    HKUST may be a relatively young university. Yet it is not short of loyal stalwarts who have served devotedly in various positions for two or even three decades.     Tailor-making apparatuses to make each scientific exploration possible, ever modernizing facilities and services to improve the learning experience in the digital age, and taking extra steps to ensure each student feels valued and empowered.
