CU MEDICAL ALUMNI BUDDY PROGRAMME
O CAMP GATHERING
inally…after months in the making, the Medical Alumni Buddy
FProgramme was introduced to eager freshmen during the second day
of the four-day Orientation Camp.
About 250 students, including freshmen and student group leaders
responsible for organising the O Camp, met their alumni buddy.
The freshmen were divided into 14 groups, with alumni allocated to the
14 O Camp groupings.
Dr Siu Wing-tai, the convener of the Medical Alumni Buddy Programme,
gave an introductory speech on the background of the buddy system.
He said the basic idea was to leverage the knowledge and experiences
of alumni to help students adjust to their school life so that
they can contribute to their alma mater in later life.
Dr Siu also took the opportunity to introduce a
series of activities to the excited students.
During the event there was a lot chatter
and laughter, with new friendships and
alliances being forged.
