Tsinghua International MBA Program held its annual International MBA Networking Night for its IMBA Alumni and current IMBAs to network on the 23rd April 2010 at Ten Year After Cafe.  Some from the class of 2012 were also invited to join in. 

 

Dean QIAN updated the alumni on the new MBA curriculum and shared on his recent trip to MIT.  The IMBA program was highlighted by Professor Susan HOCKFIELD, President of MIT, as one of the 3 major initiatives between Tsinghua University and MIT.

 

 

 

Amongst the distinguished guests who attended the networking night were Mr. MA Zhanchun, President of China National Investment and Guaranty and Mr. SUN Zhaodong, Senior Deputy Manager of China Construction Bank.  From Tsinghua SEM, Professor GAO Xudong, Director of MBA program and Ms. Pearl MAO, Executive Director of MBA program were also there to support the event.

 

 

 

Many of the alumni appreciated the chance to continue to stay in touch with Tsinghua SEM and to meet the new IMBAs.  Maximilian E. JOHNSON (Class of 2009) shared such events allowed the alumni to keep in touch with fellow graduates and meet new people.  “This was done on the common platform of the Tsinghua family where we share the interests of Tsinghua.”

 

For the current IMBAs, Larry LIAN (Class of 2011) saw the benefits of knowing more people to understand the different industries which could eventually lead to more job and development opportunities.  XU Bin (Class of 2012) knew he made the right choice to enroll in Tsinghua SEM as he saw how open the alumni and current IMBAs were in sharing their insights and experience during his conversations with them.

 

 

 

It was a successful event where the alumni, current and incoming IMBAs mingled and shared their interests and experience.
