Activity Review
LSESU CSSA hosts a vibrant array of activities throughout the academic year, fostering a lively and supportive community among its members. The year kicks off with a Boat Party in September, celebrating the new academic year with a memorable evening on the Thames. October’s Member's Party offers a great opportunity for new and returning members to connect face-to-face in a relaxed setting.

As the year progresses, the society organizes a Career Panel Talk from November to December, where seniors share valuable insights from their experiences in Spring Weeks and Summer Analyst programs, aiding fellow students in their career journeys. The festive spirit continues into December with a Christmas Party, marking the end of the year with joy and camaraderie.

The celebration of Chinese culture is at its peak during January and February with the Spring Festival Gala, featuring an array of talent shows to ring in the Chinese New Year, followed by a week-long Chinese New Year’s Culture Week, which includes activities such as calligraphy and paper-cutting. In March, the Dog Café Afternoon is designed to offer a soothing break for members, focusing on mental well-being.

Throughout the year, the society also runs a weekly Podcast covering various topics related to Chinese culture and student life in London. Annually, a Course Review provides incoming students with invaluable feedback on different courses from seasoned upperclassmen. Additionally, the Buddy Group initiative offers ongoing academic mentorship and opportunities for social engagement through table games, further enriching the student experience at LSE."
