I am now an active member of the Penn State Chinese Friendship Association. I maintain the website for the organization and have participated in the organization of events such as the new Chinese students welcome reception, the Run for Beijing Olympics, the Mid-autumn Festival Party and the Chinese Culture Festival. The involvement in this association provides me an opportunity to know the Chinese student community (there are about 800 Chinese students in the UP campus) in Penn State and to help people from other countries to learn more about China. I made a lot of friends who share the same hobby, the same hometown or the same former schools with me.
Interestingly, one of my photos at the Chinese Culture Festival has been uploaded to the organization's online album and one of my college friends, who was just about to come to Penn State as a visiting student but didn't know that I am in Penn State, saw that photo and thus re-connected with me.
I play badminton, soccer and table tennis with my friends occasionally and may join one or two university-wide club(s) in the future.
