ACAA Alumni Awards Winners and Finalists Luncheon successfully held in Shanghai
ACAA held a special luncheon gathering event on April 14, 2024. The participants were the former winners and finalists of the Australia and China Alumni Awards.
The luncheon was held at a famous award-winning restaurant on the West Jianguo Road, called Thought for Food. The elegant canteen environment, delicate, healthy and seasonal dishes made the gathering more special for the guests. ‘Celtuce and Green Honeydew Melon Salad on Cucumber Carpaccio’, ’Egg Benedict with Homemade Smoked Salmon’-all the alumni enjoyed the delicious cuisines with Spring seasonal ingredients and chatted with a good vibe.
During the event, all the guests made self-introduction while sharing their special memories of their life in Australia and their career achievements in China. Ms. Mavis Mak, winner of the 2023 Australia China Outstanding Alumni Award in the Arts and Creativity Industry, shared with everyone how she left the familiar Hong Kong environment and came to Shanghai to work hard. Together with her partners, she built one creative and influential art interactive installation after another for major shopping malls and partners. Dr. Tony Lin, who currently works at Monash University, also shared his previous experiences as a doctor practicing medicine and studying research, reshaping everyone's understanding of health. Psychologists, current affairs critics, education industry entrepreneurs, and alumni from various industries shared their achievements in their current work and concluded this event with sincere wishes to each other.
