2008 Beijing Tsinghua Spring Picnic – a tradition since 1994
The idea of grouping alumni from Beijing Tsinghua in the Silicon Valley can be traced as early as 1994. A small group of Beijing Tsinghua alumni with their friends and family gathered in Baylands Park started the fire that has united the alumni of Beijing Tsinghua University every since. The next year (1995), more than 150 Beijing Tsinghua Alumni and their families showed up at the spring picnic. Witnessed the success of the event, organizers decided to make the spring picnic a tradition for the Tsinghua alumni in the Bay Area. Held every year in late April, around the same time of the anniversary celebration of our Alma Mater, Tsinghua University in Beijing . The spring picnic has since become a tradition for alumni in the Silicon Valley to reunite with friends from the school days and to make connections with new ones. It is a day of sunshine, friendship and delicious food.
Mark your calendar, 4/26/2008 is our picnic day. There have been hundreds of Beijing Tsinghua alumni coming to the event each year. Bring your family, meet your friends, your classmates, and enjoy good food and cheer for your favorite team at the Tsinghua Cup Volleyball Tournament and Tug of War Tournament (see below details).
