 Dear Friends and 
    Alumni of Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), 

 Have you ever wondered where your old friends are and how is your Alma Mater
 doing in her efforts to becoming a world-class university? 

 In recent years, hundreds, if not thousands, of HUST alumni have come to 
 North America as students or scholars. Many of them have obtained academic 
 degrees and more are expected to graduate in the next few years.
 Some of them have been very successful in their professions and others
 are working hard toward achieving their personal and career goals. We are all
 doing our best to contribute to the betterment of the planet on which we live.

 On many an occasion, one may find coincidentally that a ground-breaking
 or history-making "big guy" used to be one's classmate whom one should be 
 proud of, or that a little brother/sister struggling to survive was once 
 one's roommate whom one should lend hands to!
 
 Our Alma Mater has undergone dramatic changes during the recent years.
 New departments, new buildings, and new professors keep coming to the
 HUST campus. The new wave of reforms and opennings beholds many promises and
 opportunities. We may find a new research project in HUST that  
 might help in our profession or we may make a constructive suggestion
 to our university by utilizing our professional knowledge, our experiences 
 obtained in a different society and the advantages offered by academia, 
 sciences and technology in North America.  
 
 Let us get together and form our own association to generate new energies
 and resources. With collective efforts, we can make a big difference.

 The following is the first draft of the constitution (or by-laws) of the HUST
 Alumni Association being established. The establishment of a HUST Alumni
 Association in North-America was jointly initiated by a number a husters (see
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 below) and the HUST authorities in Wuhan and thereforth fully endorsed by HUST
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 authorities. Please send your suggestions and ideas to:
