Established since 1949, New Asia College has been carrying the mission of our College Founders, with humanity as its basis, the College aimed to facilitate cultural exchanges between East and West, and to cultivate moral, intellectual and patriotic new generation. In the last decade, we advanced our mission in expanding many projects in promoting Chinese culture and nourishing students. We established a more solid foundation, however, our efforts were made with very limited resources.
In order to continue our education mission, we need to advance our resources, to sustain our development in the long run. The College established an Alumni Fundraising Task Force, which consists of alumni of different decades, to act as a strategical think tank. The members are alumni graduated from the 60s to the 00s, our college trustees are also included. The task force objectives are:
- To strengthen the relationship between alumni around the globe and the College; and also develop new networks
- To strengthen the sense of belongings of New Asians; to carry forward the New Asia Spirit together; to continue the emotional attachment of New Asians; and to nourish the next generation of New Asians
- To promote fundraising in order to obtain sustainable supports for college development
