Dear BISC Student Volunteers,

This week is International Volunteers' Week, and at this special time, we want to say one thing to you: Thank you!

The year 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of BISC. The glory of this half-century has been made even more brilliant and dazzling because of you — our youthful, energetic volunteers.

We know that every minute you've dedicated to volunteering has been "squeezed out" of your already demanding academic schedules. Thank you for giving up rest and leisure time, choosing instead to pour your passion and energy into every corner of BISC. Whether it was setting up event spaces, greeting others with a warm smile, or working quietly behind the scenes — each of these countless small moments has come together to form the most touching memories of BISC's 50th anniversary.

At 50 years old, BISC remains vibrant and full of life — because of you, who are just in your teens and twenties.

Once again, thank you all. You have worked so hard! We wish you a Volunteers' Week filled with joy and a deep sense of appreciation.

With gratitude,
The BISC Team
