true in the experience of two UST alumni. Evelyn Au, a marketing graduate, joined MTR Corporation as a Persmmel Officer after graduating. She felt that team work had helped improve her communication skills. "The group
project in our course on marketing strategy
forced us to work together towards a goal, so I learned how to communicate and work with others," says Evelyn.

is paper quality. The recycled paper we used for the last two issues of

UST Students Scoop Service Awards
'1=)
espite the award ceremony taking place on AprilFools Day, HKUST's three winners of Outstanding
Serv-ices Awards are certaiitly no fools. Jacky Leung Wai Kin,
Ada Chan Nga Yee, and Francis Lo Tat Chi joined the 12
other dedicated and community-miI1ded wiimers at HKBU
to receive their $5,000 awards this Monday. This yeai; 90
candidates from eight tertiaiy institutions applied for the
awards. TI1e awards are administered by the HK Student
Services Association and have been sponsored by the
In-novations Fund since they were established fom years ago.
Each yeai; candidates are assessed by a tough
selec-tion panel formed by representatives from the Student
Af-fairs Offices of several institutions. Awards ai·e made iI1 recognition of their active participation in extra-cmricular activities and their leadership potential.
"HKUST should be very proud of these three
stu-dents," says Bonnie L.S. Cheng, Student AffaiI·s Officer.
"Despite the heavy workload and tin1e management
prob-lems that all UST students complaiI1 of, Ada, Wai Kin, and Francis always have a positive attitude and have made a
remarkable contribution to student life." Jacky Leung Wai Kin, 3rd year BBA (ACCT)
"I like hiking, and I spend a lot of time teaching
oth-ers hikiI1g skills, like map-reading, campiI1g skills, safety and how to keep the countryside clean. Around once a
month I go out with a group of secondary school
stu-dents, mostly organized by
the Hong Kong Federation
of Youth Groups and on top of these I help nm courses. I already have my bronze and
silver Duke of Edinburgh
Awards, so I'm helping train up people in the UST Duke
of Edinburgh Award group
while I go for my gold.
"I know the secondary
school students are the future iinportant people iI1 Hong
Kong. I just want to let them know they have very high
potential and help them to use it fully.
"I am going to use the award money to save towards
a summer holiday to Eastern Europe with a group of
friends, just to go sightseeing and maybe compete in some
orienteeriI1g competitions."
Ada Chan Nga Yee, 2nd year BBA (MARK)
"I decided when I came to University that I didn't want to be a student who just studies. My activities really help my studies. When I concentrate on organizing
func-tions, I forget all about my studies and then when I open

Stu-dents' Association and external secretary for SU in last session.
"Since beiI1g awarded
this award I will become a
member of the Hong Kong
Outstanding Tertiary
Stu-dents' Services Association
(HKOTSSA). I want to have this chance to really experi-ence what social service means and if I could I would like to help the secondary school students know more about social services.
"Some people iI1 Hong Kong are very lucky, they have
all the thiI1gs they want and it's easy for them to think
everything is easy. VolunteeriI1g in social services could give them some iI1sight in their lives. I want to have more insight.

Francis Lo Tat Chi, 3rd year CENG
"My school put emphasis on all round education, so
I was involved iI1 activities there, iI1cluding organizing the
Joint School
Leader-ship Training Camp.
When I came to UST
I became chairman of
the founding CENG society, among other
things, then I became president of the SU.
Being president has
been my most
unfor-gettable experience.
"I am looking forward to being a member of the
HKOTSSA. This group of people are yolmg, they have
ini-tiative, they are capable, and they have got vision in our
society. As I do not have much experience on social
serv-ices (most in the past was serving in the school and
uni-versity.) I will learn from the current members. This group of people is willing to serve society and I hope the group will enlarge year by year and more yolmg people will real-ise their responsibility to society.
"I will use part of the award money to invite my Un-ion colleagues to have diimer. Then I thought I would buy
something for the Union because I got this award because
of the Union. I am also thinkiI1g about giving something to
my alma mater, because my personal development, both
academic and core values, were mainly developed there."
