Awareness of Roots in Chinese Culture Budget
FY2014 (July 1, 2013 - June 30, 2014)
ARCC stands for Awareness of Roots in Chinese Culture Organization. Our goal is to increase awareness of Chinese culture on the CMU campus by sponsoring open events such as the Mid Autumn Festival, Night Market and Chinese New Year. In the past years, ARCC has contributed to the CMU campus in many ways. Since its recognition in 1998, it has held an event almost every month to expose the CMU campus to the many facets the Chinese culture has to offer. We structure the events to appeal to those who already know about their culture as well as for those who find the Chinese culture fascinating. Both non-members and members have benefited from ARCC. For example, in our highly successful Night Market Event, we had over 11 Asian student associations participate, while hundreds of other students and faculty attended. In addition, many of the events we hold are in public areas in which the admission is not charged. We hope that you will come and visit us at our events and consider the benefits of our membership. If you have any questions, feel free to contact any of our officers.
