Chinese Students Association finds new home

Feb. 04, 2010

The BUCSSA's growing needs have pushed them off-campus into their new office in the heart of downtown St. Catharines.
The Brock University Chinese Students and Scholars Association (BUCSSA) is one of Brock's largest clubs ratified under the Brock University Student Union (BUSU) and represents the Chinese students and scholars at Brock for either academic inquiries or social gatherings.
"So, basically, if you are a Chinese student or scholar at Brock or if you are interested in Chinese culture no matter which culture you are coming from, we are the people you will need," said Li Ye, a second-year Visual Arts major and Promotion Director of BUCSSA.
BUCSSA holds many events, offers a membership card and has lauched a Web site which all help introduce Chinese culture to the Niagara area and Brock, as well as connecting Chinese students to the community.
"In order to allow the members of [BUCSSA] get involved with the Canadian Society, in order to really help the Brock Chinese students, our association is offering a membership discount card," said Ye. "This card is cohesive to the hard work of all the executives in the association. Any student who holds the membership card can get a discount in over 10 stores in the Niagara Region."
On Nov. 21, BUCSSA officially christened their new office location in the pulsing epitaph of downtown St. Paul Street.
