Organizational Beliefs

Since its establishment in 1998, the Emory Chinese Student Association has upheld its core mission of serving Chinese students and fostering cultural exchange. Over the years, it has grown into one of the largest and most structurally complete Chinese student organizations at Emory University.

We are committed to providing support and platforms across various domains—including cultural heritage, career development, academic exchange, and campus life—while fostering a community atmosphere of mutual assistance and collective growth.

As the most influential and comprehensive Chinese student organization at Emory, ECSA remains devoted to its mission of serving students, preserving cultural traditions, and facilitating personal and communal development. It seeks to build a solid bridge for mutual understanding and trust between Chinese and American cultures.

自1998年成立以来，埃默里大学中国学生会始终秉持服务中国学生、促进文化交流的核心使命。多年来，ECSA 不断发展壮大，已成为埃默里大学规模最大、组织体系最完善的中国学生社团之一。

我们致力于在文化传承、职业发展、学术交流与校园生活等多个领域为同学们提供支持与平台，营造互助互信、共同成长的社群氛围。

作为埃默里大学最具影响力与代表性的中国学生组织，ECSA 始终坚守“服务学生、弘扬文化、促进发展”的宗旨，致力于搭建中美文化相互理解与信任的坚实桥梁。

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

While the Emory Chinese Student Association primarily serves Chinese students and students of Chinese heritage, as a Recognized Student Organization (RSO) at Emory University, it upholds the core values of diversity, inclusion, and equality. We welcome the participation of full-time students from all backgrounds, and we are fully committed to the following anti-discrimination principles within the organization and in all external events:

The Association shall not discriminate in its recruitment, event planning, or daily operations on the basis of race, color, religion, ethnicity or national origin, sex, genetic information, age, physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or veteran status.

The Emory Chinese Student Association fully supports and complies with the Revised Executive Order 11246, Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act, and all other applicable federal and state equal opportunity and anti-discrimination laws and policies.

尽管埃默里大学中国学生会主要面向中国学生及具有中国背景的学生群体提供服务，但作为埃默里大学的官方注册学生组织（Recognized Student Organization, RSO），我们始终秉持多元、包容与平等的核心价值观。ECSA 欢迎来自不同文化与背景的全日制学生参与，并郑重承诺在组织内部及对外活动中，全面遵守以下反歧视原则：
