A total of seven faculty members were named the awardees of the Franklin Prize for Teaching Excellence this year – a testament to the remarkable performance of our faculty on teaching during the last academic year.

The Franklin Prize for Teaching Excellence 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 in recognition of the overall outstanding achievement of a department, and the Department of Finance notched up the award this year.

We are honored to have our donor, Professor Laurence FRANKLIN (right in the below photos), and Dean of HKUST Business School, Professor TAM Kar Yan (left in the below photos), to present the awards to the following recipients:
