We started with opening remarks by the President, Fukuhara-san (WG88/Lauder) followed by a toast by Yamamoto-san (WG91/Lauder). Then, Professor Martine Haas spoke about the Lauder program. She spoke about the current status of the Lauder program, how the program has changed since COVID pandemic (e.g., the program has become accustomed to a virtual environment, which has enabled it to invite a variety of speakers from around the world, both in person and virtually, after COVID), where the students work for after graduation, and the support for the Lauder program.
This was the first networking party of the year, and it was a great success. The participants enjoyed the networking opportunities.
