This programme is sponsored by Professional & Educational Services Ltd (PESI)[1] and is carried out under the leadership of both Student Department of School Committee of Communist Party and School Committee of Youth League.
Every spring, Siyuan will recruit its new members from freshmen; those elected are out-standing students with different major backgrounds.
Once admitted, these students will have the chance to be trained at social work, to perceive the situation of the country and to cultivate a global horizon.
The initiator of Siyuan Programme is Doctor QIAN Bingyi, who is now the director of Professional Education Systems Institute (PESI), which is a Non-Profit organization of people united by Chinese-North in California, founded in 1988.
The organization works for promoting the education and profession exchange between North America and Asia.
Another initiator is Mr. ZHU Weiren(Sandy Chau), who is both a successful entrepreneur in the IT industry and a kind Philanthropist.
The current version of the plan contains two main aspects: summer practice and training during the semesters.
During the three years at school, there are also three themes: “Team Work”, “Volunteerism and Organizing Skills” and “Leadership Training”.
There are 5 subgroups in charge of Contact & Investigation, Propaganda & Planning, Inner Quality Expanding, Networks & Websites, Internal Liaison and Recruiting separately.
Inner Quality Expanding Group searches for information of lectures, exhibitions and performances.
Then they organize Siyuaners in different grades to attend these activities, which not only edifies their minds but also facilitates communications.
Internal Liaison Group organizes literature and sport activities regularly to build up relations between Siyuaners, which include some favorite and popular ones, such as football games and Kara OK.
