Dear CESASC Members, Friends and Students,
On behalf of the Chinese-American Engineers and Scientists Association of Southern California (CESASC) Scholarship Committee, I would like to inform you that the 2018 CESASC Scholarship is open for application. The deadline is February 15, 2018.
CESASC is one of the largest and the most established Chinese-American professional organizations in Southern California. Founded in 1962, CESASC has been dedicated to promote interests, aspirations, and professional excellence of Chinese-American engineers and scientists. CESASC provides career and educational advancement opportunities, technical exchange, fellowship and community service. In particular, CESASC offers annual scholarships to encourage young students to develop their interests and pursue their careers in the fields of science, engineering, and technology.
All scholarship recipients will be invited to the CESASC Annual Convention and network with professionals in the fields. Graduate student recipients may also be invited to present their research work at the CESASC Annual Convention. Each scholarship recipient will be paired up with a mentor who is a CESASC member.
In the past eight years, CESASC gave away more than $70,000 in scholarships awarded to more than eighty excellent students. The 2018 Scholarship application form and FAQ files are attached for your convenience. More information and updates about CESASC and the Scholarship can be found at www.cesasc.org. All applications should be submitted online at http://cesasc.org/content/2018-cesasc-scholarship-application or via email to scholarship@cesasc.org.
The awardees will be announced at the end of March, 2018. Awardees must attend in person the annual convention events to receive the awards. Awardees are also required to join CESASC as a member, commit themselves to volunteer at CESASC STEM program (e.g., mentoring middle/high school participants of STEM essay contest), and help organizing future CESASC events and annual conventions. Regardless of the final results, we encourage all applicants stay involved and participate in future CESASC activities, and be part of CESASC family.
Please help us notify your fellow students about this opportunity. We look forward to hearing from all of you.

The Good Child: Moral Development in a Chinese Preschool
Thursday, January 18, 2017
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
Bunche Hall 10383
Talk by Jing Xu, University of Washington/Washington University in St. Louis
Based on 12-month fieldwork in Shanghai that integrates ethnography and experiment, this talk examines Chinese preschool-kindergarten children’s moral education and development. Chinese academic traditions take zuo ren—self-fulfillment in terms of moral cultivation—as the ultimate goal of education. To many in contemporary China, however, the nation seems gripped by anxiety of moral decay during China’s social transformations. Placing Chinese children, alternately seen as China''s greatest hope and derided as self-centered "little emperors," at the center of its analysis, this talk traces how Chinese socialization beliefs and methods influence young children’s construction of a moral world. In particular, it investigates young children’s sharing behavior as part of a larger educational project for cultivating “the good child,” a project that is both grounded in historical foundations of moral cultivation and shaped by new educational anxieties in China. The combination of anthropological and psychological theories and methods illuminates how cultural forces mediate the development of morality at its earliest stage.
Jing Xu is an anthropologist affiliated with the University of Washington (Seattle) and Washington University in St. Louis. She received her Ph.D. in Anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis in 2014. She received her M.A. in Sociology and B.A. in Journalism from Tsinghua University, China. Situated at the intersection between anthropology, psychology, and Chinese studies, she has broad interests in moral development, child-rearing and cultural transmission in contemporary China as well as cross-cultural comparative contexts.
Specifically, her dissertation research in anthropology combined ethnographic and experimental methods to examine Chinese children’s moral life under the one-child policy and China’s socio-moral transformations. Her postdoctoral research in developmental psychology at the University of Washington used lab-based experiments to investigate prosocial development in infancy and early childhood. She has published a monograph, The Good Child: Moral Development in a Chinese Preschool, and peer-reviewed articles in both anthropology and psychology journals. Currently she is working on a new project on child-rearing, parental anxiety and children’s psycho-social wellbeing in Chinese families.

On Wednesday, Gov. Jerry Brown released his 2018-19 budget proposal, which continues to invest in the California Community Colleges in alignment with the system’s Vision for Success. Of particular note is the shared commitment by the governor and Board of Governors to better serve working adults. To that end, the governor is moving forward with a fully online community college that would operate under a new college district administered by the Chancellor’s Office.
Too many Californians find themselves economically and educationally stranded in today’s economy.
By 2020, 65 percent of jobs in the U.S. will require a college credential, according to estimates by the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce. Artificial intelligence, the rise of the gig economy and automation are changing the future of work and the skillsets needed to succeed. There are 2.5 million adults in the prime working ages of 25 to 34 who have only a high school diploma or some college but no degree. The vast majority are working and cannot access our traditional college programs.
The California Community Colleges will lead the way for these working learners with a fully online college to provide skills and credentials they need to improve their social and economic mobility and move our state forward. This new, competency-based online college will be unlike any other public online education platform and will focus predominately on sub-associate degree credentials of value tailored to the needs of this population.
The online college will not compete for students already being served by community colleges because these working learners cannot and do not access our traditional college programs.
Gov. Brown summed it up nicely: "This is targeted to several million people who could upgrade their skills by taking online courses and maintaining their employment, which they really need.”
The governor is showing true leadership and tremendous confidence in our system, and we will fully commit to seeing this approach help more working Californians succeed in this economy. A broad coalition made up of representatives of organized labor, employer groups, educators as well as public policy and social justice organizations has already come out in public support of this approach.
We are also heartened to see the governor propose $46 million to fund legislation from last year to support first-time, full-time students through the California College Promise. If approved, these funds would be distributed to community college districts that satisfy program requirements. The California College Promise, with its component state and local support structures, are strengthening the college-going culture across our state.
The governor also is proposing important changes to the way community colleges in California are funded overall, with a greater focus on student outcomes and more flexibility for colleges.
Finally, I would like to touch on a decision made earlier this week by a federal district court in California granting an injunction against the Trump administration’s rescission of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. DACA allows individuals who were brought into the United States without documentation as children to remain in the United States, to work, and to get an education and receive financial aid.

Today CDRH is releasing its 2018-2020 Strategic Priorities. Our measure of success is that by December 31, 2020, more than 50 percent of manufacturers of novel technologies for the U.S. market intend to bring their devices to the U.S. first or in parallel with other major markets. We seek to achieve this goal through the systematic application of the following three approaches:
• Employee Engagement, Opportunity, and Success
• Simplicity
• Collaborative Communities
In using these approaches we will continue to work and build on our 2016-2017 Strategic Priorities, such establishing the National Evaluation System for health Technology (NEST) and partnering with patients. Along with the release of our 2018-2020 Strategic Priorities, we are providing an update on our 2016-2017 Strategic Priorities, for which we have met or exceeded all of our goals. Already we are seeing the impact of our investments in accomplishing these priorities. For example, in calendar year 2017, CDRH approved the largest number of medical devices in the history of the program – 95 – continuing an almost annual increase in novel device approvals since 2009.
As always, we cannot reach these goals without collaboration and support from our customers. We look forward to working with you to achieve the objectives of these Strategic Priorities and, ultimately, our vision. |
