2nd Annual Joey Wat Scholarship Ceremony
On 30 January 2026, an intimate gathering at HKU iCube brought together students, alumni, and faculty to celebrate the 2nd Annual Joey Wat Scholarship Ceremony, co-hosted with the HKU Business School Alumni Association.
Scholarship recipients had the rare opportunity to connect personally with Ms. Joey Wat (BSocSc 1994), CEO of Yum China, who generously shared her journey — from HKU to leading a Fortune 500 company — and her passion for empowering future leaders.
The evening was filled with heartfelt sharing, warm conversations, and genuine inspiration, as students expressed their gratitude and motivation as Ms. Wat encouraged them to lead with authenticity, empathy, and purpose.
Congratulations to our outstanding recipients — your potential is limitless! And our deepest thanks to Ms. Wat for her unwavering support and belief in the transformative power of education.
