                    Call for Proposals and Suggestions

Dear Chinese Students and Scholars:

During the past five years, IFCSS as a national organization has
gained tremendous strength and resourcefulness, thanks to the
grassroots participation and support it has been able to
generate.  Within the framework of IFCSS operation, various
working committees and task forces have been working on promoting
the democracy and human rights in China, on promoting dialogue
and exchange with the government, civil society and many academic
institutions in China, on advocating the importance of education,
on protecting and advancing the rights and interests and on
serving the needs of Chinese students and scholars (CSS) in the
U.S.. 

In this new academic year, we will endeavor to enlarge and expand
the base in which we are rooted, the CSS community, among whom we
will no doubt find the most creative architects/engineers for the
future of our organization.  In light of this, we would like you
to submit proposals for projects that may provide benefit and
needed services to our community, strengthen IFCSS's role in
promoting China's development and reform, establish better
connection and collaboration between IFCSS and other
organizations in the Chinese community, etc.  In your proposal,
please discuss in some details the feasibility of your plan and
specify how you intend to implement it and utilize the budget you
request, if any.  Due to the limited financial resources of
IFCSS, we would like to invite in particular the proposals for
those projects which could sustain themselves financially in the
long run.
 
In addition to the projects to be directed by IFCSS, we would
also like to invite your suggestions on what IFCSS could do to
assist and coordinate the projects and activities of Chinese
student associations at campuses and organizations in Chinese
community, for IFCSS could not be strong and healthy without an
active and coherent community at the grassroots level.

We will always appreciate your support and active involvement in
IFCSS, and we look forward to your sharing of your talent and
imagination with us.

Please send in your proposal by e-mail, postal service or fax
following the direction provided below.

Luo Ning, President, IFCSS
Liu Chengyan, Vice President, IFCSS
