Ten Ambassadors Appointed
Alumni Affairs announces the launch of our new-look China Alumni Chapter (CAC). The CAC is an important development for Alumni Affairs, for our goal of creating a global student and alumni community. The CAC is special and unique because it is borderless, using our online community portal, Rapport (www.alumnirapport.com), to connect everyone.
Membership of the Chapter is open to all current and former students, graduates and all former postdoctoral fellows from China, living anywhere in the world. Chapter membership and ambassadorial roles can also be held by alumni of any nationality, who either live (or have lived), studied, researched or worked in China.
