ZJUAANC Alumni
North America Running Relay
Uniting the Qiushi spirit across North America, mapping the stars with our strides. Celebrating the 15th anniversary of ZJUAANC and 50th anniversary of ZJUAA.
Event Background
Fifteen years of ZJU in North Carolina,
Sharing honor and hardship, drafting a glorious chapter;
Fifty years of ZJU in North America,
Witnessing decades of change, continuing the legend.
On June 1, 2012, the NC Zhejiang University Alumni Association (ZJUAANC) was officially founded at North Carolina State University (NCSU), marking 15 years of journey. In 1976, the ZJU Alumni Association of North America (ZJUAA) was founded, welcoming its grand 50th anniversary.
Looking back at 2022, ZJUAANC joint forces with alumni associations in the East Coast to host a successful 10th-anniversary celebration. In 2026, on this double milestone, the ZJUAANC Board decided to launch a series of celebratory events, including this North American Running Relay, warmly inviting all global ZJUers and their families to join us!
