Come join us, as we launch Ivy Plus, which aims to inspire Hong Kong secondary school students, and their parents, to dream big on their next life journey, the pursuit of higher education. In the first program of our new series, Harvard, Wharton and Yale alumni speakers will tackle topics and questions that focuses as much on the key highlights of their unique college experience as on adopting a global competency mindset. Do you want to know more about the application process to American universities? How can a global mindset be developed and nurtured? What opportunities and pathways are available to Hong Kong secondary school students that can gear them towards an international outlook? Get an insider’s perspective from locally based alumni who are ready to share what you can’t get from a book about their experiences and personal tips. Prepare for a future that involves international exposure – either college, graduate studies or beyond!
