Around 80 high school students attended the GBS and IBCE Open Day on 30 January 2016. Dr. John Lai, Assistant Dean (Undergraduate Studies) and Director of Global Business Programs at CUHK Business School, started the information day with a program overview. Alumni from various industries including IT, government and banking then shared their average work day and unveil the mystery of their industries. Participants were then engaged in a mock case study where they got a taste of how business students analyze problems and work in a team. At the interview skill workshop, participants were given tips on how to present their true self to impress the interviewers. Representative from University of South Carolina introduced the partner university to potential students. Towards the end of the information day, participants are connected with current students and alumni at the mix and mingle session.
Extracts from participants’ feedback:
“I like the mock case study the most! The best activities are always putting skills into practice.”
“I like the mix and mingle session where I get to understand the program more from the perspective of alumni.”
“The event provided in-depth and comprehensive knowledge of all aspects of the program.”
