Chinese Students Club
The Chinese Students Club, commonly known as CSC, is one of the largest cultural groups on campus. It is a student organization dedicated to promoting Chinese culture and identity to the Columbia and Barnard communities through events from social mixers to political forums. It is notorious for holding Lunar Gala, a huge Chinese culture/fashion show, being one of the largest student productions on campus, as well as Night Market, a large festival on Low Plaza, and one of the biggest undergraduate events of the fall. Its other annual events include: Intercultural Benefit Dinner, Semi-formal, and Rice Bowl.
The organization also maintains six satellite groups: CSC Connect (a peer mentoring program), English Tutoring (a community program for Chinese immigrants), Radiance (Chinese dance), Lion Dance Troupe, Chinese Yo-Yo, and the Chinese Conversation Group. The organization serves as the umbrella group for these related clubs.
The Chinese Students Club is run by a 25-member board as well as a general body. The board consists of the Executive Board (President, VP CC/SEAS, VP Barnard, Secretary, Treasurer), Executive Committee Members (ECMs), and Organizational Committee Members (OCMs). The board recruits students to be OCMs early in the fall.
