Report
From Newsletter #2:
Each summer the Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) sends about 200 graduate and undergraduate business students abroad to take classes, go on company visits, become exposed to international business practices, etc., in Hong Kong, Paris, Prague, and Edinburgh. CIBER sends about 60 Accounting and Supply Chain Management majors to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, the students take two business related courses and live at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) for approximately 5 weeks.
This year, 58 students came to Hong Kong in June, together with 2 staffers and 2 professors. HKTX has organized 2 events for the alumni and students to meet.
On June 9, we had a visit to the Hong Kong Heritage Museum followed by a dim sum lunch in the Grand Capital Banquet Hall. 78 people, including 2 kids and one baby, joined the event. With that, it is the second most-participated event of the history of HKTX (only second to the National Championship watching party with USC).
On June 27, we had a Special Happy Hour Gathering with the students at Prive in Central. Participation from the students was a bit below our expectation because of the presentations that the SCM students had to do in the following day. Nonetheless all participants enjoyed the venue and the gathering very much.
The study abroad programs will continue next year. The Exco looks forward to meeting some new students.
Invitation
On June 9, 78 people including students of the CIBER International Summer Programs, CIBER staff, a UT professor, HKTX Ex-co members, and other alumni and friends (2 kids and a baby inclusive) gathered to have a dim sum lunch in a Chinese restaurant in Shatin. Many of them visited the Hong Kong Heritage Museum together right before that. It was the second-most-participated event of the history of HKTX. Most of them, if not all, enjoyed the event very much. If you are interested, check out the pictures of the event from the following URL:
As communicated before, we will have a happy hour gathering with the students at the end of the month. Due to a change in the schedule of the students, we will have the gathering on June 27 (Wednesday) rather than on the date discussed before. And here are the details:
Date: June 27 (Wednesday)
Time: 7-9pm or beyond
Venue: Prive (New address: Basement, Century Square, 1-13 D’Aguilar Street, Central, Hong Kong (near Central MTR station Exit D2)
Many students have committed to be there. This event will provide even more opportunities for our alumni to talk to the students, so it is definitely an event not to be missed.
The happy hour with the students last year was a memorable event. Check out the pictures of the event from the following URL:
