Alumni Sharing

In 2019, as a freshman in an unfamiliar environment at CWC, WAN Yuxuan, Tony (AI: Systems and Tech/Class of 2023) received the support and guidance from Ian, one of the previous Resident Tutors. In the following years, the warm and harmonious College life brought him pleasant and wonderful memories. Today, as an alumnus of CWC, Tony has become a Resident Tutor himself, serving the students and passing on the spirit of CWC. (This article is only available in English.)
