End of March 2019, CCIP hosted its annual a series of on-campus pre-departure orientations and alumni gatherings in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau.
For most 2019 participants, it was their first time meeting thier students in person. It was a momentous occasion signifying the start of the 2019 CCIP summer internship in New York City.
"I can't express how excited I am for the summer internship, " said Emily from the University of Science and Technology. "It sounds like a lot of information, but I am all ready for it." Emily was also a student leader in the program interning for FUSIA Communications, the organizer, this summer.
This year, CCIP held a total of five on-campus orientations with each session running for three hours conducted in an interactive format covering highlights from the five manuals – next step after getting the visa, living in the US, interning in the US, getting around in NYC, and getting ready for the internship in NYC.
The orientations, which all saw full participation, were conducted by the program's Responsible Officer Elizabeth Kay and Alternative Responsible Officer Henry Hong. In addition, alumni shared firsthand insights in each orientation.
As is customary, each orientation was followed by gatherings of CCIP alumni from across the years – with some from the 2008 program. They inspired an atmosphere of excitement at what the future would hold.
