Embrace change, the willingness unchanged – HKUST EMBA Successfully Launches Livestreaming Courses

The online courses were viewed more than 300,000 times, with over 10 media outlets re-sharing the courses online and over 4,000 interactions were recorded. Alumni members and students from various schools at HKUST’s undergraduate, masters, and MBA programs and corporate training students also took part in the courses.
Every challenge comes with hidden opportunities. The virus outbreak provided an opportunity for the EMBA office to continue to provide high-quality courses by embracing digital transformation to explore new learning methods and strengthen its network of online promotion.
EMBA Alumni Donate 120,000 surgical masks, Supporting The School During Pandemic
Since the virus outbreak, the EMBA alumni have eagerly supported their community in the prevention against the COVID-19. They have collectively purchased, transported, and produced medical supplies. Due to travel restrictions, with many EMBA students stranded overseas, our students and alumni continued to demonstrate their dedicated support throughout these challenging times. Ms. HU Min from the class of 2018 and Ms. XIE Jing from the class of 2016 donated 100,000 and 20,000 surgical masks respectively to support The School in properly protecting the health and safety of its students, faculty, and staff.
