介绍：哥伦比亚大学亚太发展协会(CUASIA)是由哥伦比亚大学学生和校友发起，于2007年初在哥伦比亚大学正式注册的一个非盈利性组织。协会的宗旨是促进包括美国在内的亚太地区人民与国家之间的交流，推动发展一个繁荣丶开放丶和平丶公正的亚太地区。协会的数千名成员中既有来自美国尤其是美东和大纽约地区各着名高校的学生学者，也有来自各世界五百强企业丶华尔街知名金融公司和国际组织的优秀职业经理人。总部坐落于世界金融传媒资本中心的纽约市使得协会得以充分利用这个独一无二的地缘优势，将来自于世界各地的学术和职业精英聚集起来，共同营造一个关注于亚太地区的经济丶社会丶法律丶文化和政治问题的国际新型社区。

Asia-Pacific Development Society (CUASIA) is a student organization affiliated with Columbia University. We devote ourselves to creating and building innovative international programs that facilitate the communication and exchange between the citizens in the United States and those in the Asia-Pacific region.
We are proud to be part of Columbia University , one of the world's leading institutions of higher learning. We draw on the University's many strengths － in the humanities, sciences, communications, engineering, education, business, and law － so as to add greatest depth and highest quality to our programs. Our location in New York City , the global center of international business, finance and culture, offers tremendous opportunities that further enrich our activities.
We also draw on the expertise from our diversified members that include students and scholars from the finest American universities such as Harvard, MIT, Princeton , Yale, Cornell, Stanford, and UC-Berkeley, as well as professionals from Fortune 500 companies, top financial firms on Wall Street, and major international organizations. Through forums, conferences, seminars as well as academic and culture exchange programs, we seek to strengthen the international community at Columbia University by focusing on economic, social, legal, cultural, and political issues. In the longer term, we hope to foster the development of a prosperous, open, and peaceful Asia-Pacific region.
