34 Organized by the Green Team and with active participation from PPOL students, our “Piano for All: Music, Games, and Giving Back” gathering on Thanksgiving Day was a heartfelt success. PPOL students stepped forward to take the stage (and the keys) to share mus ic through the community piano—an initiative that underscores the strength of our community and the power of unity, especially as we stand together to support one another in the aftermath of the tragic Tai Po fire. The Green Team spearheaded a charity sale alongside PPOL student volunteers, where two organizations—Oxfam Hong Kong and Recovery Art—received overwhelming support from attendees. The funds raised will be directed towards local well-being initiatives, a meaningful outcome that makes the joint efforts of the Green Team (as organizers) and PPOL students (as participants) more rewarding. STUDENT HUB PPOL Students’ Perspective on “Piano for All” Thanksgiving Event On August 28, 2025, the Division of Public Policy (PPOL) at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) successfully held its annual orientation event, warmly welcoming a new cohort of MPP, MPM, MPhil and PhD students to the PPOL family. The day kicked off with a warm welcome ceremony, where PPOL faculty shared the division’s mission of nurturing future public policy leaders with global perspectives. They also introduced PPOL’s distinguished academic resources and cutting-edge research directions, helping new students gain a clear overview. Informative sessions followed, covering curriculum, academic requirements and career guidance, with faculty patiently answering students’ questions.
