KCCAA Education Seminar – Successful College Application

新形势下如何成功申请大学

自 从2000年开始,美国各个大学的招生录取对标准考试和成绩要求有了较大的变化。许多大学取消了递交SAT/ACT成绩的要求。美国最权威的教育考试机构—College Board 也相应地取消了所有SAT-Subject科目的考试。不久前一些州开始考虑取消或已经取消了中小学的超前教育。所有这些变化将对美国的中小学教育,尤其是每位高中学生申请大学带来不可忽视的影响。

KCCAA将于5月29日7:00-9:00 PM举办一场研讨会《如何在新形势成功申请大学》。我们邀请了当地两位优秀家长,请她们介绍在指导孩子申请大学过程中的经验和体会。这两位家长分别为:

刘丽萍女士——刘女士的2个孩子在高中时各方面都很突出,成绩优异。大儿子几年前被被美国顶尖大学录取,在大学本科就获得学士和硕士双学位。小儿子非常优秀,在标准考试(PSAT,SAT,ACT)中均获满分,多门AP-课程考试也获最高分。今年被美国顶尖学校录取。

吴天玲女士——-吴女士的孩子在各方面非常优秀。女儿两年前被美国顶尖工学院提前录取。儿子在高中期间参加各种活动,选修了17门AP-课程,并保持优异的学习成绩,ACT考试获满分,在去年底被美国顶尖商学院提前录取。

随后,研讨会组织者朱大鸣教授将讲述美国大学招生录取要求的变化可能产生的效应以及给高中毕业生家长们的一些建议。

最后,参与者自由提问与解答或发表自己的见解。

我们希望通过这次研讨会使我们华人社区继续保持重视家庭,重视教育的优良传统;继续为我们的孩子争取和创建积极向上的学习风气和环境。

The Tenth KCCAA Community Service Award

In 2010, the Kansas City Chinese American Association (KCCAA) established an annual KCCAA Community Service Award to encourage primary and secondary school students in the greater Kansas City area to develop stronger awareness of public service and to participate actively in community service. In the past several years we have seen an increasing number of young students engaging in volunteer work, particularly under the leadership of KCCAA Youth Hope Fund. More and more of our young people have come to understand the personal satisfaction of helping others. In order to honor the unselfish efforts of these young people and, in hopes of encouraging others to follow their examples, KCCAA will offer recognition to some of the most outstanding efforts by the young people in our community to help others. There will be three level of recognitions, one first place, two second places, and three third places, evaluated based on the criteria below. To emphasize the intrinsic rewards of community service, the awardees will be given plaques, scholarships, and will be honored on stage at KCCAA’s Chinese New Year Gala.

This award may be offered to any primary or secondary school student in the greater Kansas City area and any qualified student may apply.

Requirements: an applicant must –

1. Be an elementary or secondary school student (grades 1 through 12).

2. Have participated in some form of voluntary work or community service (without compensation) during the past year.

Evaluation criteria for awards:

· Service activities that emphasize service to others in need will be valued over experiences that are designed primarily as learning experiences for the student. Quantity of hours of service will not necessarily be more highly valued than quality but consistent patterns of service to others will be valued by the judges.

· Initiative and (age-appropriate) leadership and organization in group efforts to serve others will also be noted. Fundraising activities to benefit others will be viewed as worthwhile, but (age-appropriate) direct service to others may, in some cases, may be viewed as having more enduring significance for the student applicants.

Application procedures: Submit an application letter by email to kccaa.award@gmail.com by January 13, 2020.

The application letter shall include the student’s name, school, and contact information for school; a list of the student’s community service experiences during 2019, with a description of each community service experience. The student shall also submit a one page essay to describe …

Time flies! It’s near the end of the year again.

Once again, KCCAA has started the rally to watch the Spring Festival Gala and celebrate the New Year.

First vice president, Ms. Chunyan Qiu
The current president, Mr. Che Fei
The chairman and former president, Mr. Rong Lei.

十多年来,春燕女士一直致力于春晚的各项准备工作,尤其是负责设计春晚当天所有庆典活动的各个会场的布置;准备装饰材料,并管理组织人员将其在各会场安排妥当。自2016年起,春燕女士连续担纲春晚总导演。

For more than ten years, Ms. Qiu has been devoted to various preparations for the Spring Festival Gala, especially responsible for designing the layout of all the venues for the celebrations on the day of the Spring Festival Gala, preparing decorative materials, and managing the organization staff to arrange them properly in each venue. Since 2016, Ms. Qiu has been the director of the Spring Festival Evening
