Professor TAM Kar Yan
President, Beta Gamma Sigma HKUST Chapter
Dean, School of Business and Management
My warmest congratulations to all 110+ new members this year. As a member of Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS), you are part of a network of outstanding students and respected leaders who embody the values of the BGS society: honor and integrity (Beta), pursuit of wisdom (Gamma), and earnestness (Sigma).
Since its inception in 1913, the BGS society has inducted over 900,000 exceptional members in over 190 countries, including close to 3,000 inductees from the HKUST Business School.
BGS serves as an international honor society that provides outstanding students with opportunities to connect with their peers and global leaders. The success of the HKUST Chapter over the past two decades is the result of the continuous support from our members and esteemed honorees.
This year, we are honored to have Ms. Edith SHIH, Executive Director and Company Secretary of CK Hutchison Holdings Limited, as our Chapter Honoree. Edith has made notable contributions to numerous committees and panels of public, regulatory, and professional bodies. She has also relentlessly served HKUST as a member of the University Council and chaired the University Anthem Working Group. Her achievements exemplify the values and ideals that BGS holds dear.
I encourage you to draw inspiration from Edith’s remarkable accomplishments. As you begin your journey as BGS members, you will find your association with the BGS network rewarding for your future endeavors.
In fostering a culture of excellence on campus, our Chapter Advisors Prof Stephen SHIH, Associate Dean (MBA Programs), and Prof Veronique LAFON-VINAIS, Associate Director (Undergraduate Programs), will play an integral role in developing the “Best in Business” BGS network.
Congratulations once again on your induction into the BGS HKUST Chapter!
