I would like to thank the Karen Lee Student Memorial Fund and the Public Service Internship Scholarship for giving me the chance to push myself out of my comfort zone! Without joining the SBMT2200 Social Enterprise Internship Program, I never would have been able to explore the social sector, and would not be the person I am today.

UG Get-Togethers are the perfect opportunity to make friends! These special events have everything needed to start a conversation, including food, drinks, and sofas where you can relax, have fun and communicate with fellow students and professors. At the gatherings, I made friends from all over the globe! As a freshman, I am surprised at all the different nationalities. Nevertheless, I like to be in this great society, surrounded by these brilliant people.

BBA FINA & IS, Year 3

UG Get Together is a great way to expand your social cycle within the university. Diverse professors, staff, and students come together to share their experiences. At this activity, students can obtain information on academics, university life, and different cultures. Snacks and drinks are provided by SBM. Just enjoy the time and meet more friends!!

Lai WEI

BBA ACCT, Year 2

I think the most unforgettable events during my first year in HKUST is the UG Get-Together. All the students and professors could come to have a cozy afternoon tea. Through this activity I get to know more friends who I haven’t know the name before, I also have chance to chat with different professors. It reduces the distance between students and teachers.

Dr. Kelvin MAK

ACCT Faculty

Faculty is just a person… and can be a possible friend! ‘Take Faculty to Lunch’ is conducive to a very relaxed atmosphere where students could know more about their faculty that they are comfortable with. That’s really cool!

Yun NUI

BBA ACCT, Year 2

We spent a great time with Kelvin MAK! This event not only gives me the chance to gain more knowledge about studying in UST but also helps us to know more about the business industry in HK. We even talked about how to explore the city, which is so wonderful especially when you're completely new to the environment.

Professor Carmen NG

MGMT Faculty

The ESCAPE workshop was an exciting experience! Not only did our group enhance teamwork thru various challenging tasks, but also reflected on individual and group processes that happened within the games and how it links to student advising.

Ms. Alice LUI

Program Manager
SBM Undergraduate Programs Office

The workshop reminds me that there is always more than one perspective to an experience, and we should have an open heart to embrace diversity and appreciate the uniqueness of each individual, especially when we are talking to our students. Empathy is one key attribute we should possess and cultivate as an adviser.

Professor Mark MIHOREAN

MGMT Faculty

The MENTAL HEALTH Workshop provided useful insights into some of the challenges and mental health issues that students with difficulties might experience. As HKUST aims to provide a supportive, empathetic community, mentoring will continue to play an important role in guiding students forward in life.
