In today’s frantic world, mental health is an area that is frequently ignored. This is especially true within the Asian student population. One of the reasons is that it’s effects are not immediately apparent. However, this does not mean that it is insignificant. Suicide (which is one of the symptoms of poor mental health) is the third largest health risk within the Asian student community. And yet, we see a paucity of mental health resources for this population. We hope to remedy this. In collaboration with the Mental Health Program at Midwest Asian Health Association (MAHA), Northwestern University Chinese Students and Scholars Association (NU CSSA), Dr. Daolong will hold a mental health workshop to raise awareness on the importance of good mental health. It will consists of a short presentation, followed by a Q&A session where Dr. Daolong will answer any questions and concerns you may have. Hope to see you there!
We will hold a meeting, open to the public. On the meeting, everyone can address inquiries to each expense. We will prepare the receipts and descriptions for every item.
In the meantime, 2012-2013 CSSA board will meet with the public. Come to meet the new president, and more important, if you want to join CSSA and serve for the Chinese community, this will be a great opportunity.
Food and drink will be provided. You don't need to register this event to attend. But we would be appreciated if you can fill out the right form, so that we can make a head-count.
Games will be followed after the meeting.

Forwarded message from the Greater China Business Conference 2012. For more information and registration please click here>>
May 18-19, 2012, Friday-Saturday Kellogg School of Management James L. Allen Center, Evanston, IL
The Organizing Committee of the Kellogg Greater China Business Conference cordially invites you to join us for the 2012 conference, to be held on May 18-19, 2012.
After experiencing almost 30 years of impressive economic development with its markets expanding and growing during some of the western world's most troubled economic times, China has become one of the most important players in the global economy.
For China to continue its rise, however, it must adapt. The political, economic, and social factors within China are constantly changing, in part in reaction to developments on the global stage. While recognizing the enormous potential of what China has to offer, companies may not fully grasp the unique characteristics of the Chinese market or be able to adequately anticipate future trends. The theme, “China: Navigating the Waves of Transformation”, captures how this year’s conference will provide insights into the underlying forces that are shaping the Chinese market and how organizations can achieve maximum financial and social impact. We hope to offer intellectually stimulating dialogues to our audience and leave you with actionable strategies and insights to navigate the business environment in the Greater China Region.
This year we will host Sanjay Khosla, President of Kraft International Commercial at Kraft Foods; David Roman, Chief Marketing Officer of Lenovo; and Jeff Schwartz, Chairman of Global Logistics Properties as keynote speakers on Saturday, May 19th. On the afternoon of May 18th, we will hold a special session on foreign direct investment from China featuring a keynote speech by Robert Lee Holden, former governor of Missouri and Chairman of the US Midwest China Association.
We look forward to meeting you at the conference!
Best Regards, Matt Ce Yang, Nan Hu, Yvette Ying Zhang Overall Co-Chairs of the 2012 Kellogg Greater China Business Conference Organizing Committee

Ashish Basuray is a warm-hearted native speaker wants to share his free time, and to help the Chinese students to learn English for free!
If you want to join us, please fill out the form on the left.
Thanks,
A mini-biography of Ashish Basuray
My name is Ashish Basuray. I was born in the Midwest, and moved shortly thereafter to East Coast where I spent most of my childhood. During high school, I caught the travel bug – traveling with my high school to Russia and Ukraine, and London. I went on to Carnegie Mellon University for my undergraduate education, graduating with a BS in Chemistry. I was then accepted into the United States Peace Corps, and after a brief research stint at NIH, left for Nepal in 2003. I served as a Science Laboratory Instructor while in the Peace Corps, helping development science curriculum and building science laboratories. Upon returning stateside, I went into corporate management consulting for several years before returning to academia to receive my PhD in Chemistry at Northwestern University with Sir Fraser Stoddart.
Because of my experiences working with different cultures, I am cognizant that English is a very difficult language. You may be the most elegant speaker in your home country, but find it very difficult to communicate simple concepts in English to your labmates or co-workers. Because I have seen so many brilliant people, especially from China, not able to express themselves effectively, I would like to give back to your community my native English skills.
I will be holding several sessions over the coming quarter, and encourage anyone who would like to learn more about 1) conversational English, 2) writing with proper grammatical structure, and 3) scientific writing / discussions to join my tutoring sessions.
I look forward to working with you, and hope you find this activity as rewarding as I find volunteering my services.
Sincerely,
Ashish Basuray
