Director of the Development Department of Peking University Education

Foundation (PKUEF) to all of us.

Best regards,

Dear alumni,

I have been the Director of the Development Department

of Peking University Education Foundation (PKUEF) for

several years. I was happy to meet many Peking

University alumni in the US between March and May 2001

when I was part of the Peking University Education

Foundation delegation led by Peking University

President Xu Zhihong and Former Peking University

President and Chairman of Board of PKUEF-USA Chen

Jiaer. We successfully started the operation of

PKUEF-USA after the visit.

Now I accepted a long-term assignment from Peking

University to lead the operation of PKUEF-USA starting

from April this year. My office is in Millbrae,

California near San Francisco. You may reach me by

e-mail pkuef2002@yahoo.com or phone/fax 650-259-9883.

With the direct guidance of the Chairman and President

of PKUEF-USA, I set my main goal for 2002 to reaching

out to as many alumni as possible. I have already

talked all the presidents of Peking University Alumni

Associations in many cities in the US and received

tremendous support from them.

In order to establish the communication to alumni, I

set up following work plan. I am looking forward to

your advice and support.

1. I am working on to create a regular newsletter

containing Peking University news, US alumni news,

alumni interviews, and alumni association activities

in the US. The newsletter will be in printed format

containing both Chinese and English articles. I will

seek a lot of support from all of you in collecting

material, editing, printing, and distributing the

newsletters.

2. I wish to mail the newsletters to hundreds and

thousands of alumni in the US. Considering the fact

that there may be as many as 20,000 Peking University

alumni residing in the US, maintaining alumni data is

a labor-intensive work. With limited human resources

currently available to such a job, a computer-based

system is required for technical assistance. With some

alumni's help, two system requirement documents

"ADS_details.doc" and "Request_for_Proposal.doc"

are completed and are available at

"http://pku.org/document/Word/". I invite alumni and

friends who are in IT business to provide technical

proposals to me by August 15, 2002 to

pkuef2002@yahoo.com. I will invite some

well-established IT system professionals to evaluate

the submitted proposals and assign the system

implementation project to the winner.

Please be free to e-mail me or call me. I am here to

work for you and connect you to our Alma Mater.

Sincerely,

Zheng Xu
