The fellowship activity “Meeting of OSA Student Chapters in East China, 2011” was carried out in Center for Optical and Electromagnetic Research (COER), the Department of Optical Engineering, Zhejiang University (ZJU) on July 10th.
The OSA student chapter from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Shanghai Institute of Optics and Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, visited COER. The visitors were introduced the main equipments in the clean room as well as our research fields and achievements by Mr. Pengxin Chen, a graduate student and guided to visit the optical communication laboratory, the fiber grating laboratory and so on. After that, the attendees watched a video about the development and honors of COER in the past 10 years. Three chapter leaders also introduced the basic situation of their chapters respectively. During the free discussion time, the members shared their ideas and research interests, hoping to find some points to make cooperation. In the end, the attendees exchanged their telephone numbers and emails. The whole activity was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
This fellowship activity, supported by the general headquarters of OSA in the USA was organized by the OSA student chapter from ZJU, to serve as a way of communication and cooperation among members of OSA student chapters in East China. This was the first activity organized by ZJU OSA student chapter, making attendees open their minds and promote mutual friendship. It also provided opportunity for future cooperation. Members and some nonmembers took actively parts in this activity, which was quite in agreement with the aim of the OSA student chapter, that is, “to serve for you”. From now on, the ZJU OSA student chapter will serve for the members just as in the past and will run better and better to show ourselves as well as COER to the world.
