Despite being over thousands of kilometers away from home, HKU Mentee Ali Tanzim felt a sense of belonging through his mentor Mr Patrick Kwan during his exchange in Vancouver, Canada.<\/p>\r\n

“My mentor is enthusiastic, passionate, wise, kind and supportive. Altogether, he is just an amazing person. He made me feel a sense of belonging in Vancouver. I felt that as we met up for various activities like badminton, lunch, sightseeing tourist sites etc, our mentor-mentee relationship developed into a friendship.”<\/p>\r\n

“Through my mentor, I was introduced to the HKU Alumni Association of British Columbia (HKUAA BC) and the HK Community in Vancouver, and networked with other HKU Alumni. Patrick shared his life experiences; about his student life in HKU and his career afterwards. This gave me a great insight into life after graduation. Now, I feel more hopeful and I believe I can better plan my own career based on his advice. Overall, my experience with Mr Patrick was very enriching and I am grateful and honoured to be his mentee.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
