I’m Simon Hu, President of Banner Engineering Greater China. As the President of CHEMBA alumni association and the University of Minnesota alumni association Guangzhou Chapter, on behalf of all CHEMBA alumni, I’m pleased to welcome to all CHEMBA 2023 new students here to the Opening Ceremony. Welcome to CHEMBA.

On behalf of all CHEMBA alumni, I want to say thanks to all faculty team and management team of Carlson school and Lingnan college, thanks for the consist & great efforts and support to this program, all CHEMBA alumni love this program and we do support this program and want to make it successful.

Congratulate all CHEMBA new students here on your being admitted by CHEMBA program. You just made one of your best decisions in your life. Both Lingnan and Carlson are one of the best business schools in China and USA. I guess most of you already know how good Lingnan is. I work for a Minnesota company for last 18 years, as a half Minnesota people. I know how famous and how good Carlson school is. My classmate Michael Jin lives in Minneapolis, and he is the Managing Director of Newway China. he come from almost 10,000 miles away to study CHEMBA program, why？he told me it’s a much more expensive program in Minneapolis and he said you will not have chance to listen to the best professors of Lingnan and Carlson at the same time if he join the program in Minneapolis. So CHEMBA is no doubt your best choice, CHEMBA will improve your view of business and the logic of thinking, bring you some high quality and good friends in your life. I’m sure all of you will know some great and fun guys in your class. Personally, I enjoyed the program very much and was impressive for below top 3 great points for CHEMBA.

1. Base on business environment of US and China which are two biggest market worldwide to build high level strategic international business view.

2. Use the unique GTP(VTP) program to build the understand, skill and ability of cross culture communication.

3. Build the knowledge and ability for consist growth in fast changing business world.

You will be extremely busy in next 18 months, working full time on weekdays and studying on the weekends. However, if you can manage your time well, with the excellent faculty team and wonderful learning environment at Lingnan College and Carlson school, I’m confident that you’ll be proud of your decision for choosing CHEMBA two years later.

To all CHEMBA alumni and new students, CHEMBA alumni association is one important organization to connect all alumni and provide network and service to all of you. Now we have HR & Management Committee, Finance & Investment committee, Marketing Committee, Book Reading Club, and Mingling Charity Fund. In past many years, CHEMBA alumni association did a lot of things to connect & provide service to our alumni and support the CHEMBA program, there are a lot of great alumni in our association, you are very welcome and please be active to join these great activities. Join us, you’ll enjoy it. Today, we’ll transfer the alumni association leadership to next turn, Raymond LIANG will take the leadership from now. But as the alumni and friend of you, please feel free to come to me anytime and ask any questions in the future, I could be your navigator in twin cities, and I will be very pleased to provide any support I can.

Thank you and have a good day.

作为CHEMBA校友会主席和明尼苏达大学校友会广州分会主席，我代表所有CHEMBA校友，很高兴欢迎所有CHEMBA 2023年的新同学来到这里参加开学典礼。欢迎来到CHEMBA。

我谨代表所有CHEMBA校友，感谢卡尔森管理学院和岭南学院的全体教职员工和管理团队，感谢他们对这个项目的长期努力和支持，所有CHEMBA校友都喜欢这个项目，我们也支持这个项目，并希望它取得成功。

祝贺所有CHEMBA的新生被CHEMBA项目录取。你刚刚做了人生中最正确的决定之一。岭南学院和卡尔森管理学院都是中美两国最好的学院之一。我想你们大多数人已经知道岭南学院。我在明尼苏达州的一家公司工作了18年，作为半个明尼苏达州人。我知道卡尔森管理学院的出色。我的同学Michael Jin住在明尼阿波利斯，他是Newway中国的总经理。他从近一万英里外赶来学习CHEMBA项目，为什么？他告诉我在明尼阿波利斯的项目要贵得多，他说如果他参加明尼阿波利斯的项目，你就没有机会同时听岭南和卡尔森最好的教授的演讲了。因此，CHEMBA无疑是您的最佳选择，CHEMBA将提高您的商业观和思维逻辑，为您的生活带来一些高品质的好朋友。我相信你们所有人都会认识一些很棒、很有趣的同学。就我个人而言，我非常喜欢这个课程，并且对CHEMBA有三点印象分享。

1、立足美国和中国这两个全球最大市场的商业环境，建立高层次的战略国际商业观。

2、运用独特的GTP课程，培养跨文化沟通的理解、技巧和能力。

3、在瞬息万变的商业环境中培养企业成长所需的知识和能力。

在接下来的18个月里，你会非常忙碌，工作日全职工作，周末学习。但是，如果你能很好地管理你的时间，在岭南和卡尔森优秀的师资团队和良好的学习环境下，我相信两年后你会为你选择CHEMBA的决定感到自豪。

对于所有CHEMBA校友和新生来说，CHEMBA校友会是联系所有校友，为大家提供网络和服务的重要组织。现设有人力资源管理委员会、财务投资委员会、市场营销委员会、读书会、明岭慈善基金。在过去的几年里，CHEMBA校友会做了很多工作，为我们的校友提供联系和服务，支持CHEMBA项目，我们的校友会有很多优秀的校友，我们非常欢迎你，请积极参加这些伟大的活动。加入我们吧，你会喜欢的。今天，我们将校友会的领导权移交给下一届，从现在开始由梁旭朗Raymond担任领导。但作为你的校友和朋友，以后有任何问题，请随时来找我，我可以做你在明尼苏达双城的领航员，我会很乐意提供我所能提供的任何支持。

谢谢大家，祝你们愉快。
