We are celebrating the heart and soul of HKUST: our long-serving colleagues who’ve stood with us through decades of transformation, progress, and achievement. 

This year, 158 colleagues are honored for their steadfast dedication with 35, 30 and 20 years of service. To all our long-serving colleagues: thank you for shaping HKUST with your hands, heart, and years of unwavering service. 

Let' s relive and share the memorable moments by visiting the photo gallery on the HRO website. 

We warmly welcomed our new non-academic staff who joined from Feb to Apr. The session provided valuable insights into HKUST's core values, policies, and resources, featuring presentations from VP-AB and representatives from different departments. This was an excellent opportunity to kickstart connections and foster a collaborative work environment as 1-HKUST community! 

Participants showcased their creativity by transforming straw bags into vibrant summer accessories with pom-poms and strings. It was delightful to hear many express their excitement about carrying their unique creations around campus! 

 

People Leader Program: Phase 1 @ May & Jun

The first phase of the program has concluded with remarkable success, with over 700 instances of attendance by people managers to develop as effective leaders grounded in humility, courage, motivation, and empowerment. The program fostered personal growth and created a vibrant community of leaders who supported one another through insightful discussions and valuable experiences.

Let’s continue to inspire each other and cultivate an environment where everyone can thrive as impactful leaders!
