Students take notes during a lecture in China.
During the trip, they held discussions with local officials on cooperative education programs and gave lectures in project management to about 600 business and government executives and managers in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. They were accompanied by Thomas Tarnow, vice president for Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, who gave several well-received lectures. The response from the students was very positive, and we've made excellent progress in promoting UMT and project management education in China. In Shanghai, the group was the guests of honor at a dinner reception hosted by Vice Mayor Chen Liangyu. Mr. Chen praised UMT's efforts to bring project management to Shanghai, one of Asia's largest cities.
