A Letter from USF Greater China Alumni Chapter

To All USF Alumni in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan,

中国大陆、香港、澳门和台湾的各位校友: 

With its growing influence and global reach, USF's reputation of academic excellence has grown exponentially in the greater China area. In recent years, mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and the Taiwan region have become top sources of incoming students and the gathering places for outstanding alumni. This increase in students has produced alumni who have achieved great success and developed into young leaders in their respective fields. 

随着学校学术声誉和国际影响力的提升，旧金山大学在大中华地区的品牌声望有了较大提升，已经成为大家认可的一所知名学府。近几年，中国大陆、香港、澳门和台湾已经成为学校最重要的生源地和优秀校友的聚集地，一大批优秀校友已经在各行各业取得喜人的成就，成为各地、各行业的年轻精英、青年翘楚。

With the increased number of alumni in China and beyond, uniting alumni through an organization has become an important aspiration. The creation of an alumni association would help alumni expand their network, enhance resource sharing, realize win-win cooperation, and promote alumni career progress. By supporting our alumni through a formalized platform, USF hopes to ignite and unify our collective strength. 

随着大中华地区校友规模的增长和校友实力的呈现，通过一定的组织形式将校友凝聚在一起显得更加重要。校友组织的建设将帮助校友实现人脉拓展、资源共享、合作共赢，促进自己的事业发展。而学校也非常希望通过校友组织这一平台，凝聚校友力量，推动学校发展更上一层楼。

With the support of the University, including USF President Paul J. Fitzgerald,  USF will create the Greater China Alumni Chapter (GCAC) and will seek leadership and support from George Fang '16 (founder of Asian Entrepreneurs Club) Wendy Hong '16, Yan Xiong '16, and Ricky Lv '15 to guide the establishment and launch of this alumni chapter. They will support the Chapter and give guidance from time to time. 

在学校的支持下，特别是在校长Paul J. Fitzgerald的亲自关心下，旧金山大学决定设立“大中华区校友会”（Greater China Area Alumni Chapter，简称GCAC），学校邀请2016届校友George Fang（亚洲创业家俱乐部创始人）、Wendy Hong、Yan Xiong 和2015届校友Ricky Lv，协助学校推进校友会的筹备工作，他们将为校友会的成立和后续发展提供持续的帮助。

We invite all alumni living in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan to join the Greater China Alumni Chapter.  The USF GCAC will set up multiple regional branches in the area, and work to host events, gatherings, company visits, and professional forums. Additionally, the chapter will organize annual signature events including a Youth Entrepreneur Forum and Alumni Annual Banquet. We hope that you will join us as we work to strengthen our relationships with each other and USF. 

我们邀请定居在中国大陆、香港、澳门和台湾的各位校友加入GCAC大中华区校友会。GCAC将设立多个地区分会，以实现各地校友的凝聚。我们将会定期在不同城市举办校友聚会、企业参观、行业论坛等常规活动，并打造包括青年企业家论坛、年度校友晚宴、新生欢送会在内的年度品牌活动，凝聚校友力量、搭建USF校友人脉网络、促进资源共享、合作共赢，进而扩大USF的品牌影响力和社会认同感。
