International students of the FITM and FED City U jointly celebrated the Mid-autumn Festival this year with Prof. Aliana Leong, Vice Rector of City University,,Ms.Weng Mak and Mr. Gary Kuo, Executive Director of the Faculty. In behalf of the FITM and FED City U, Prof. Leong welcomed the newly enrolled international students. She said that the faculties have been working on complicated and overloaded tasks since moving to the new campus and apologized for the temporary inconvenience. The faculties brought mooncakes, fruit, and snacks for the students to better enjoy the festival. Mary, an international student from Zambia, appreciated Prof. Leong’s visit and the homelike atmosphere. She was curious about mooncakes and wondered what it tasted like. She also wished for more opportunities to communicate with Prof. Leong. Prof. Leong was impressed by the reactions of the students. She encouraged them to contact her through e-mail or visit her office whenever they are in need of help. She expressed her desire to make sure all needs of the students are met. At the end of the meeting, Prof. Leong said it was a great evening and hoped the international students enjoy staying and studying in Macau.
