About Us

ARCC, which stands for Awareness of Roots in Chinese Culture, is an undergraduate student organization at Carnegie Mellon University which promotes Chinese culture for the university community and beyond.

ARCC holds an event every month, such as Mid Autumn Festival and Chinese New Year Dinner, to expose the campus community to the many facets that Chinese culture has to offer.

We structure the events to appeal to those who already know about their culture as well as for those who find the Chinese culture fascinating but are not yet familiar with it.

In Spring 2005, ARCC introduced a new event to the Carnegie Mellon community: One Night in Beijing: A Journey through Chinese Culture. The event highlighted the often-overlooked diversity within the Chinese culture through a series of performances and traditional booths.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any other questions about ARCC.
