BYU Chinese Students and Scholars Association
President
After being elected as the President of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association, I strategically analyzed students’ feedback and data to measure the success of our events and social media campaigns. The result? A phenomenal 20% increase in event attendance and a remarkable 30% boost in social media engagement. I also initiated a social media management project from scratch, amassing a highly engaged following of 700+ users. Moreover, I successfully organized and executed various large-scale events, including the Chinese BYU New Year Gala and Chinese Cultural Festival, which celebrated Chinese culture and fostered a sense of community among participants.

As the BYUCSSA President, my goal was to empower and support Chinese students in their journey to apply for BYU, establish a Teaching English Program, and foster a sense of unity among the community. Through these initiatives, I aimed to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all Chinese students, helping them thrive academically and socially at BYU.

I spearheaded a dynamic leadership team, adeptly leading meetings, networking with professors, and attending professional events. Collaborating with other schools, I excelled in project management and implemented initiatives that enriched the experiences of Chinese students, fostering a strong and vibrant community.
my process
With a focus on efficient processes, I built a streamlined management tool to effectively delegate tasks and track progress, setting up regular meetings with each member to ensure alignment and productive communication. By keeping everyone on the right track, I fostered a collaborative environment that optimized productivity and achieved our goals.
