International Alumni and Parents Host Accepted Cushing Students

Many thanks to our Asian families and alumni who hosted receptions this spring for newly accepted Cushing students and their families.

The Hong Kong event, organized by Michael Ho ’06, president of the Hong Kong Alumni and Parent Council, welcomed 36 attendees, including current Cushing students home for

The Shanghai Alumni and Parents Council, headed by Amy Chen (mother of Nelson Zhou ’16), hosted 16 guests, and the Korean Mothers Association welcomed 27. Said Kyung Ha Lee, mother of Kobe Ko ’16 and president of the Korean Mothers Association, “We had a great event for accepted students and parents. Current students explained the general environment of Cushing and two alumni shared their time for accepted families as they make their decisions.”

A Japan event was held as well, hosted by the Japanese Mothers Association.

Their hard work—on the other side of the globe—benefits Cushing every day. Thank you!
