Just when we thought we were done saying Happy New year, the Imlek/Chinese New Year is here :) On behalf of the AUSCI committee, we would like to wish everyone who celebrates the Rabbit New Year a most healthy and happy year ahead. For everyone else, let's share the joy in this melting pot that is AUSCI.
AUSCI just hosted a wonderful get-together with US Ambassador Marciel on 18 January, and for those that missed the event, I am pleased to share with you that AUSCI is getting ready to host a number of major programs for 2011. Some of the programs being considered are:
- AUSCI birthday bash April 2, 2011
- Launching the new AUSCI membership card , a visa platinum card in cooperation with BNI
- 5 k - Walk for Charity / Bike for Charity / Golf for Charity
- Big Reunion
INVITATION For YOU
The AUSCI committee will have our first meeting this year:
Wednesday, 9 February 2011, at 5:30pm
in Sudirman area.
We would like to INVITE alumni who would like to become new committee members, to join this meeting. As an organization, it is important for us to have regeneration, and we would like to invite future leaders of AUSCI to step up, and possibly herald our alumni association to greater heights. Please contact our club's admin officer Novita, for venue of the meeting.

In the meantime, our "Cerdas Bang!" library-building program (www.ausci.org/cerdasbang) continues, and we seem to be on track to reach our goal of 50 libraries by 2015. More than anything else, we need YOUR valuable time and participation. Let's work TOGETHER to live up to our alumni association's motto = "The Network of Excellence, for Indonesia and Beyond!"
In the mean time, we have also received some great updates from the USC Marshall, on successfully launching the 2011 MISIP internship program back in our LA campus. The program has received 36 applications from Marshall students who are very enthusiastic to begin their internship program in Indonesia.
We would welcome you and your companies (firms) to participate in MISIP as the acting company hosts for these interns. Dr. Richard Drobnick , the appointed Director of MISIP program, and/or Novita in Jakarta, can be contacted for any queries or interests you may have on MISIP (Click on MISIP down below for more details).
May our coming days be always blessed, healthy, and happy.
GONG XI FATCHAI to ALL!
Fight On!
