英文介紹：
Peking University Alumni Association of Southern California (PUAASC) was founded in 1985 in Los Angeles, California. PUAASC is an IRS approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with the following primary objectives:
To promote the welfare of Peking University (PKU) by facilitating academic, cultural, business and educational exchange and cooperation with the research, educational, cultural, business and other institutions in Southern California.
To strengthen connections among Peking University alumni residing in Southern California; and to provide financial and other necessary support to PUAASC members, their families and friends who suffer from unexpected causalities or otherwise need emergent assistance.
To establish and maintain cooperative relationships with Chinese communities, Asian communities, and all other ethnic communities in Southern California; and to encourage our alumni to participate in community activities in order to promote the welfare of the entire society.
Ever since its foundation, PUAASC has played a key role in organizing a number of major events. For example,
In 1998, we organized the PKU Centennial Celebration in Southern California.
In 2000, we held the China E-Commerce 2000 Conference.
In 2000 and 2001, we hosted two visits of the Peking University Delegations headed by PKU President Zhihong Xu.
In 2001, we raised $60,000 for PKU Education Foundation (USA) at a dinner banquet.
In May 2002, we held a joint annual convention with Beijing Medical University Alumni Association (now a part of PUAASC). Two distinguished world-class biotech scholars, Dr. Shu Chien, (Director, Whitaker Institute of Biomedical Engineering at UCSD) and Dr. Fu-Kuen Lin (former Director of Department of Biomedical Science at Amgen, Inc.) were invited to give keynote speeches.
We raised a considerable amount of fund for PKU to fight against SARS in 2003.
PUSSAC also maintains a strong tie with other PKU alumni associations in the United States (e.g., PKU Alumni Association of Northern California and PKU Alumni Association of San Diego) and other community organizations.
In the summers of 2002 and 2003, PUAASC, Tsinghua University Alumni Association and Chiao Tong University Alumni Association held joint picnics. Over 300 hundred people attended the event each year.
PUAASC, Chinese Scholar Association and Chinese Association for Science and Technology organized a delegation to the Fifth Convention of Overseas Chinese Scholars in Science and Technology held in Guangzhou in December 28-30, 2002.
To date, PUAASC has grown to an association of nearly 600 registered members in Southern California. We will strive to organize more activities to serve our members, our Alma Mater and our local community.
