“Generally, Y2B forum was organized well, from
the stage of marketing, tickets delivery to the end
of the event. I had many happy moments and
learnt many lessons from the forum. Thank the
Organization Board for bringing this helpful event
for young generation. So proud of you! Hope you
can make better and better events like this for
students to learn and experience!”
“I am a fourth year student, and I study at a university which have
never heard any information referring AIESEC. Luckily, in the end of
2012, a staff of Kimber Clark company invited your organization to
me and I found you on Facebook.
I started to attend activities from AIESEC at that time, such as: cover
letter competition, job fair recently and this forum.
To be honest, your members and your organization really impress me,
all of you are so great.
I wish in future AIESEC can expand network to those university which
teaching technology, yeah I mean that at University of technology or
university of technical education, we rarely have any your information,
your survival.
All best wish for AIESEC.”
