Having pulled through this difficult year together, students from the Guanghua School of Management, Peking University gathered on December 26th to celebrate the approaching new year. The inaugural cohort of the “Future Leaders” Program created a special video carrying holiday greetings from all over the world that was screened at the Guanghua Students 2021 New Year Party. In addition to the good wishes for the upcoming year, the video also expressed gratitude to classmates and staff at Guanghua. Due to the pandemic, 26 international students from the “Future Leaders” Program, instead of joining their classmates on campus, attended class remotely during their first semester at PKU. To better support online learning and enable online student activities, Peking University and the Guanghua School of Management invested in new classroom technology, adapted teaching methods and course content, and experimented with innovative online bonding events to improve and enrich their “campus life” experience at PKU.

“Thank you to Peking University and the Guanghua School of Management for making our virtual education experience as smooth and integrating as possible. We can’t wait to see you all in person!” The 26 international students channeled their creativity and skills to send sincere wishes all the way from Spain, Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong (China), France, Germany, Canada, Italy, Poland and Brazil to the student community in Beijing.Even though students across the globe are held up by the pandemic, the sentiments they shared transcend borders, linking hearts together. The Guanghua family is proud to have fostered such strong connections despite the challenges. 2021 is sure to be an exciting year when we stand ever closer with our international communities and welcome positive change.

HAPPY NEW YEAR！
