Fresh faces of session B students from the Cross-Cultural Internship Program (www.theccip.com) were seen in the Assembly Room of the Flushing YMCA. 68 students from renowned universities from all over Asia had arrived safely in New York to intern in 30 plus host companies in New York and New Jersey.

The orientation provided students with information about living in New York and what to anticipate in the seven weeks to come. For many of the students, it was their first time in the Big Apple, and they were all filled with much anticipation.

The room was abuzz with conversation when the floor was opened for the Question and Answer session. During the session, students' questions about work attire, reporting time, meals and accommodation were clarified.

At the end of the sessions, many students stayed back to mingle with one another. The Post-Arrival orientation started off Session B of CCIP 2012 on a high note.

After the orientation, the students gathered outside the YMCA for a group photo-taking session, marking the start of their brand new adventure in CCIP.
