Forty-seven GPGC students met for the first time on campus to attend the GPGC Orientation on a sunny and warm Tuesday.

Professor Vivian Zhan, Programme Director of GPGC, welcomed new students and encouraged them to become a person of H.O.P.E., which in simple translation, is a person of High aspiration, Open mind, Professionalism, and Exploration.

The program was then followed by greetings and self-introductions of GPGC teachers. Prof. Jean Pierre Cabestan and Prof. William Smith joined the event physically, while Prof. Michel Bonnin and Dr. James Downes sent their warm remarks to the students via pre-recorded videos.

The session was followed by an introduction to important academic matters, programme activities and university resources. Students then participated actively in the Q&A session.

Lastly, teachers and students were assigned to small groups to mingle and get to know each other before the start of the academic year.

We wish all GPGC students a healthy and fruitful academic year ahead!
