Society for Sino-American Studies

The Society for Sino-American Studies (SSAS) is a student organization focused on exploring Asian cultures while promoting awareness on campus through social and educational events. 

SSAS was originally founded to assist students interested in China to attend Harvard’s annual HPAIR conference. There, they participated in a number of sessions with topics such as international relations and business. Before the conference, the students have the opportunity to visit many fabulous Chinese treasures.

Locally, this organization sponsors events such as the annual Mid-Autumn (Moon) Festival, Chinese New Year, Asia Fest, and weekly Chinese Language Tables. Weekly meetings allow members to share their personal cultural experiences , discuss current issues relating to Asia and Asia-U.S relations, and explore various aspects of Asian culture.

Founded in 2004, this organization has room to grow. Come join us, and together we will
