Just in time for Christmas and New Year, MBS China centre wins a national award again–2013 outstanding contribution award to the China education industry! What a fantastic festive gift! The sohu.com annual education grand ceremony was held in Beijing yesterday (18 Dec) and I was honorably invited to receive the beautiful trophy and interviewed by group of major Chinese media. Actually back to late November, Gorge Xue, MBS excellent alumnus in Beijing representing the centre received another national award- The Most Influential MBA Brand at Sina education 2013 banquet. The two national awards (to the only foreign education institution) reflect MBS’ increasing influence and awareness in China, recognizing phenomenon achievements that we’ve made since 2008 when MBS opened the centre in Shanghai.
2013 is also a year of an exciting expansion, not only in terms of the new students number (159 enrolled Global MBA, incl.32 Tongji/MBS cohort), but also on a smooth relocation to a fabulous new centre. I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to Prof. Keith Brown, Prof. Fiona Devine and Mr. Nigel Banister who made a special trip to Shanghai in November and officially opened our new centre. The grand opening was a great success with wide media coverage across the region. One of the stunning reports was published on 2nd Dec at China Daily, on the first day of the British Prime Minister David Cameron’s visit to China.
During the year we also witnessed the growing number of alumni networking activities in China. Our Beijing alumni association kindly organised a welcome reception during Prof. Nancy Rothwell’s visit in September. The first MBS healthcare club was successfully launched in Oct and more industry based-clubs are being formed and will be announced at the upcoming alumni annual dinner in 18th January next year.
Thanks all for your great support to MBS China in 2013 and I look forward to a more prosperous year of the Horse-2014!
