In an endeavor to nurture the ties between our School Alumni and empower our students with invaluable insights for their career progression, HKU Business School hosted the UG Students and Alumni Mixer event on March 6. This collaborative venture, organized by the School’s Undergraduate Student Enrichment team and the Development and Alumni Team, brought together esteemed alumni from diverse sectors and undergraduate students from a broad spectrum of majors.

The evening kicked off with a warm welcome from Ms. Alice Hui, Head of Development and Alumni at HKU Business School. Acknowledging the crucial support from our alumni for the event, she highlighted the objective of this gathering on creating a platform where alumni can share their professional journeys, insights, and wisdom with the students, thereby nurturing a sense of community and offering invaluable guidance for their future pursuits.
Following the introduction, Prof. Winnie Leung, Assistant Dean (Undergraduate), led an engaging panel discussion featuring alumni from diverse industries, including Mr. Dennis Mok [Class of 2019, Master of Finance Programme], Ms. Peony Cheung [Class of 2020, Bachelor of Business Administration (Information Systems)], and Ms. Elaine Pun [Class of 2020, Bachelor of Business Administration (Marketing)]. They shared personal stories and key takeaways, covering various facets from identifying career interests and accessing resources for internships and job searches, to transitioning into their first graduate roles and offering practical advice to our undergraduate students.
The event also underscored the advances made by the School in alumni engagement in recent years. With over 40,000 alumni across the globe, our alumni family continues to grow, particularly among the younger alumni. Moving forward, the focus on alumni engagement will be proactive, aligned with the School’s goal to enhance connections with alumni globally, encompassing local, mainland, and overseas alumni communities, while fortifying the ties with undergraduate and postgraduate alumni across diverse disciplines.
