Happy hour gathering
Published on 2016-06-09
After a long day at their respective internships, the Cross Cultural Internship Program's (www.theccip.com) group of exchange visitors came together at Oo Bar & Lounge for some happy hour revelry. Located in the heart of Flushing, Oo Bar is situated on the rooftop of the One Boutique Hotel and offers great views of the city. Happy Hour, which runs from 5pm to 8pm, is a nice time to gather for discounted drinks and food while chatting about New York life.
Organized by three student leaders, Jia Duo (Emerald), Yinjie Hua (Joyce), and Sai Hong Ng (John), the students gathered on a Thursday evening, returning to Queens after their internships which are spread throughout the boroughs of New York City.
Joyce is interning at Colon & Peguero LLP with a focus in commercial litigation and business law. It's a demanding but rewarding experience. "Being here in New York and getting firsthand experience in my field is a dream come true," Joyce said. "Having this group in the CCIP going through these experiences with me makes it even better, because I don't feel alone and we can do fun things like happy hour together."
"We had a lot of fun at the bar," said John, a student from the University of Hong Kong. "There is so much to do in this city and I'm excited for our trips to Boston and Washington DC. But for me, a relaxing night spending time with friends and telling jokes is just as great. We're coming together as a group and getting to know each other."
Organizing an activity like this is good experience, said Emerald who is learning about integrated marketing at Sing Tao New York. "I joined the Student Advisory Board because I want to develop as a leader. I have many opportunities while I'm here to improve my leadership skills and get better at time management. These are skills that will only make me stronger when I start my career."
