The Franklin Prize for Teaching Excellence is presented annually to recognize and celebrate faculty excellence in teaching at the HKUST Business School. The Prize was established in 2000 with donations from the Larry and Mei Kwong Franklin Endowment Fund to recognize our faculty contributions in the form of teaching excellence in undergraduate and graduate degree programs.
The Department Award is an addition to the Franklin Prize to honor the overall outstanding achievement of a department over the past academic year. This year, the Department Award goes to the Department of Finance. The award plaques were presented by our donor Prof. Laurence FRANKLIN on May 13 to the following awardees:
