assistant manager. I believe it is undoubtedly
helpful in assisting freshmen to settle down as well as
enjoy their life in HK and at PolyU." By Lois Chan
"The Mass Check-in Team was the first group of people
the freshmen met when they arrived in HK. As the
manager of the team, I have enhanced my communication
and problem-solving skills. I'm proud to have
provided a warm welcome to the non-local freshmen upon
their arrivals." By Zhang Yijing
"The process of helping to organize the O'week gave me a
sense of accomplishment and I have also learned a lot
about leadership, communication and organization skills.
Also, I had a lot of fun during the whole process."

happily with our helpers. Also, we have given
freshmen as much help as we could at the same time.
I have improved quite a lot of my leadership skills and
I have learned how important is to work as a team.
Even though we are tired after all the work, we still
enjoyed the process very much. I really love the
experience and thank SAO for giving me the chance."
