MSI Netbook Wind U100 Charity in Shandong Agricultural University

MSI Notebook Launches Charity on Campus Initiative

Recently, MSI Notebook chose to express an emphasis on humanities, technology and fashion in its corporate culture by providing assistance for students in need. The official launch of the 2008 MSI Wind Netbook U100 Charity in Campus initiative was combined with the increasing popularity of school sports and the Olympic spirit. Charitable school grants and self-development through sports and constant improvement are the elements of this school assistance campaign. All men and women's volleyball teams that win the crown in Division A of the University Volleyball Series and the Super Series will win a Wind Netbook U100, donated by MSI, for their school's work-study center.

The sport of volleyball has always been more than just a sport in China. Starting from the 1981 World Cup, the winning of five successive gold medals by the women's volleyball team has set an example for generations of Chinese people. Volleyball therefore has a special place in the hearts of all Chinese people.

The new initiative was to a certain extent influenced by the strong student interest in the 2008~2009 university volleyball series because of the excellent environment it generated for cultivating top Chinese volleyball and sports talents. The partnership between the China University Volleyball Association and MSI Notebook, the sole official notebook computer sponsor, will help stimulate students to embrace a volleyball and entertainment culture. This will serve as an example of how competitive sports and cultural entertainment can be successfully combined.

The China University Volleyball Series will also become the largest, the most challenging, and most influential tertiary volleyball tournament in China. As MSI Notebook continues to devote itself to promoting charity on campus, it will also bring even more highly cost-effective notebook products to even more student users.

The current MSI Netbook Wind U100 Charity on Campus initiative will run for 6 months and will offer opportunities for schools from around the country to receive charitable assistance. This will, in turn, convey MSI's interest in welfare to all users interested in MSI notebook developments.
