tons of fun and a great way to meet new people. Get involved--don't miss out!
