Connect2 is a student-run initiative based in UCD Lochlann Quinn School of Business that aims to bring together the Irish and Chinese student communities. Sponsored by Deloitte, the iniative helps both communities to bridge the cultural gap, learn more about one another and share ideas under a social and business setting. Connect2 aims to integrate Chinese students into life in UCD while ensuring Irish students become more open minded and globally aware.

On Wednesday 30th September, Connect2 held their annual Launch Dinner with almost 120 Irish, Chinese and International students in attendance. The event was a great success with students of all nationalities enjoying delicious, authentic Chinese food while getting know a bit more about each other and about a new culture. As can be seen from the photos, everyone had a great night!
