   USTCAF should continue its mission to support USTC financially and spiritually. On the top of that, it could make more efforts to build stronger alumni network and help the alumni succeed. I became a USTCAF member since 2003 for the purpose of serving the community. Currently I am a board member for USTCAA-SV. Since I believe that no organization will succeed if individuals in the organization are not successful, my objective is to help promote networking more within and outside the alumni community and possibly convert some of them to goal-oriented activities. If I am elected, I'll focus on improving communication and boosting career opportunities for our alumni.

    USTC had it's years of glory in the past. A growing and establishing network of alumni from those days could be a solid foundation that USTC can leverage to maintain it's excellence and continue to attract talents. AF has demonstrated that a strong alumni network can be beneficial for both USTC and its alumni. Besides financial donation, we can also contribute our expertise/projects in engineering or academic, by networking the alumni in engineering, faculty and entrepreneur fields, and by promoting alumni/industry cooperation with USTC and its entities.

    I have been working with other USTCers to organize some activities爐owards these goals, and would like to continue to work with other AFGB members and fellow alumni to contribute to the success of USTC and its alumni.

    When I was in USTC, I had many experiences in social activities. I had very happy memories of working for our fellow USTCers, then. After all these years, I still think it is a great privilege to be able to work for our Alma Mater and make it better. I would like to join the AF Board and get a more direct way to contribute to her again.

    I think, first of all, we should build a stronger AF so that we may have more choices to exert our influence to USTC and help those USTCers in need. To better help USTC, the most critical thing is for the AF to communicate effectively with the current administratives in USTC. We should understand the real needs in USTC and convey the concerns of all USTCers to the current administratives. We should use all means (not necessarily financial menas) to promote the healthy growth of USTC. To better serve USTCers, we should build a more closely connected vitual community globally. We should make AF a bridge or a platform for all USTCers to show their care for USTC and other USTCers.

    If I am honored to be elected, I will try my best to help AF to achieve the above goals.

Board-Elect Candidates

1. Xiaojun Jie, 揭晓军, 821, xiaojun.jie-at-gmail.com 1987, B.S., Computational Math., USTC.
   1990, M.S., Computer Science, Tianjin Computing Technology Research Institute.
   1994, M.S., Applied Math., Purdue University.
   1998, Ph.D., Applied Math., Purdue Unversity.

   As the president of USTC Alumni Association in Maryland between 2002 and 2004, I worked with other volunteers to setup the web server (thanks for the generous donation from 821 alumni Li Yanxiu) for website md.ustc.edu and organized local alumni gatherings. Currently we are working on offering the web hosting service to all local USTC alumni associations and classes. The long term goal is to make the site as a central depository of USTC alumni associations and to offer online management and other services for the AA's.

   I'm interested in being a board-elect member. Hopefully, through everybody's hard work, a network of fund raising platforms will be established as a result of closer relations between local alumni associations and the Alumni Fundation.
