December is a festive season and an opportune time to unite alumni in the spirit of celebration and connection.
Bilingual EMBA Alumni Association Annual Grand Event in Nanjing
The annual event of the HKUST Bilingual EMBA Alumni Association held in Nanjing was a resounding success, with the participation of over 350 alumni from overseas and different Mainland cities.
A highlight of the event was the forum which was graced by Prof. WANG Yang, Vice-President for Institutional Advancement; Prof. Tim CHENG Kwang Ting, Vice-President for Research and Development; Prof. XIONG Hui, Associate Vice-President (Knowledge Transfer) of HKUST (Guangzhou), and distinguished alumni representatives, who engaged in invaluable thematic discussions. Prof. HUI Kai‐Lung, Acting Dean of the Business School, and Prof. FONG Yuk Fai, Associate Dean and Academic Director of the Bilingual EMBA Program, also gave insightful speeches.
Following the forum was a delightful banquet. Alumni from various regional chapters and classes showcased their artistic performances. Special thanks are due to the alumni who generously sponsored prizes for the lucky draws.
The dubbed drama adaptation “Let the Bullets Fly-HKUST Wins” (bottom left) by the Nanjing and Suzhou Alumni Chapters was named the evening's best performance.
On the day following the forum, a group of energetic alumni participated in a fun run.
