The Chinese bussiness student assotiation] serves as the/to provide a way for Chinese students, especially, to play roles in a natural company environment. As far as we observed, even though some associations focus on providing Chinese students with an organization to participate in, none of them focus on how to make students from different fields and majors collaboratively interact like what we do in a real business company. For example, accounting students run audits; psychology students work on organizational culture, social work plans attractive activities, etc. Also, we would like to share information on what business clubs and entertainment clubs to join, helping them at their convenience, like providing group chat about rides and used items, etc., especially for Chinese students to be better involved in this school. Students of other ethnicities are also welcome; they can have a perfect opportunity to study and practice Chinese. There would be certain openings in law and theater groups preferring real top students. We would also provide Chinese corners to help students at UIUC learn more about Chinese culture.

Membership Benefits
