On Friday, August 6, Professor Naijiu Chan of the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) paid a visit to the CCIP students.
When Professor Chan arrived, students gave him a warm welcome. Before the meeting, the students took Professor Chan on a tour of the Flushing YMCA, where the students reside. During the tour, Professor Chan asked students to talk about their living and internship experiences in New York. Hao Bijie, a sophomore student of MUST commented, "Life in New York is absolutely amazing. I'd love to say here." Professor Chan was deeply pleased that the students had made such a smooth adjustment.
After the tour, the students took a group photo with Professor Chan. It was then followed by a meeting at the Flushing YMCA's conference room and then a dinner. During the dinner, the students shared the experiences. They were satisfied with their gains and grateful for the opportunity. Students felt that their experiences in New York gave them something that can never be learned from the books.
Yongben (Ben) Lu, a Year 3 student at MUST, said with a smile, "This is an excellent opportunity to understand different cultures. The experience has not only made me realize my shortcomings, but also has helped me better set my future career goal."
Delighted with the students' positivity, Professor Chan commented, "I hope you all remember the three things I said before you left.
The students then shouted out loud, "Be confident, be friendly, and be proud of a student of MUST!"
Professor Chan also appreciated the opportunity and the support given by FUSIA. Elizabeth Kay, the head of the program, replied, "MUST students are proactive, friendly and cooperative. I am glad that the students had a great time here, but importantly, had gained from their internship experiences in New York "
