38 STUDENT HUB On December 28, 2025, a group of Master of Public Management (MPM) students from HKUST’s Division of Public Policy (PPOL) joined Prof. Donald Low for a memorable excursion to Sai Kung. Far from the campus classroom, this outing offered a relaxed setting for students to connect with Prof. Low and their peers beyond academic discussions. Surrounded by Sai Kung’s beautiful coastal scenery, students engaged in casual yet insightful conversations with Prof. Low, who shared his perspectives on public management practices, career development, and real-world policy challenges. The day also included joyful group interactions, strengthening the camaraderie within the MPM cohort. This excursion was more than a leisure trip—it deepened the student-faculty bond, broadened students’ horizons, and provided a unique learning experience outside the curriculum. It was a meaningful day that combined relaxation, connection, and inspiration, cherished by all participants. MPM Students’ Sai Kung Excursion In November 2025, the Master of Public Management (MPM) program of HKUST’s PPOL successfully held an Alumni Sharing and Networking Event, bringing together MPM alumni, current students and faculty in a warm and engaging atmosphere. The event aimed to facilitate knowledge sharing, strengthen alumni-student bonds and build a cohesive MPM community. Outstanding MPM alumni were invited to share their valuable career experiences, insights into public management practices and practical advice for career development. Their inspiring stories sparked in-depth discussions, helping current students gain a clearer vision for their future paths. The networking session also allowed attendees to connect freely, exchange ideas and expand their professional networks. This meaningful event not only bridged the gap between alumni and current students but also reinforced the MPM community spirit. It served as a precious platform for learning and connection, leaving a lasting impression on all participants and laying a solid foundation for future interactions.
