Students and faculty form the backbone of a university's educational mission. Offering them any form of support can lead to a greater impact than one may envision. Mr. Dominic LAI, Group Co-Managing Director of CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd, recognizes this significance and exemplifies his commitment to supporting both students and faculty at the HKUST Business School.
In 2019, Mr. Lai first made a donation to the School to support students in entrepreneurship activities. This year, he made another generous gift to establish a faculty fellowship program aimed at honoring outstanding faculty members in support of their academic or research endeavors.
Mr. Lai’s successful career is also a source of inspiration for our students. He has held various leadership positions within CK Hutchison Holdings Group, including its retail arm, AS Watson Group, and the Harbour Plaza Hotel Management Group. He has over 40 years of management experience across different industries.
We are deeply grateful for Mr. Lai's generosity, which empowers us to continue our mission of nurturing future business talent.
