Event Summary: SJTU-SV & FDAANC Professional Mixer, 10/26/2007
Hi everybody,
Thank you all to those who came to the event, and we certainly had a good time together!
The thoughtfulness and generosity of our sponsor translated to an impressive array of food (both Chinese and Western), wine, and beer, but nothing compared to the sense of humor of our VIP guests and each other's company. For those of you who were still conversing energetically after 9 PM, I hope none of you camped out at the event location, because that was NOT part of the event arrangements :) In addition to the announced VIP guests, Google technical recruiters Tom Zhang and Jennifer Yue also came to the event. So those who have been thinking about joining Google got lucky.
Also, the following special friends of SJTU-SV showed up at the event as well,
and we truly appreciate their support:
Chris Pu, President, Tsinghua Alumni Association of Northern California
Haisang Wu, VP, Tsinghua Alumni Association of Northern California
Harrison Zou, VP, Beijing JTU Alumni Association
Yuan Tian, President SVC Wireless
As a special and personal "thank you", these dedicated souls and their support
and hard work made everything possible for that special Friday night:
Miangang Zhao (SJTU-SV board member and President)
Niandong Wang (SJTU-SV officer and long-time volunteer)
Maggie Cai (SJTU-SV board member and Ex-President)
James Jin (SJTU-SV board member)
Also, thank you, FDAANC friends, for all your support!
Let's find some reasons (again) and get together some other time to have more fun!
