To kick off a new year, Business Analysis Program organized a lunch gathering for students on 7 January 2020, attracting over 30 BANL students joining the event even though it was hosted during a preparation week. Everyone enjoyed the food and the students took the chance to interact with the major leaders, who gave valuable advices on different aspects such as students' academic development, gaining exposure through exchange program and future career planning.
