On July 7, the Beijing Center hosted a reception with GCC - Columbia University for newly admitted undergraduate students and their parents. Representatives of current students, alumni, and parents shared their experiences as members of the Columbia community and talked about course selection, career development, and their life on campus and in New York.
Student and parent attendees came from not only Beijing, but also other cities in China including Shanghai, Suzhou, and Zhuhai. Many current students and alumni from CC, SEAS, and Barnard joined the reception as well and engaged with their juniors. The reception was also live-streamed for students and families who were not able to come to Beijing.
After the reception, a piano recital was hosted for the Columbia community featuring Nansong Huang CC ’16. Programs include Schumann, Brahms, Ravel, and Prokofiev.
