Ribbon Cutting Marking Opening Of USC Office in Shanghai

Not only was the food good and the drinks free, but I also got to see many familiar faces in the Shanghai alumni group and from my college days long ago.  Perhaps the highlight was seeing my former boss, SVP of University Relations, Martha Harris.  I enjoyed meeting new USC people and re-connecting with many others.  I’m looking forward to renewed energy, enthusiasm, and participation in the USC Alumni Club of Shanghai.

The new USC office is located on the 27th Floor in the Chong Hing Financial Center on Nanjing West Road.  The ceremony took place at the JW Marriott, just across the street from the office.  The USC Global Conference starts in Taipei on Thursday.  USC will open other international offices in Asia within the next year, namely Seoul, South Korea and India.
