“It was absolutely relaxing to speak with my mentor Johnny since he knows exactly what we students are experiencing. We were able to talk about things that my parents would not understand. It was like hearing advice from a new perspective, which I found different and very helpful.” Xie Ying, exchange student from the USA in the BBA programme.
“Johnny gave me valuable advice regarding my expectations for a career pathway and what I could do to improve my competitiveness. I was hesitating about whether I should continue on the professional path to become an engineer. Johnny told me I had already made a decision when I chose engineering as my major, but I was not yet determined enough to accomplish my goal. He also gave me some examples of how people switch from one profession to another. He tried his best to comfort and counsel me when I was a bit frustrated and anxious about graduation and working. Now, I feel more capable and confident about handling the uncertainty.” Kelvin Chan, BEng(ME) Year 3
