Report
We had another great event with our visiting UT students at Prive on July 5th. We had over 40 students and a few new alumni joining as well. It was a nice representation of UT spirit in Hong Kong. We took advantage of the opportunity to snap some nice pictures of the fun as well, which you can enjoy.
In addition to half priced and sometimes buy-1-get-1-free happy hour drink specials, Prive provided us with free finger food that our attendees gobbled up in delight throughout the evening. It was a great atmosphere to connect with our visiting UT students and to hear about their month in Hong Kong. Additionally, we were delighted to see Nancy and Gene Baron make it out to the event and share with our members and the students news about their newborn twins.
For those who stayed well past the advertised ending time they enjoyed some beer pong played with water in the cups to keep things clean. We are not sure if you can call it beer pong if you do not have beer in the cups, but our students and late-staying members enjoyed that additional Prive attraction.
Invitation
About 50 UT business students taking part in the McCombs BBA Short-Term International Programs are currently here in Hong Kong. About half of them are taking an accounting class and the others are taking a supply chain management class on the campus of CUHK. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival we went to watch dragon boat racing with the accounting students. At the beginning of July, we will meet the students of both classes in a happy hour gathering before they leave Hong Kong.
Here are the details:
Date: July 5 (Friday)
Time: 7:00pm – 9:30pm
Venue: Privé, Basement, Century Square, 1-13 D’Aguilar St., Central, HK

It is our golden opportunity to meet some current UT students and link ourselves back with the school that we once attended and still love. Come and join us!
About the McCombs BBA Short-Term International Programs
Previously called the CIBER program, the McCombs BBA Short-Term International Programs sends two classes of accounting and supply chain management students to Hong Kong each year to take classes and to have company visits in Hong Kong and China. The students also take the opportunity to experience the local culture.
In the past two years, we have had four activities with the students of the program, and all the participants enjoyed those activities very much. Alumni and students built friendships that last beyond the end of the program.
