Over seven years, HYP Global has grown from a single office in Shanghai into an international education brand with partnerships across 15+ U.S. universities. Here's a look back at the key milestones along the way.

In May 2026, Harry Gong, Founder and CEO of HYP Global, completed a new round of U.S. university visits — meeting in person with partner teams at UCR, UCI, CBU, Pepperdine, SCU, SDSU, and a number of other U.S. educational institutions.

Among the hundreds of students HYP Global has supported over the past seven years, Gloria Hao's story is a compelling example of what a career transition through PMBC can look like.

HYP Global's seven years of growth wouldn't have been possible without a team of people who've spent years in this industry and always kept students at the center. To mark our anniversary, we invited three long-time colleagues to share their reflections.

In March 2025, HYP Global held its team-building retreat and annual review meeting in Phuket, Thailand, where colleagues from across the country gathered for a joyful and memorable time.

On March 7, 2024, HYP Global held an in-person reception at Global Harbor, Shanghai, to celebrate the company's five-year anniversary, welcoming dozens of partners to the event. The team looked back on five years of growth, examined the evolving landscape of the study abroad market, and shared its vision for the company's future.

In September 2023, the HYP Global team embarked on a tour of partner universities across the United States. This marked the team's first in-person campus visit since the COVID-19 pandemic — the trip included both existing partner institutions and several universities under consideration for future partnership.
