On 22nd April, to connect new students with senior alumni, a Sunday breakfast social was held at the University of Manchester China Centre. The workshop tutor Professor Oswaldo Lorenzoand and more than 10 workshop starters and alumni from different industries such as healthcare, HR, marketing, finance etc presented the mixer. The networking session began at 8:30am, thirty minutes before the workshop to make it convenient and feasible for workshop attendants. While being so early on a weekend morning, alumni arrived on time to spend a quality half hour sharing their experience, answering questions about company, sector and personal journey. The short and yet condensed session provided golden opportunities for GMBA starters to get first-hand feedback from seniors on how the programme would progress and what kind of preparations are recommended to take.
