He also expressed gratitude to the Y. Elites Association for bringing around 20 industry leaders from various fields to join the dinner, interact with students and broaden their horizons.

Professor Chen Zhi, President of BNBU, said that the dinner was one of the key events of the BNBU’s 20th anniversary celebration, providing a valuable platform for cultural exchange and integration among students from both universities. He encouraged all students to prepare themselves to seize the remarkable opportunities in the Greater Bay Area.
