IPO provides students with daily selected fruits in supporting of their final examinations

In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, a growing collection of videos was made to feature the remarkable community at HKUST – past and present. “I hope that I can make more unforgettable memories with my friends here. And they can show me a little bit more about Hong Kong so that when I go back to Germany next year I can bring back some of the Hong Kong culture back to my home country.” our undergraduate Wons Julius Constantin said.

Wendy CHENG and Maryellen WAT, Year 4 students of Environmental Management & Technology Program (EVMT), won the 2nd Business Sustainability & Risk Management Case Analysis Competition 2017 organized by The Association of International Accountants (AIA)-Hong Kong Branch. It's the second consecutive year that IPO students won the championship.

Eager to play a part in helping HKUST’s local and overseas students cross cultural barriers and get to know each other better, a group of Year 3 business students launched the “Be Our Guest” dinner hosting program, an initiative which won them the President’s 1-HKUST Student Life Award. If you want to break the ice between local and overseas students and learn more about each other’s cultures, what better way to do it than by sharing food together? Better still, why not make it a truly authentic experience by hosting the meal at a student’s own home, round a big table Chinese-style? This was the thought that struck Jason Yuen after he joined the Exchange Buddy programme in Year 1 at HKUST and decided to invite two German and Russian students home for dinner. “There were lots of funny moments, but overall it worked very well,” he recalls.  “I wondered whether we could make it into a regular program”.

In celebration of our 25th Anniversary, a growing collection of videos was made to feature the remarkable community at HKUST – past and present. “I was able to find my passion and interests here and realized what I could do.” our alumnus Amy Tam said.
