Hugs, laughter, and photo taking were aplenty on the night of Aug 25. Students congregated for one last time at a restaurant next to the hotel, where the students spent much of their time interacting over the past seven weeks.

The gathering marked the official end of an important step towards shaping the students in becoming professionals with a global perspective.

The melancholic atmosphere of the room dissipated into excitement when students sang songs, took and exchanged photos and so on.

Awards were presented at the dinner. This session's Star Exemplary Award winners include Parthiban, Phoebe, Jackson, Kailash, Macy, Joe, Yichun, Grace and Carrie. Each of them receives a USD 100 scholarship respectively.

"We have all come so far, even if the internship lasted only for a brief 7 weeks. Look at how everyone has grown since we first met," commented by Kailash, one of the Star award winners. Kailash was also the planner for the dinner.

The 2018 Cross Cultural Internship Program was a resounding success. It is on that high note that the recruitment for the next batch of students will begin on October 1, 2018.
