Since taking up my position, I have seen this respected degree-granting institution continue to reach new milestones of success. Leveraging its "Liberal + Professional" education model, HSMC provides students with an all-round learning experience that aims to ensure they reach their potential and are well-equipped to drive sustainable economic growth and enhance social well-being in the future. The 2017-2018 academic year marked many significant achievements for HSMC. In addition to completing the Institutional Review Exercise for attaining a private university title, the College secured the maximum benefit available under the Government's Seventh Matching Grant Scheme. We also drew up our fiveyear Strategic Plan 2018-2023, which reflects HSMC’s firm commitment to continuously improve teaching, research and service quality standards. I wish to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ms Rose Lee, the immediate past Chairman, for her leadership and wise counsel in guiding HSMC to new heights of excellence; and to all Board and Council members, staff, students, alumni, donors, partners and friends for their unwavering support and contributions. Having developed from its founding as Hang Seng School of Commerce to become HSMC, this institution has flourished over the years by focusing on high educational standards and the importance of nurturing well-rounded future community and business leaders. This focus will remain central to our endeavours as we strive to become a leading private liberal-arts-oriented university in the region. Louisa CHEANG Wai-wan Chairman of Board of Governors (Since 1 July 2018) Message from the Immediate Past Chairman of Board of Governors As Hang Seng Management College (HSMC) moves forward, we celebrate our achievements, strengthen our ongoing programmes and strive to advance our five-year Strategic Plan 2018-2023 – Riding on the New Era: Private University with a Difference, which was released in February 2018. This is the second five-year Strategic Plan since the establishment of HSMC in 2010. It features our concerted efforts towards realising our overarching objective of securing private university title. Our vision to be a leading private liberal-arts-oriented university can be demonstrated through our continuous quest for teaching and academic excellence, as well as initiatives to identify and respond to emerging opportunities from evolving international and regional development. Hong Kong is at the forefront of the global village undergoing technological innovations, as well as the Mainland’s social and economic evolution. HSMC is firmly focused on the exciting yet challenging future by “thinking globally, acting locally”. With the ardent support of the Board of Governors, College Council and College Management, efforts have been stepped up to engage with relevant policymakers, government officials, business, education sectors and the local community to share our vision and its commitment to students’ edification through quality all-round higher education. Our Fundraising and Donation Committee spared no efforts in pursing the support of private and corporate donors. Their donations are, in turn, matched by the Seventh Matching Grant Scheme launched by the Government in August 2017. This two-year scheme is intended to encourage eligible self-financing degree awarding institutions to tap into multiple funding sources. Our sincere gratitude goes to our supporters and sponsors who have, through the years, selflessly given their funding support, time, advice and guidance. HSMC has made significant progress in securing private university title. We would not have got to where we are without the dedication of our Governors and Members of the College Council, Management, Faculty and Staff. My sincere wish to all for greater accomplishments in the new chapter. Rose LEE Wai-mun JP Immediate Past Chairman of Board of Governors (Up to 30 June 2018) Message from the Chairman of College Council The year under review was an eventful one filled with excitement and great joy! In the course of the year, we steered closer to our long sought-after goal – to be recognised as a fullfledged university not only in substance, but also in fact and in name. In 2017-2018, we had completed the Institutional Review in connection with our application for the private university title. And we had fulfilled the requirements of being accredited for the setting up of the third programme area of study and training for “Mass Media and Communication, Journalism and Public Relations”. This is indeed most encouraging to all of us. As the Chairman of the Steering Group on Strategic Planning, I am delighted to see the unveiling of the HSMC Strategic Plan 2018-2023 entitled Riding on the New Era: Private University with a Difference which lays out the blueprint for the development of our institution in the next five years. Broad based and inclusive, our Strategic Plan was formulated with input from Governors, College Council Members, faculty and staff, students, alumni and other stakeholders such as parents, educators and employers. The Strategic Plan includes new initiatives such as the establishment of an art and design academic unit, full implementation of the Residential College System and re-development of the Old Hall into a new 9-storey administration and academic building, to name just a few. In this academic year we continued to be blessed with outstanding achievements in terms of research grants in the Competitive Research Funding Schemes for the Local Self-financing Degree Sector (2018-2019 Exercise) by the Research Grants Council. The College has secured a total funding of HK$8.5 million for 13 projects, which is the highest number of funded research projects among all local self-financing degree-granting institutions. Congratulations to our faculty members for the excellent work and achievements. We have further enhanced our research and learning facilities and continued to foster a research culture for faculty members as well as students. Three new research and learning centres, namely the Centre for Greater China Studies, the Institute for Youth Sustainability Leadership and the Wu Jieh Yee Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship were established. We expect that our students and faculty members will garner further accolades for our institution in the years to come. Our students have again excelled in various competitions – winning top awards in highly competitive projects involving students from local, the Mainland and Macau universities and higher education institutions. I would like to take this opportunity to thank and recognise the many friends and supporters who have been supporting us through the years as well as the new ones who have signed on. My sincere thanks also go to the Strategic Planning Group and the five Subgroups who have rendered their wise counsel with which we can embark on the exciting five-year journey to play our unique role in the higher education sector of Hong Kong. Last, but by no means least, my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our many benefactors, community leaders, staff members, alumni and students who have shared their ideas and thoughts with us – all with the ultimate goal of seeing us through to our next advancement. Moses CHENG Mo-chi GBM, GBS, OBE, JP Chairman of College Council Report from the President Introduction The year 2017-2018 was a flourishing year for HSMC. Building on the foundations laid, HSMC has grown by leaps and bounds and made impressive strides in different areas over the past 12 months. This report reflects on HSMC’s achievements in 2017-2018 and outlines how we carry the momentum forward to the next phase. Among our accomplishments, I am glad to present to you the following highlights. HSMC Five–Year Strategic Plan for 2018-2023 Following the successful implementation of our first five-year Strategic Plan 2013-2018, HSMC embarked on a yearlong, comprehensive and collaborative process in April 2017 to formulate our next five-year institutional Strategic Plan. The strategic planning process involved extensive consultations among members of the HSMC community and other stakeholders such as parents, educators, employers, etc. Distilling the collective wisdom of the HSMC Family, the HSMC Strategic Plan 2018-2023 – Riding on the New Era: Private University with a Difference was launched in February 2018, which charts the course for HSMC’s next phase of development in five strategic focus areas, namely “Robust Curriculum and Programmes”, “Innovative Teaching, Learning and Research”, “Transformative Student Experience”, “Dynamic Public Engagement and Advancement”, and “Sustainable Campus and Resources Management”. Distinctive new initiatives of the HSMC Strategic Plan include: ‣ Establishment of an art & design academic unitoffering new creative disciplines; ‣ Establishment of the Student Innovation &Entrepreneurial Centre; ‣ Launching the “One Student, One Internship”scheme allowing every undergraduate student togain internship experience; ‣ Full implementation of the Residential College System engaging more non-residential faculty members and students, and offering credit-bearing common core and general education courses at the Residential Colleges (RCs); ‣ Active par ticipation in the UNESCO Global Humanities Chair Project (HSMC is the only invited full collaborative member in Hong Kong, as well as one of the five in the world); ‣ Enhancement of the study and application of creative technology including AI, big data analytics, fintech, blockchain, etc; and ‣ Establishment of a creative culture hub for planning and organising more creative cultural activities. Programme Development - New Programmes In the year under review, five new degree programmes across various academic disciplines were accredited bythe Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) and approved by the Chief Executive in Council, including the Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in Human Resource Management, the Master of Science in Entrepreneurial Management, the Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management, the Master of Arts in Strategic Communication and the Master of Arts in Translation (Computer-Aided Translation). This brought the total number of HSMC’s accredited bachelor’s degree programmes to 17 and accredited master’s degree programmes to five. The College will continue to develop innovative academic programmes to nurture talents with professional knowledge and intellectual competencies who are capable of finding solutions to future challenges of society. - Student Admission Following the satisfactory student admission exercise for 2017-2018 with a new student intake of 1,425, the College conducted another effective student admission exercise for 2018-2019 with a slight increase when compared to that of 2017-2018. For 2018-2019, we recorded an intake of 937 Year-one students and 508 senior-year students despite a drop in the number of students taking the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education Examination (HKDSE). With the approval from the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China in late March 2018, HSMC was allowed to resume recruiting Mainland students from 19 provinces for its undergraduate programmes starting from the academic year 2018-2019. This will help enhance the multicultural mix of the student body at HSMC and provide stimulation and impetus for local students. - Teaching and Learning In the reporting year, the Wu Jieh Yee Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WUCIE) was established with a HK$5 million donation from Wu Jieh Yee Charitable Foundation. The Centre aims to cultivate an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset in students through a range of functions and activities, such as providing mentorship support to HSMC aspiring entrepreneurs to transform their business ideas into new ventures through preincubation programmes and pitching their business ideas to experienced business practitioners. To promote service learning and community engagement among students, the Institute for Youth Sustainability Leadership was established with a HK$2.5 million funding support from Dr Lau Ming-wai. The Institute serves as a hub sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources of sustainability development with various stakeholders in the wider community. Through its broad range of educational projects, the Institute empowers youths to identify solutions to attain the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Sustainability Development Grant was also established to support HSMC teachers who wish to promote SDGs via teaching and learning initiatives. In the 2017-2018 Quality Enhancement Support Scheme, HSMC received a grant of HK$2.03 million from the Education Bureau (EDB) to support a two-year project “Integrating Service Learning into Classroom Learning”. To promote the pedagogy of service learning, a Service Learning Section was established under the Centre for Teaching and Learning. - Research In the 2017-2018 Research Grants Council (RGC) Competitive Research Funding exercise for the local self-financing degree sector, HSMC was awarded a total of HK$21.9 million for 25 research projects, which included one Institutional Development Scheme (IDS) project, two Inter-institutional Development Scheme (IIDS) projects and 22 Faculty Development Scheme (FDS) projects. HSMC was ranked the highest in terms of both the amount of funding received and the number of awarded projects among the local self-financing degree sector in the year. Also, for the four-year cumulative result since 2014-2015, HSMC was placed the top in terms of the amount of funding and the number of funded research projects. This exceptional outcome has demonstrated HSMC’s commitment to undertake impactful research that advances the society and enhances teaching/learning. With the above IDS funding support, the Centre for Greater China Studies was established in March 2018 to serve as a platform to enhance interdisciplinary research in humanities and social sciences that highlight the dynamic relationships between the growth of China and the transnational exchange of people, technologies, commodities and ideas among China, the Belt and Road countries, and other overseas Chinese societies. Furthermore, a project titled “Machine Translation of IPO Document” led by a team from the School of Translation was granted a funding amount of HK$1.4 million from the Innovation and Technology Support Programme under the Innovation and Technology Commission. The project helps to enhance the performance of machine translation from English to Chinese for HKEX documents, such as IPO documents and company annual reports. - Student Life and Development HSMC attaches great importance to students’ all-round development. To provide a transformative student experience that contributes to their intellectual and personal growth, the College adopted the “Student Learning FIRST” strategy encompassing first-year experience, internship and international exposure, RC life, and service learning and community engagement. To provide better learning support to Year-one students,our First-year Study Centre offers tutoring services for students taking selected first-year foundation modules. During the year, new partnerships have also been forged with overseas institutions so that more students can widen their horizons through intercultural learning journeys abroad. As of 15 August 2018, HSMC established academic collaborations with 62 institutions in over 21 countries/regions, which was an increase of 17% compared to that of previous year. Furthermore, HSMC students took up over 1,100 local and overseas internship offers provided by 316 renowned enterprises/organisations to gain hands-on working experience and sharpen their employability skills. According to some employers’ feedback, HSMC students in general were highly regarded as responsible and motivated employees, with a strong willingness to learn and a positive working attitude. The College affirms the educational values inherent in the residential undergraduate experience and is committed to providing a living and learning environment that fosters students’ intellectual pursuits and social development. To fully implement our RC System, the College took steps in August 2018 to engage wider support from faculty staff to serve as Fellows of our RCs. These Fellows will provide academic advising, pastoral care and guidance to students, and share with them insights on the development of RC educational programmes, etc. Through meaningful facultystudent interactions in small, diverse communities and a series of enriching educational programmes, students can learn better and have a stronger sense of identity towards their RCs. Starting from 2018-2019, non-residential freshmen will also be invited to be affiliated to one of the RCs as non-residential members. - Student Achievements To give recognition to meritorious students with outstanding academic and co-curricular performance, HSMC endeavoured to expand its portfolio of scholarship and award programmes to support students’ all-round development. In 2017-2018, a total of 1,200 individual students (an increase of 9.4% compared to 2016-2017) received over HK$17 million scholarships and awards (an increase of 3% compared to 2016-2017) offered by HSMC. We are grateful for our donors’ generous support, which help our students and the future generations cement their path towards realising their full potential and sharing their talent with the society. Each year, students from across various disciplines of study are recognised and awarded for their outstanding achievements in numerous open competitions, such as: ‣ Winner of “Best in Tech News Reporting” and “Best in News Video Reporting” in the Chinese group of China Daily Hong Kong Edition 2017 Campus Newspaper Awards; ‣ Gold Award and “Best Advertising Video Award” in 2017-2018 Joint University Outstanding Marketing Award; and ‣ Gold Award (Campus Category) in the 18th Consumer Rights Reporting Awards (2018). - Graduate Employment As in previous years, the employment rate of HSMC graduates remained at a consistently stable and high level. An annual employment survey focusing on fresh graduates was conducted by the Student Affairs Office during the period from October 2017 to January 2018 on their employment status, remuneration and job-seeking experience. The response rate was 90%, representing a reply from 721 bachelor’s degree graduates. The engagement rate of HSMC graduates in full-time employment was close to 80% within four months of graduation. - Institutional Advancement As a self-financing institution, donations contribute to HSMC’s sustainability and development. Throughout the year, HSMC reached unusual lengths achieving a landmark progress in fundraising. A total of HK$196 million was raised under the government’s Seventh Matching Grant Scheme (MG7). As of July 2018, the College has successfully met the matching grant ceiling of HK$100 million. Major donations under MG7 include: ‣ HK$10 million from Dr Patrick Poon to set up the “Dr Patrick Poon’s Matching Challenge”; ‣ HK$12 million from Ms Rose Lee Wai-mun to support College general development and the corporate governance programme; ‣ HK$18 million from the S H Ho Foundation to set up the “Dr S H Ho Scholarship in Banking and Finance”, and another HK$5.6 million to top up the S H Ho Overseas Scholarship Fund; ‣ HK$20 million from Wei Lun Foundation to support College general development; and ‣ HK$100 million from the Lee Shau Kee Foundation to support College general development. Our first community engagement cum fundraising event “HSMC FunD Run for U” was concluded with success on 15 April 2018, attracting over 1,200 participants from the public, corporations, secondary schools, non-profit organisations and members of the HSMC community, who supported raising consciousness of healthy living and positive thinking via taking part in the 10 km Challenge Run and 3 km Fun Run. These fundraising successes are strong affirmations that our benefactors place high levels of trust in HSMC and are willing to help us realise our vision through their philanthropic giving. - Governance In the reporting year, following the stepping down of Ms Rose Lee Wai-mun on 30 June 2018, Ms Louisa Cheang Wai-wan, Vice-Chairman and Chief Executive of Hang Seng Bank Limited, was appointed as Chairman of HSMC Board of Governors with effect from 1 July 2018. Four new Governors, Ms Ivy Chan Shuk-pui, Dr Patrick Fung Yuk-bun, Professor Michael Hui King-man and Dr Eric Li Ka-cheung, were also appointed in the year. Furthermore, Dr Brossa Wong was appointed as College Registrar on 16 August 2017; Dr Tom Fong, former Associate Vice-President (Student Development and Campus Services), took up the Vice-presidentship (Organisational Development) on 1 September 2017; Professor Tam Kwok-kan assumed duty as Dean of School of Humanities and Social Science (SHSS) on 1 August 2018 following the retirement of Professor Thomas Luk in the end of July 2018; and Professor Gilbert Fong was appointed as Dean of School of Translation with effect from 1 July 2019. - Other College-wide Projects and Achievements HSMC Global Humanities Initiative HSMC established the “HSMC Global Humanities Initiative” programme in association with the Asian New Humanities Network and the UNESCO Chair in Asian Humanities and Global Network. The kick-off ceremony of the programme was held on 12 October 2017, followed by the world premiere of a documentary film “7%”, which was produced by Golden Horse Award-winning Director, Zhou Hao. The event attracted over 100 members of staff, students and media friends to explore the future of artificial intelligence and humanity. Partnership with Peter F Drucker Academy on “Management as a Liberal Art” Subsequent to the partnership agreement between HSMC and Peter F Drucker Academy (DAHK) to promote DAHK’s philosophy of “Management as a Liberal Art” (MLA) through the “HSMC – MLA Initiatives” funded by the Shao Ming Lo Foundation, HSMC and DAHK co-organised the International Conference on Management as a Liberal Art – Revitalisation and Localisation on 16 October 2017. Over 10 key speakers from different countries and around 300 participants attended the conference. Furthermore, with the sponsorship from DAHK, two elective modules in MLA namely “Back to the Human Side” and “Toward a Better Society” were developed and offered during the year. Five outstanding students of these two modules were offered scholarship to attend a one-week study tour in the California Institute of Advanced Management. 7th Junzi Corporation Survey and Forum on Ethical Entrepreneurship Entering its 7th year, the Junzi Corporation Survey was an annual event promoting the Confucian concepts of Junzi and business ethics. HSMC announced the results of the 7th Junzi Corporation Survey including the HSMC Hong Kong Business Ethics Index and held the Forum on Ethical Entrepreneurship on 23 November 2017. At the Forum, academics and corporate leaders shared their insights on business ethics and challenges faced by start-ups in Hong Kong. QESS-funded JINESS Initiatives With the funding support from the Quality Enhancement Support Scheme, the Joint-Institution Network for Student Success (JINESS) system and the JINESS Careers Fair were launched on 9 March 2018. Led by HSMC in collaboration with four other institutions, the JINESS system was the first career portal facilitating employers to recruit talents and exposing students and graduates of local self-financing degree-granting institutions to career and experiential learning opportunities. HSMC Founders’ Day 2018 and President Forum To celebrate HSMC’s 8th anniversary, the President Forum cum Founders’ Day Ceremony and Reception was held on 16 March 2018. Centring on the theme “The Future of Liberal Arts Education in a Globalised Context”, Professor Jeffrey S Lehman, Vice-Chancellor of NYU Shanghai and former President of Cornell University, and I shared with academics, teachers, policy makers, employers, students, parents and the general public on the essence of modern liberal arts education as well as the role and future development of private liberal arts institutions in the region. 2nd HSMC Business Journalism Awards The 2nd presentation ceremony of HSMC Business Journalism Awards (BJA) was held on 18 April 2018, with Mr Paul Chan Mo-po, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government, as the officiating guest. Featuring the importance of journalist ethics and professionalism in the reporting of business, economic and financial issues, the HSMC BJA was the first of its kind initiated by a tertiary institution in Hong Kong. Response to the Consultation Document of the Task Force on Review of Selffinancing Post-secondary Education HSMC submitted its input in response to the Consultation Document released by the Task Force on Review of Selffinancing Post-secondary Education set up by EDB in August 2018. The College’s views included urging for an overhaul revision of the outdated Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance(CAP320) and Regulations(CAP320A); creating a level-playing field such that a single unified accreditation and quality assurance mechanism should apply to both self-financing units/programmes of publicly-funded institutions and independent self-financing institutions; provision of more policy and resources support to self-financing degree-granting institutions, etc. Awards Received by HSMC The College received several awards in recognition of its commitment to energy saving, corporate social responsibility, and care for the community, employee and environment. These awards included "Hanson Outstanding Award" (2nd top award in the post-secondary education institution category) of the "Energy Saving Championship Scheme 2017"; “Corporate Social Responsibility Award” (university category) which was the first and only local higher education institution receiving such a renown from the Mirror Post; “Good MPF Employer Award 2016-2017” by the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority; and “Five Years Plus Caring Organisation Logo” by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. - Concluding Remarks In December 2017, HSMC submitted its Institutional Review Report for application of private university title to HKCAAVQ and an on-site accreditation visit by the HKCAAVQ panel was held smoothly in April 2018. In keeping with our established plan in 2016, the College hopes that it will attain approval of its university title by late 2018. In 2018-2019, following our Strategic Plan, we will delineate the College’s three-year Academic Development Plan (2019-2020 to 2021-2022), develop new degree programmes in global business management, economics, politicsphilosophy-economics, and art and design; launch various new initiatives of WUCIE and IYSL; fully implement the RC System; install further green features in our campus; and step-up our efforts in developing HSMC into a smart university using smart technologies. I would like to extend my grateful and heartfelt thanks to members of our Board of Governors and College Council, and in particular, our immediate past Board Chairman Ms Rose Lee Wai-mun for her exceptional leadership over the past five years. The Board and Council have given HSMC the direction and strength as we steer towards our goals. I would also like to thank donors for their generosity and steadfast support which have not only motivated our students, faculty and the College community, but will also benefit many generations of HSMC students in future. Lastly, I would like to thank other members of the HSMC Family for their remarkable work and collaborative efforts, without which, we would not have gone thus far. While there will definitely be challenges ahead in 2018-2019 and beyond, I have every confidence that with our concerted efforts, HSMC, with its “Liberal + Professional” education model, will grow in prominence and march towards its vision to become a leading private liberalarts-oriented university in the region, recognised for excellence in teaching, learning and research, serving and advancing our society and the world.

During the two-day visit, the Panel met with the College Management, key personnel and academic staff of the School of Humanities and Social Science and the Department of English, external stakeholders, as well as students and graduates of the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English programme. With the attainment of the new programme areas, the College may offer any new bachelor’s degree programmes within the approved programme areas through its own quality assurance process without having to undergo the Learning Accreditation process of HKCAAVQ. PAA for English Language and English Literature Subject Matters Successful Accreditation of Four New Postgraduate Programmes Upon the successful accreditation of the four new master’s degree programmes, namely Master of Arts in Strategic Communication (MA-SC), Master of Arts in Translation (Computer-Aided Translation) (MA-TCAT), Master of Science in Entrepreneurial Management (MSC-EM) and Master of Science in Global Supply Chain Management (MSC-GSCM), conducted by the HKCAAVQ, the Chief Executive in Council (CE-in-Council) granted the approval for the College to award degrees for these four programmes with effect from 2018-2019. LPA for MSC-EM LPA for MA-TCAT LPA for MSC-GSCM LPA for MA-SC Self-accreditation of One New Undergraduate Programme and Independent Re-accreditation Panel (IRP) Review of Two Existing Undergraduate Programmes With the acquisition of the PAA status under the area of study and training of “Business and Management”, HSMC’s first self-accredited undergraduate programme, ie, Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in Human Resource Management, was approved by CE-in-Council in July 2018 for launching in 2018-2019. The number of undergraduate programmes offered by the College reached 17. In addition, two IRP Reviews were conducted for two existing undergraduate programmes, namely Bachelor of Management Science and Information Management (Honours) (BMSIM) and Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Data Science and Business Intelligence (BSC-DSBI) in July and August 2018 respectively. The on-site visit to HSMC for the Learning Programme Re-Accreditation (Re-LPA) for these two programmes conducted by HKCAAVQ will take place in January 2019. IRP Review for BMSIM IRP Review for BSC-DSBI Full Implementation of Minor Study Scheme The College implemented a pilot launch of Minor Study Scheme in 2017-2018 for Year-one students opting for a Minor study in selected programmes. After a year of implementation, the College expands the Scheme from the seven selected programmes to all students of HSMC undergraduate programmes in all years with effect from 2018-2019. Currently, a total of 16 Minors are offered by Schools and Departments and more will be offered in 2018-2019. Establishment of a Science Team under the Common Core Curriculum The College stepped up its efforts to strengthen the science component in the common core curriculum by establishing a Science Team under the Common Core Curriculum to develop, deliver and monitor modules on science-related disciplines in 2017-2018. The team is also responsible for organising co-curricular activities in science, such as field trips, seminars and science fairs, to complement the formal curriculum, and to further increase students' awareness ofthe importance of science and its relevance to their everyday life. Diversification of the Study of Foreign Languages and Cultures One of the distinctive new initiatives of HSMC Strategic Plan 2018-2023 is to “diversify the study of foreign languages and culture in order to meet students’ and society’s needs”. To carry through this initiative, the College has shifted the domain of European languages, including French, German and Spanish, from the Department of Social Science to the School of Translation in 2017-2018. This change will facilitate creation of added synergy among the teaching, learning and research on languages as well as the socio- cultural phenomena behind linguistic transfer. On top of all existing European language modules, modules related to the language and culture of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) will be launched in the coming years. Innovative Teaching, Learning and Research Teaching and Learning The College, in 2017-2018, established two centres, namely the Institute for Youth Sustainability Leadership of HSMC and the Wu Jieh Yee Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, to support students’ learning and provide resources and learning space to facilitate their studies. Establishment of Institute for Youth Sustainability Leadership (IYSL) The IYSL aspires to be one of Hong Kong’s major initiatives for mobilising young people to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through youth education and empowerment. Its vision is to nurture the youth to be problem-solvers and shapers of the future, and guide them to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development. The Institute also aims to be a hub sharing knowledge, expertise, and resources of sustainability development with various stakeholders in the wider community, and to explore collaboration opportunities with nongovernmental organisations for joint events and projects. Set up of Wu Jieh Yee Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WUCIE) The WUCIE was established in the same year with its primary aim to cultivate the innovative and entrepreneurial mindset of the students through a range of functions and activities. It also targets on raising the awareness of the youth and the business executives in Hong Kong for the importance of entrepreneurship, innovative thinking and creativity; as well as sharing and disseminating the best practices of entrepreneurship and creativity education to the wider community. Promotion of Science Education With an aim to promote science education in HSMC, a Science Team under the Common Core Curriculum was set up to build students’ awareness of the importance of science and its relevance to their everyday life; to enhance the qualityof teaching and learning of science education; and to develop co-curriculum of science education including field trips, seminars and science fairs. Set up of Service Learning Section To strive to develop pedagogy of service-learning, ie, a combination of community service and academic learning that allows students to gain a holistic educational experience and to develop as a responsible citizen, the College would set up a new unit, the Service Learning Section under the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) with the funding support by the Quality Enhancement Support Scheme (QESS). The Section is planned to be established in 2018-2019 to facilitate students to develop sustainable and inclusive values for business and society at large. Launch of Sustainable Development Grants and Teaching Development Grants Sustainable Development Grants and Teaching Development Grants (TDG) were newly-launched in 2017-2018. The Sustainable Development Grants was introduced to support teachers to develop teaching and learning initiatives to pursue the SDGs spearheaded by the United Nations in their module learning delivery. It aims at supporting teaching development projects and activities which promote the SDGs in the module learning outcomes and/or pedagogical delivery. The TDG, another funding support, was launched to enhance the quality of teaching and learning as well as enriching students’ learning experience and enhancing language proficiency. Organisation of Teaching Excellence Awards and Induction Programme for New Academic Staff Since 2014-2015, the Teaching Excellence Awards (TEA) has been organised annually to honour distinguished academic staff members. A total number of six teachers were presented the awards at the Graduation Ceremony 2017. Throughout the year, three sharing sessions were conducted by the award recipients to share their valuable experience and tactics on teaching and learning with other teaching colleagues. The TEA Sharing Seminar Series and seminars/workshops relating to teaching trends and promoting culture of innovation and creativity were organised each month for academic staff members and students to keep abreast of educational knowledge and developments. The first Induction Programme for New Academic Staff in teaching and learning was organised in August 2018. The programme, with one forum and three workshops conducted by the College’s experienced teaching staff and external experts, aims to help participants to get familiar with the teaching environment and facilitate them to have a better preparation of teaching. Development of Online Courses To promote e-learning and the effective use of technology in support of teaching and learning, the pilot run of the first HSMC online course, ie, Japanese, was launched in the Summer Term of 2017-2018. Evaluation on students’ feedback was completed with enhancement of the course content for its official launch in the next academic year. Several more online courses would be explored to further extend the frontiers of e-learning. Revamp of Outcome-based Teaching and Learning (OBTL) Webpage During the year, the OBTL webpage was revamped not solely for the use by the College’s academic/teaching staff members, but to provide more useful and informative details to both staff and students. Professor Lilian Kwan, the Vice-President of Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University, was invited to create a new section “Student Corner” to be presented from student perspectives. Useful explanation of terminologies, eg, PILO, MILO, Alignment, Rubrics, etc, were incorporated to introduce the notions and concept of OBTL and to facilitate students to understand how OBTL be related to teaching and learning. Research External and Internal Research Funding Support HSMC’s academic staff’s commitment to research excellence is proved by the encouraging results of external funding secured in 2017-2018. For the Competitive Research Funding Schemes for the Local Self-financing Degree Sector (2018-2019 Exercise) released by the Research Grants Council (RGC), the College secured a total funding of HK$8.5 million for 13 projects, the highest number of funded research projects among all local self-financing degree-granting institutions. The funding was granted to 11 projects under the Faculty Development Scheme (FDS) and two projects under the Inter-Institutional Development Scheme (IIDS). In addition to two established internal funding to staff members, ie, the College Research Start-up Fund and the Strategic Development Grant, a new student-oriented funding, the Student Independent Research Grant was introduced under the reporting year with the objective to develop students’ innovation, research and problem-solving capability as well as to support them to conduct independent interdisciplinary research projects. Set up of Centre for Greater China Studies Funded by the RGC under the Institutional Development Scheme, the Centre for Greater China Studies was established in 2017-2018 aiming at enhancing interdisciplinary research that highlights the rise of China and its impact on the rest of the world with two major objectives, ie, to serve as a research platform to formulate and promote Greater China studies at HSMC, and to facilitate academic exchange and co-operation between local and international scholars. HSMC REVIEW 2017-2018 41 Scholarly Activities During the year, a wide range of scholarly activities, research-related seminars and experience-sharing sessions were organised targeting academic staff, students, industries and the general public, such as, the HSMC Global Humanities Initiative and Workshop; and the International Conference on Management as a Liberal Art – Revitalisation and Localisation, both in October 2017; the Seminar on Challenges and Opportunities in Maritime Disputes in November 2017; Greater Bay Area Symposium – Logistics and Trade Facilitation in December 2017; 6th INFORMS Transportation Science and Logistics Society Workshop on E-Commerce and Urban Logistics in January 2018; Augmented Reality Public Art Initiative Events in March 2018; Talk on Socio-economic Development in Iran in April 2018; TED X HSMC: InterVIEW in May 2018; the 27th World Business Congress in June 2018; Managing People in Times of Social Transformation: An International and Cross Regional Border Perspective Workshop in July 2018; HSMC Fintech Symposium – Disruptive Innovation in Financial Services in August 2018, to name but a few.

With the concerted efforts across different Schools and Departments, HSMC students actively participated in over 1,000 internships locally and outside Hong Kong. Among the confirmed offers, around 100 were global internships which took place in East and Southeast Asia, Australia, Europe, as well as North and South America. It was remarkable to have students joining internships in Brazil, Hungary, India, Slovakia and South Korea for the first time since the launch of Global Internship Programme in 2014-2015. Diversified career development activities were organised throughout the year to enhance students’ preparedness for employment and connect them with prospective employers across industries. Signature joint-institutional events, including the launch of JINESS portal, JINESS Careers Fair and Career Summit, essentially promoted a strong image of quality students and graduates of the self-financing higher education institutions to the employment sector. Through joining the in-house recruitment talks, career seminars and workshops, alumni sharing sessions, Careers Mentorship Programme and Career Leap Club, students were enlightened and encouraged to explore the industries and job functions they were interested in, for landing a satisfying career upon graduation. HSMC students won high praise from employers for their initiatives to learn and take on responsibilities, and their eagerto-work attitude. "The student intern from HSMC possesses excellent communication and language skills. She is exceptionally good and talented in terms of copy-writing and translation." Hong Kong Arts Centre Hong Kong “Hoffman is an incredible asset to the team. He has displayed great passion, enthusiasm, diligence, professionalism and initiative during the internship. Hoffman’s pleasant attitude, humility and eagerness to learn will assure him of future success.” Hong Kong Tourism Board Singapore “We found Jasmine to be a bright and friendly student with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. With great analytical power, she was able to grasp quickly the tasks assigned to her and organise her work in an orderly manner. She was capable to work independently, with minimal supervision, and yet deliver great results.” Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (Berlin) Germany Students Joining Internship Programme “Rotating through various departments in OOCL, I came to understand the operations throughout the container shipping company. For me, the most exciting experience was a visit to the OOCL in Egypt, one of their container ships. This valuable experience has broadened my horizons and raised my enthusiasm towards the maritime shipping industry. Interning in Singapore, I also got the chance to communicate with people of different races. This internship has not only consolidated what I learnt in the College; it has also enhanced my interpersonal skills and shaped me into a well-rounded person.” Cilla, CHANG Wing-sze BBA-Supply-Chain Management Orient Overseas Container Line, Singapore “Spending six weeks as an intern at Sydney Harbour Kayaks was a delightful experience. The company offers kayak rental and touring services to visitors. To attract more visitors from China, I helped design a Chinese webpage of the company, produced social media posts to promote their services, and kept a close monitor on these platforms. As part of my work, I could enjoy paddling in the beautiful harbour along with the tourists. Also, by joining the kayaking eco-tour, I got the opportunity to enrich my knowledge about the Australian history. All in all, I think this internship has offered me an authentic Australian experience.” Stephen, LEUNG Hok-pang (First right) BBA Sydney Harbour Kayaks, Australia “It was a great experience working at CENIT, a research institute and think tank oriented around finding sustainable and innovative solutions for urban transportation. As an intern, my job responsibilities were to conduct research and draft CENIT’s newsletters. I learnt a lot about public transportation around the world - about how various systems worked and how they could affect people’s daily lives. The sunny weather, passionate people, friendly colleagues and tasty tapas that I encountered in Spain made for a truly unforgettable experience. An extra bonus was that my Spanish was greatly enhanced after staying in the country for two months.” Viola, SIN Ho-ka (Second left) Journalism and Communication Centre for Innovation in Transport (CENIT), Spain Students Joining Careers Mentorship Progamme and Career Leap Club “Apart from sharing his profound working experience with me, my Mentor always cheered me up and answered professionally on whatever questions I raised. Through joining various events with him, I found my communication skill and self-confidence improved a lot. He was a great Mentor and truly a role model to me.” Tiffany, IP Wing-lam (Second left) BA–English Career Mentor: Mr K F KWAN Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centre “The Careers Mentorship Programme allowed me to interact with Mentors who were very knowledgeable and experienced in the corporate field. I had a chance to observe the daily work routine and challenges faced by a corporate senior management. My Mentor was a very kind and diligent person who always encouraged me to try my best and be a better person. It was my honour to be his mentee.” Connie, MA Hong-yi (Right) BBA–Management Career Mentor: Mr Vincent TAM New World Development Company Limited “The Career Leap Club (CLC) was a great platform which enabled me to learn and to improve. The CLC workshops on various topics, eg, interview skills and business etiquettes, were informative and practical. By engaging in different activities, my job searching, interviewing and social skills were enhanced. Also, from the sharing of different advisors, I realised that all roads led to Rome. There would be no direct and straight path for career success but we would have to try and work hard for it. CLC motivated me to strive for the best.” Simon, KAN Shing-yui (Second left) BBA Industry Advisor: Mr Envel LEUNG OOCL Logistics “I am glad to be a member of the CLC, which has provided me with great insight on different career fields. Through the CLC programme, I was introduced to my advisor, an accounting professional, and he gave me thoughtful advice on my career pathway. By interacting with different advisors, I learnt more about the essential networking skills in both casual and business settings, and had a clearer mind about my future goals.” Beatrice, WONG Hiu-lam (Second left, front row) BBA Industry Advisor: Mr Steve CHEUNG KPMG Global Connections and Exchange Programmes To embrace internationalisation, the College has been active in engaging in a wide spectrum of activities including building new relationships and consolidating old ones with international tertiary institutions, promoting exchange programmes with students and Departments alike, as well as implementing cultural diversity on campus. Global Partnerships In 2017-2018, the number of overseas partners reached 62 with new partnerships established with Western Sydney University (Australia), Université Saint-Louis-Bruxelles (Belgium), College of Law and Business (Israel), Seinan Gakuin University (Japan), Korea University Sejong Campus (South Korea), Vilnius University (Lithuania), The Hague University of Applied Scienies (the Netherlands), University of Adger (Norway) and Kristianstad University (Sweden) respectively. Close Ties with Overseas Partners and Institutions In the reporting period, HSMC was delighted to have received delegations from Australia, Belgium, Israel, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, Sweden, the UK, the US and Vietnam. At the same time, the College had sent delegations to Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, the UK, the US and Vietnam for collaboration enhancement and attended overseas expositions to keep abreast of new developments in international education. Enjoy Cross-Cultural Learning Experience in Summer Around 300 students gained valuable overseas learning experiences by participating in a variety of short-term exchange programmes. Some gained language training through attending courses in China, Oxford University and University of British Columbia. Others applied classroom knowledge in practical settings to develop civic engagement skills outside Hong Kong when conducting service-learning trips to Cambodia and Taiwan. The HSMC Badminton team took part in the 22nd China University Badminton Championship in Wuhan. Many students also enjoyed summer cultural exchange programmes offered by HSMC's partners in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. HSMC also sent students to University of California, Los Angeles to broaden their knowledge during the Summer Sessions. Grow and Glow through Exchange Programmes In this academic year, the College received its first batch of exchange students from Austria and Sweden while sending for the first time students to Latvia, Sweden and Switzerland. For incoming students, the College offered them Lion Dance classes, among other integration activities, to provide them an opportunity to understand traditional Chinese celebrations. Those who completed the classes put on a well-received performance with local students at the International Day held on 25 October 2017. All in all, inbound exchange students have actively participated in various activities and one of them won the female student champion of the “HSMC FunD Run for U” Challenge Run on 15 April 2018. For HSMC exchange students headed to institutions in 14 different locations around the globe, they gained much international exposure and returned with loads of good memories and learning experiences. Students Joining Exchange Programme “My experience at HSMC has been beyond amazing. I felt so welcomed from the very beginning with my local buddies helping me get adjusted every step of the way! I ran for my School’s cross-country team and so I was delighted to be connected with HSMC’s cross-country team here and to join a road relay race team with some local HSMC students, as well as “HSMC FunD Run for U” race. The whole event was so much fun and had such a wonderful and supportive atmosphere!” Brittany JACKSON (Right) Concordia University, Canada “I decided to participate in the lion dance because I thought it would be fun to learn more about the roots of the Chinese culture. The dance seemed difficult on the first lesson, but we soon came to find out that once you get the hang of it, it is really fun and easy to do. The fact that the exchange students were also allowed to make the music for our final performance was the cherry on the pie. This really made it OUR dance and it made us feel even more proud. I think that the best part was to give something back to the locals. We enjoyed being here so much, so it was an honour to be able to give something back and to show respect to the Chinese culture.” Nanne UFFEN (Second left) Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, the Netherlands “My host institution is one of the oldest business schools in France. The fact that it is in Paris based in the major business district of Europe makes me believe that no one would want to miss it. My school life has been a great journey, from getting to know the exchange students, locals, teachers, to building a strong relationship with each other. I took part in one of the Markstrat Simulation inclass competition in which each team was asked to manage their own product portfolio, R&D projects, positioning, pricing and distribution channels. I believed this competition summed up the friendship with the local students as I was the only exchange student to be grouped with them. We had many ups and downs in our business company. However, the important element I have learnt is the way we have trusted each other and managed to get the 2nd position despite having a bad start.” Hamza Saghir ASLAM (Second left) BSC-Data Science and Business Intelligence To EDC Paris Business School, France “Canada is a multicultural country where contains a lot of varieties. It congregates different cultures and races but still it is to me the most peaceful country in the world. Because of this, it is already a good reason to get a closer contact with those cultures just in one place. The journey is memorable and remarkable for me. Every day I was surrounded by friends with totally different backgrounds and they completely broadened my horizons. We had countless fun and memories which were unique and special. Other than friends, my professors and classmates were all very kind that they embraced every single person.” Oscar, CHUNG Chak-wai BA-English To Concordia University, Canada Student Development and Residential College (RC) Programmes Service-learning Programmes VolTrekkers Service-learning Award and Training Scheme With the unfailing support from Hong Kong Shun Lung Yan Chak Foundation, VolTrekkers Service-learning Award and Training Scheme has come to its second year, offering local and overseas service-learning opportunities to HSMC students. Award Scheme The award scheme was joined by a total of 33 participants throughout January to June 2018. In the first part of the programme, participants initiated and designed their local service projects between January and March 2018, targeting service recipients including the elderly, ethnic minority, patients with mental illnesses and secondary school students. With the criteria on the impact and students’ learning reflection of the local service projects, 15 students were selected to participate in the second part of the programme, the overseas service-learning trip to Cambodia held from 17 to 24 June 2018. Prior to the trip, participants were fully engaged in the preparation including programme design to cater for the needs of service recipients in Cambodia. In addition to serving the community, the trip also enabled participants to experience the local way of life through living with villagers as well as to understand the local culture and social structure through cultural exploration. Training Scheme The training scheme offered students opportunities to reach out to the underprivileged, with hands-on experience in itinerary planning, service design and coordination. Students engaged not only as participants but as volunteer leaders, working closely with NGOs to initiate local services. In collaboration with Asia University, Taiwan, the “Hong Kong x Taiwan Service-learning Exchange Programme” ran from 2 to 14 July 2018. Fifteen HSMC students and 15 Taiwan students joined together as a team to serve both communities. In Hong Kong, students paid visits to the homeless and residents in subdivided flats, and interacted with children of lowincome families. The reciprocal trip to Taiwan also gave students valuable chances to serve the elderly and children suffering from spinocerebellar ataxia and mentally handicapped. Apart from services, students engaged actively in sharing sessions and had fruitful discussions to review support services for the disadvantaged groups and reflect on the social responsibilities of youths. HSMC Volunteer Team Served a Children Eye Care Programme In 2017-2018, the HSMC Volunteer Team was invited to provide volunteer support to a three-year service programme which aimed to improve local eye care services for children. This programme, organised by The Chinese University of Hong Kong and sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club, provided free and comprehensive eye examinations to children aged six to eight and their families. Over 80 students participated in the service programme and were offered a wide range of experimental learning opportunities. In addition to supporting the programme which included assisting doctors to perform eye screening, compiling survey, and providing guidance and support to the participating parents and their children, students also acted as leaders and mentors to supervise a group of secondary school students to perform the volunteer duties. It was encouraging to learn that over 30 volunteering students completed at least six service sessions on Saturday/Sunday and contributed over 1,100 service hours in this programme. Student Ambassadors Programme The Student Ambassadors Programme has come to its seventh year, with 31 outstanding students from nine different programmes selected in the reporting year. To demonstrate and spread the “To Learn and To Serve” spirit, Student Ambassadors actively participated in different training to equip themselves with various soft skills. Through providing support at major College events,eg, President Forum cum Founders’ Day Ceremony and Reception, Programme Consultation Day and Summer Academy, etc, they demonstrated their professionalism as the ambassadors of the College. Besides training and services, Student Ambassadors went on an exchange trip to Chaoshan between 28 and 31 May 2018. During the trip, they had the opportunities to communicate and share experience of their campus life with students from Shantao University. The exchange trip not only consolidated what they had learnt throughout the year, but also strengthened their team bonding and sense of belonging to the College. RC Programme - The Council Chairman Bowl With the generous support from the Council Chairman, Dr Moses Cheng, the Council Chairman Bowl was instituted this year and awarded to the overall champion of the inter-RC competitions, to foster the inter-RC interactions and sportsmanship. The Council Chairman Bowl consisted of five inter-RC competitions which were organised throughout the year of 2017-2018:Tug of War, Badminton, 4 x 100 Relay, Dodgeball and Basketball. Besides, to encourage and enhance the participation of female residents, sports events with less physical strength required were introduced and a certain proportion of female players was made obligatory this year. A prize presentation ceremony was held for the Council Chairman Bowl after the final game of the Inter-RC Basketball Competition. Before announcing the results, Dr Cheng shared with students his belief and insights on the importance of organising and participating in inter-RC events. The first Council Chairman Bowl went to Evergreen College with two championships achieved among all inter-RC competitions. RC Programme - Theme-based Education Programmes Live Green Together With an aim to promote life education and sustainability in the community, Evergreen College had organised “Live Green Together” with the funding sponsored by the Board of Management of the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries. Since September 2017, an organic farming activity at the RC was launched to engage students to promote the environmental awareness. To achieve the goal of education through environment and to embrace sustainability as worldview, several programmes were organised including Life Garden x Visit to Elderly Centre; eco-and-cultural tour to Lai Chi Wo in the exploration of Hakka villages; a campfire party in the hope of having a taste of green living; and a talk about the wild flowers by Ms Ip Hiu-man,the author of “尋花”. Wing Chun Class Sponsored by Sin Wai Kin Chinese Culture Promotion Scheme, the weekly Wing Chun Class was organised by Wellness College throughout the year 2017-2018. The Chinese martial arts not only attracted students to follow the Master of Wing Chun for practice, but also appealed to staff and faculty members to experience this treasure of Chinese culture. Exploring Hakka@Evergreen College To learn about Hakka culture in Hong Kong, a project “Exploring Hakka@Evergreen College” was launched with the funding sponsored by Sin Wai Kin Chinese Culture Promotion Scheme. Outing activities, including visits to the feng-shui forest in Sha Tau Kok and the area of Chinese Eaglewood to understand the existing trees related to the Hakka culture; and a visit to local Hakka Villages to interact with Hakka descendants, were organised for students to explore the journey of the 300 years of Hakka history and appreciate its culture in Hong Kong. The Art of Tea The Project, initiated by Amity College and funded by Sin Wai Kin Chinese Culture Promotion Scheme, comprised of a series of workshops on the art of tea. Students were invited to learn about the history, theory and professional knowledge of the appreciation of tea, as well as the techniques of making tea with the guidance of professional instructors. Participants were also excited for being offered a set of professional tools and equipment to experience the tea culture. Sentimental Grandparent Scheme Sponsored by the S H Ho Foundation With the support from the S H Ho Foundation Limited, the Sentimental Grandparent Scheme continued to be held in 2017-2018. Participants were required to attend a pre-visit training workshop in which they could try to experience similar obstacles faced by the elderly via some simulation games. Afterwards, they were paired up with the elderly from SAGE Madam Ho Sin Hang Home for the Elderly to produce a tailor-made “life-story book” for the elderly through several visits to listen to their life journeys. Joint RCs and Old Hall Chinese New Year Fair A Chinese New Year Fair was jointly organised by the four RCs and the Old Hall on the Chinese Valentine's Day, 2 March 2018, which attracted the participation of both local and non-local exchange students. The Fair was kicked off by a traditional lion dance performance by members from Yiu On Integrated Rehabilitation Services Centre and followed by band and singing performances by students. Participants had an enjoyable evening shuttling among booths with games and festive food.

Except grabbing knowledge in normal classes, there were also opportunities in writing such as joining poetry and review writing competitions which I enjoyed a lot during my studies. I had an impressive journey for my career development. Summer internship was one of the memorable parts to share and such experience provided me cues to create my future career plan. Individual career advisory sessions were very useful and practical as well. The College also encouraged our personal development through different means. The Peer Mentor Scheme I joined in my second year shaped me as a more caring and sociable person. I was glad to be there! To sum up the above by one phrase, “various and sundry” would be fair enough to describe my colourful four-year college life at HSMC." CHAN Yin-shing (Left) Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English "Four years come to an end in a snap of finger. I used to long for my graduation so that I can kiss goodbye to school and studies as well as being called a student. However, when all these happened, I started to realise how much I would be missing HSMC. All my best memories of my studies lie in this school, such as all the friendship and hard efforts paid in studies. I could not be thankful enough for all the knowledge and experience I acquired in my four-year undergraduate education. All these equipped me sufficiently to start my career in journalism. I learnt from the studies how important the duty of a journalist could be and the significant impact we could exert. I could also exploit my potential in design. In the future, I wish to pursue further studies in a more advanced level of journalism. School time will always be missed." CHEUNG Jung-yeung Bachelor of Journalism and Communication (Honours) "Looking back to the past four years, I am so grateful for studying at HSMC. The Programme left me with an in-depth understanding of statistics and business knowledge, which provided me with the foundations for my proficiency in these two areas. Besides, I have built up relationships with friends and teachers at HSMC. They helped me a lot through the journey of my degree studies. I really appreciate their kindness and guidance, which helped improve and develop myself. HSMC provided me with a great environment for self-development with diversified opportunities, which served as a landmark for my future." KONG Man-chung (Right) Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Data Science and Business Intelligence "Time flies! Though it's time to say goodbye to the campus life at HSMC, I would never forget every precious moment and the people whom I met here. I am grateful to be one of the graduates of the BBA-Corporate Governance programme. Apart from the professional knowledge that the professors taught me, I was also encouraged to participate in various activities/competitions to fully equip myself for the future. I am honoured to be one of the executive committee members of the 1st SACG in which I met a group of good teammates, as did in my exchange and internship in CNU and DOJ respectively. All these have enriched my four-year life at HSMC. I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all professors, friends and my family for their endless support. Dear friends and classmates, congratulations and wish you every success in your future." TAM Pui-kei Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in Corporate Governance "We are all sailors on this great voyage. We met our peers and captains leading us through every thrilling adventure. Spared no efforts in making every second count, we accomplished the unimaginable in the past four years. Meeting people and managing deadlines and part-time jobs at the same time, we grew strong and seasoned. Though the storms kept smashing our lifeboats, we clung to the lifeline and rode out. Every semester was completed with joy and passion towards study and future. Storms can always be weathered. With no maps or compasses of life, it is our time to cast our anchor, make ourselves the captain and translate every challenge into an opportunity. Aye, welcome aboard." Gallant, WONG Kwok-lun (Third left, front row) Bachelor of Translation with Business (Honours) Master’s Degree Programme "Seeking a good college and good professors are much more difficult than finding the fittest target text matching the source text. In HSMC, we TRUST! Our MA-TBL professional teachers tailor-made the greatest learning experience fitting each student. No matter you are layman or expert, you will be one of the professionals at the end of the lecture or in the near future! I found my perfect match, and you?" Christie, LAM Man-ting Master of Arts in Translation (Business and Legal) Dynamic Public Engagement and Advancement Advancement 1 September 2017 Presentation of Dr S H Ho Scholarship in Banking and Finance The Convocation for New Students 2017/2018 marked the establishment of the Dr S H Ho Scholarship in Banking and Finance with a generous donation of HK$18 million from the S H Ho Foundation as an endowment fund.
