Over 80 NUS alumni from East China and Shanghai gathered at the 2008 China-Singapore Economic Outlook Forum and New Year Party in Beijing on 5 January 2008.
At the event, NUS Business School Shanghai Office Director, Mr Calvin Yan, introduced and expressed his gratitude to the Executive Committee of the Northern China Alumni Network (NCAN) for their efforts in organizing the event, which was financed by a group of alumni including NCAN Beijing President Mr Xu Xinyu, Secretary Ms Zhou Xing and Exco member Mr He Zeping.
Mr Xu and Ms Zhou, who were away on business, sent a congratulatory letter to the forum to encourage alumni to "sow the seeds" with the beginning of the new year, and nurturing them together so as to reap the rewards in time to come.
