The night of Flushing YMCA was filled with fun and laughter yesterday (Thursday, May 30) as 69 elite Hong Kong and Singapore students, participating schools and host companies from Cross-Cultural Internship Program 2013 had the whale of their time at a welcoming BBQ fiesta.
Attendees include representative from the Congresswoman Grace Meng's office, Hong Kong CUHK United College Alumni Association of Greater New York and Hong Kong Poly University Alumni Association.
The delicious smell of barbequed sausages, sweet potatoes, corns, chickens and fish wafted through the air as everyone gathered around the pit to make merry, while munching on the endless supply of food and drinks.
"I got to network with several companies and important personnel, and made many new friends through this barbeque dinner! The food was delicious too," said Cui Can, a student from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Harsha Narayan, a student from National University of School, commented, "I enjoyed mingling with my newly-made friends and getting to know one another better. I'm looking forward to the remaining weeks in New York!"
The presence of dedicated host companies, supporters and friends made this night a huge success.
The first few days of CCIP have been exciting and refreshing for students. They are eagerly looking forward to more fulfilling and fun days in New York throughout their 7 weeks internship.
