Students from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) went on a visit organized by University of Hong Kong Alumni Association to the Brookhaven National Lab.
The Brookhaven National Lab is one of the ten national laboratories overseen and primarily funded by the Office of Science of the US Department of Energy (DOE). It is an advanced lab on cutting edge science, conducting research in the physical, biomedical, and environmental sciences as well as in energy technologies and national security. The students spent 3 hours touring the facility, watching live scientific demonstrations and attending a LASER show. Students were amazed at the gorgeous laboratory and the advancement of technology in the US. The experience was eye-opening for many students.
After the tour of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, the students visited the Tanger Outlet in Long Island. There were two shopping centers and more than 38 brand name stores. Students were excited to see the sales and discounts offered by the stores. As evening approached, the students had dinner with members of the HKU Alumni Association. Prominent HKU seniors with diverse background shared their experience with students and gave them sound advice; HKU students also grasped the opportunity to interact and learn from them. The dinner was filled with much joy and laughter. It was a memorable day.
