To usher in a brand new year, the University of Manchester Worldwide organised a New Year Cocktail Party in Hong Kong. This glittering occasion provided ample opportunity for students and Manchester alumni to expand their personal and professional networks in a warm ambience. There were not only local members present, but students from Japan, Korea, South China and Taiwan (from the January 2018 intake) also on hand to rekindle friendships and celebrate the start of their new journey.  All enjoyed the festivities, cemented contacts and raised a glass to a new year of prosperity and discovery!
