I hope you all had a great break, and have a safe trip back to Ithaca!

If you want tickets to Winter Solstice Festival Semi-formal or C.U.Tube, I will be at the Hotel School Library at the circulation desk from 10:00-11:30am tomorrow! See details below about the events, and our Twitter @CornellCSA for my whereabouts.

The Dong Zhi Winter Solstice Festival commemorates the shortest day on the solar calendar. Among the most widely celebrated East Asian festivals, Dong Zhi is derived from the Yin-Yang philosophy of balance and harmony in the cosmos. After celebrations, we’ll enjoy longer, brighter days bursting with radiant energy!

As always, there will be good food and great fun. We’re having traditional Chinese food, and for those of you who are 21+, a cash bar.

The deadline to fill out the application will be Friday, October 8th! Then families will be matched up and emails will be sent letting you know who’s in your families. Here’s the link to the application:

https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&pli=1&formkey=dEd2Z2JROFNneUY0ZzFFLWZqZERzQ1E6MQ#gid=0

Once again here’s what the program’s all about:
Our Big/Little Program is an excellent way for freshman to get to know some of the old farts on campus who might be able to give you a few pointers to help you out at Cornell and to make the most out of your college experience. Your families are there to help with course work, to talk to, and to have fun with. There will be family competitions throughout the year with a GRAND PRIZE for the winning family. A family will consist of two co-Bigs and 2-4 Littles. These family ties often lead to lasting friendships and lots of fun. Fill out the form now and get ready to have a great time with your awesome CSA families! Please be sure you’re a CSA member before you get matched up

We’re a little short-handed this year, and are looking for 4 people to fill the following positions:
1. Freshman Liaison
2. Transfer Liaison
3. Publicity Chair
4. Programming Chair

The Freshman and Transfer liaisons are crucial in CSA’s operations–we are one of the largest organizations on campus, and it is hard for us to connect with new students. Besides being very important in reaching out to the freshman and transfer Asian/Asian American community, these two liaisons are also very essential members of the CSA executive board!

The Publicity chair is in charge of creating the promotional material for CSA events (such as China Night, Mid-Autumn Festival, or our Semi-formal)–this includes quarter cards, posters, and Facebook events. Additionally, the publicity chair has the responsibility, like all executive board members, to weigh in on important decisions CSA has to make. We expect those who are interested in applying to have Photoshop or In Design experience. Please bring a mock up of a poster for an existing CSA event (email me atlz234@cornell.edu for more information) or for an event you may wish to see CSA put on at elections.

The Programming chair organizes intramural sports, volunteering opportunities, and political activities. The Programming chair has the opportunity to be involved through small-scale events as well as organize long-term and short-term volunteering for CSA. The Programming chair would be in charge of programming outside of those organized by the Social and Cultural chairs.

The application for the executive board is attached. Please email me at lz234@cornell.edu if you have any additional questions. The applications are due October 9th at midnight to Susanna Li at sl743@cornell.edu. The elections will be October 16th in Goldwin Smith Hall 162 from 10am-1pm.
