For the Student Life blog, I attended a club called UCLA (United Chinese Language Association of Baruch College). I missed the GIM 1, so I came to the GIM 2 very early because I know many people will be interested in this cool club. The UCLA is basically a cultural club, it serves as a learning center where all the bearcats can participate in learning the Chinese language, culture, and traditions. It is also a promotional tool that helps the bearcats increase their understanding of the beautiful Chinese culture and heritage on campus.
Although it is my first time to join this club, but the club members were really kind and patient. They treated the “new faces” as their own members in this big family. First, each of the clubs representatives introduced their jobs and names, so that if we have any questions on specific parts of this organization, we can get answers from the club’s “specialists”. Then we played some ice-breaker games which made the atmosphere exciting and each of us even closer. My goal for joining in this club is not for finishing the blog homework, but I want to learn more about China, and I am glad to share my own experiences in China with new friends in this club.
That was a pretty fun and meaningful day in my Baruch experience because I know join clubs is an important step to try to integrate into the school community. I want to keep active in this club and I know this will not make me regret. Hope to see more friends and events! Moon Festival is coming!
