Freshman Seminar Fall 17 CFB

United Chinese Language Association (UCLA)

I attended the United Chinese Language Association’s (UCLA) General Interest Meeting #2.  UCLA is a club that strives to promote and educate students of the Chinese culture. This was one of the clubs I was interested in and signed up for during the club fair on convocation day. At the meeting, I was able to meet some of the few representatives of the club, as well as other first year students. The club members introduced to us some of the events that would take place such as the Mid-Autumn (Mooncake) and Lunar Festival. I also learned that in order to verify as a UCLA member we have to attend 1 GIM, 1 Social event, and 1 Chinese Learning Program. As a whole group we split into two teams and played Google family feud and a zooming in picture game. Chinese food was also served and everyone was able to get to know each other. Attending this event in general was really meaningful. I’m glad I went not just only for the FRO assignment. My experience was really fun and it was nice being around people who have a similar background to me. Being someone who lived in the U.S. for most of my life it’s nice to be able to learn more about my culture and where I’m from. This is officially my first step in taking part of Baruch Student Life and I really hope on continuing of being an active member in this club.
