Mail from the audience
Dear Mr.Wang,
I am a sophomore in Physics Department of Shandong University now. I
live in Jinan.
I entered Internet three weeks ago. I found "Silicon Valley Shandong
University Alumni Association" just now. I was very excited when I watched
these wonderful pages which were established by you. It is surprising there
are so many alumni abroad.
I suppose that there are few undergraduates of Shanda have the
opportunity to communicate with SSUAA. I want to make friends with all of
you. I can't use Internet skillfully, so I want you to help me inform others
if they want to know some information about today's Shanda, just write a
E-mail to me.
Sincerely yours,
Alumnus Chen, Dongmin('77 Optics) just came back from a trip to Shanda campus at Jinan, China.
Chen was warmly received by the university, in particular by the Shanda Alumni Office. He met briefly with president Pan and had a three hour meeting with secretary Zhi-an Chen and vice president Qinqian Liu. They discussed the possibility of the establishment of a global overseas Shanda Alumni Association.
According to Chen, the university strongly support the official establishment of such an association and encourage a close tie between the association and the university. Details are yet to be disclosed.
Just one and half months after the SSUAA was extablished, its members came together
again to celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival.
More than thirty people(including family members)showed up. Among the SSUAA members, there were some new faces, indicating the association is growing rapidly.
There were a lot of foods, drinks and even moon cakes. There were also valley ball games. Every one had a great time talking and playing. The party didn't end until after 5pm. It was all FUN, FUN, FUN!

Silicon Valley Shandong University Alumni Association was established on August 10, 1996 in San Jose, California. Jian-qing Wang (EE '77) was elected as the first president. (Click here to see the picture.)
The association plans to organize at least two all-hands gatherings every year, one in August and the other before Chinese New Year.
Tasks on the president's agenda include promoting information exchange with alma mater, locating more alumni in the Silicon Valley, creating an association web page, etc.
The association can be reached at
