Congratulations to Kyle Ofori c/o ’13, Nathan Jones c/o ’14, and Michael Becker c/o ‘14 for placing 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd, respectively, in the Hong Kong Cup Chinese Speech Contest held in New York’s Rose Conference Hall in Park Avenue on October 8^th.   Fifteen outstanding contestants from universities in the Greater New York area were invited to the final round of Hong Kong Cup to deliver speeches on Hong Kong in Mandarin.   Top prizes include round trip airfare and tours in Asia’s world city.   Scooping the top awards at this event not only showcases a new generation of oratory talent in a foreign language, but also highlights the continued success of Princeton University’s Chinese language pedagogy.   Hong Kong Cup was organized by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York and proudly sponsored by Sing Tao Daily News, Hong Kong Tourism Board, HSBC Bank, and Cathay Pacific Airlines.
