 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. Please send your suggestions and ideas
 to: 
	hust@huanghe.unl.edu
 

 NAME OF THE ORGANIZATION
 ========================
    HUST ALUMNI ASSOCIATION in NORTH-AMERICA 
    or HUAAN for short

 HUST stands for Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China.
 
 NATURE OF THE ASSOCIATION
 =========================
 HUAAN is a non-profit, non-political, mutual-aid and independent organization
 for those who are HUST graduates, former staff members, or individuls having 
 had relationship with or interest in HUST and who are currently in U.S.A.  or 
 Canada. 
 
 It was formed in Janurary, 1993 by a group of HUST graduates for upholding 
 the common interests of HUST alumni in North America.

 The main purpose of the Association is to promote friendship, social 
 interactions, mutual-aid and cooperations among its members, and to promote 
 close connections between NAHUAA members and their Alma Mater, HUST.
 
 PURPOSES OF ESTABLISHING HUAAN 
 ==============================
 
      The HUAAN  has two main purposes: 

      1) To promote friendship, social interactions, mutual-aid and cooperation
 among its members in North America, and, with its collective power, to seek and
 create more opportunities for our own development in professional, business and
 other career goals; 

      2) To promote close connections between the Huazhong Univerisity of 
 Science and Technology and HUAAN members. 
 
 OPERATIONAL PRINCIPLES
 ==============================
 
      HUAAN maintains its independence and promotes rational,
 practical and cooperative spirit.  HUAAN holds dear to the principle of
 friendship, mutual-respect, mutual-aid, and mutual-benefits among its members.
