Lunch
Date
With the prime mission of “strengthening
bonds”, the
HKUST Convocation
is
committed to actively engaging with
students – its key stakeholders who will
automatically become members upon
graduation. Starting from this October, the
Standing Committee has embarked on
a series of lunch meetings with students;
this serves as a perfect avenue for them to
share their valuable experiences of various
aspects of university life, career planning
and so on. The lunch meetings will be
held on a quarterly basis.
