Profile of a Graduate III

- a story

set in the year 2006

In the spring of 1988, at the inauguration of the HKUST Council, the audience came in black tie and evening gowns expecting to hear a very forma1 speech. I proceeded to

surprise them with a fanciful little tale called “Profile of a W~~eCI~~~lt~h~~l~~~~~~iott:~~IP4Q~~f~~ Graduate”. The story was set 13 years in the future-in the ~;~~~---la~I~~~~~n~~~~~_m~I~~~~7j(~~ year 2001. It was about Mr LO Wing Keung, a young man

who had entered HKUST in 1993, graduated in 1996 with a double major in Chemistry and Computer Science, pursued applied research for a few years, and then formed a joint venture with the University. As the story opened, he found himself in a shuttle bus between the Tseung Kwan 0 MTR terminal and the University campus, reminiscing about how his world had developed.

The story introduced another character: Wing Keung’s girl friend Carol, once again known by her name at birth on the Mainland - FAN Jialu. Jialu became the star of the show in “Profile of a Graduate II”, a sequel which I delivered at the 1996 Congregation. The setting of that episode was again 2001. Jialu, a history graduate from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was doing her MBA at HKUST. She had just decided that she liked the academic life, and would later pursue a doctoral degree in marketing and embark on a teaching career. Her ambition clashed with what Wing Keung had in mind: He needed Jialu to apply

Well, here it is, the new episode: “Profile of a Graduate III”. It takes place in the year 2006.

(7)

Wing Keung’s start-up company had a flying start. He was able to hire a number of very able graduates from the University’s world-class School of Science and School of Engineering. During the period 1999 to 2000, on account of the unexpected Asian financial crisis, there emerged in Hong Kong the long-awaited economic transition and a new culture that favored high technology. Many faculty members, alumni, and students became hi-tech entrepreneurs. Some 20 start-ups were launched, a la Silicon Valley. The University’s strategic partnerships in Shenzhen, formed earlier in anticipation of such developments, now offered both the academics and the entrepreneurs room to grow at affordable cost. As a result, 12 of those 20 start- ups now straddled both sides of the border, with their headquarters and creative research firmly entrenched in the Entrepreneurship Center on campus, and much of their development and production work based in the Shenzhen Hi-Tech Industrial Park across the border. By 2001, Wing Keung’s company had joined the crowd. He figured that, sooner or later, the two cities would join together and become one great metropolis, forming the core of what the world would call the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Bay Area.

His hopes for Jialu to help manage his company were dashed. However, it turned out for the better: less chance for disagreement at work, and less stress at home. By then, HKUST’s world-ranked School of Business and Management (SBM) was producing a huge pool of talent. So Wing Keung was able to hire well. His Chief Financial Officer, for example, was a graduate of the much-admired Executive MBA program, a middle-aged man with an in- depth knowledge of both theory and practice who was willing to sacrifice a high salary for stock options in the start-up.

The GEM (Growth Enterprise Market), Hong Kong’s newly established version of Nasdaq, gave Wing Keung’s company an opportunity to go public and raise capital. Earlier, Hongkongers’ habit of aggressive speculation had given GEM quite a scare: roller-coaster rides in that new capital market could have seriously damaged the SAR’s reputation if unchecked. Fortunately, good sense prevailed. Most of GEM’s participants did survive. By 2003, several proved to be spectacular successes.

Well, Wing Keung was not too happy with the valuation

(8)

of his company when it went public in 2004, but he took comfort from the fact that his investors were realistic and solid. He got less money but better money. By 2006, his company was well on its way to becoming a successful and reliable local hi-tech firm which, though not a “high flyer”, contributed to the establishment of Hong Kong’s modem industrial base.

Let us turn now to Jialu. She completed her MBA in 2002 and was admitted to SBM’s doctoral program. The MBA had not been easy for her (as I mentioned in the first episode of this saga) because her background in the humanities did not prepare her sufficiently for HKLISTs quantitative and analytical approach towards management education. With Wing Keung’s loving assistance and two years of very hard work, she was able to overcome the difficulty. Jialu’s doctoral study in marketing, though scientific in methodology and heavily IT-based, turned out to be less taxing. Her choice of pursuing marketing research with a China orientation was particularly wise: her undergraduate study in history had given her a much deeper appreciation of Chinese culture than many of her classmates. Also, history as a discipline had given her keener insights about human nature and about the world’s many diverse cultures. She realized that marketing had remained culture-based even in this day and age when people depended heavily on technology.

In the fall of 2006, Jialu received her PhD degree and began her teaching and research career as an Assistant Professor jointly appointed by HKUST and Peking University (RI). This would be for two years, after which her appointment would be between HKUST and the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Such split arrangements would not have been possible in earlier times; but, as a result of the close alliance between HKUST and PU since 1998, many joint and adjunct appointments had been made between these two premier universities. While Jialu spent one semester every year in Beijing, a young PU faculty member came to HKUST under a similar arrangement. The in situ experience enriched the research of both young scholars, and endowed the students they taught with much broader perspectives. Many HKUST-PU joint appointments were permanent. However, for Jialu, it

(9)

had to be limited to two years because she and Wing Keung planned to start a family. Tea for two, a boy and a girl, and all that.

Back in Hong Kong, the academic cooperation between HKUST and CUHK that began in 1999 had flourished to such an extent that not only were many classes shared, but also some of the faculty members. Jialu was very happy to receive a joint appointment that allowed her to contribute to both of the universities she loved.

So, Wing Keung and Jialu were well set for a challenging career each, and a family they would share. Who would take care of the children when they appeared on the scene? Whose career would come first if at some time a choice had to be made? Life was, as I indicated in previous episodes, so full of opportunities but so full of questions. Wing Keung and Jialu would just have to face the questions and solve them as they arose, wouldn’t they? And I am sure you would offer them suggestions.

In this sequel I will introduce yet one more character. This character entered HKUST in 1997---the year Hong Kong returned to her motherland, and graduated in the fall of 2000. S( he) received a solid education at HKUST. S( he) saw HKUST mature into what was truly the premier research university in China and the Asia-Pacific region. S(he) appreciated the University’s strategy of remaining relatively small and focused, of expanding its scope of offering through cooperation with sister institutions locally, and of strengthening its research expertise and entrepreneurship by continuing to appoint top scholars to its faculty. S(he) supported the formation of alliances with like-minded, top- quality institutions on the Mainland, and the efforts to maintain the quality of teaching, research, and service at the world’s forefront by putting to use its extensive international network-especially in East Asia, North America, and Western Europe. S(he) would stay in touch and grow with the University, and carve out her/his place in the hometown and the country which s(he) proudly calls her/his own. Armed with knowledge, confidence, and youthful exuberance, s( he) would go out and conquer the world.

;R/\ICM%tg~~ EIGHTH CONGREGATION I 7

(10)

Will the next episode be fulfilling and exciting? I don’t know. You would have to tell me, for that character-the Graduate profiled in “III”-is you. What do you intend to do with your life between now and 20062 Would you please complete the story for us?

To be fair, I must fill you in on some additional background.

During the past year, under the leadership of the new Council Chairman, the University came up with a rejuvenated Statement on Mission, Vision, and Objectives. A complete Academic Review was released, comparing what the University had achieved against what the founders had hoped. Academic Development Proposals for the 2001- 2004 triennium were submitted in accordance with the University Grants Committee’s funding cycle. A Resource Inventory and Needs Assessment was taken, to estimate what the University would require in the coming years in order to realize its high aspirations.

The University has concluded yet another partnership agreement with Peking University and the Shenzhen Municipal Government-to build a world-class medical center across the border. This medical center would provide health services and education, offer PhD and MD training, engage in research in both basic and clinical sciences, facilitate technology transfer, and conduct entrepreneurial activities, all for the benefit of the people in the Hong Kong- Shenzhen Bay Area. It would not surprise me if the siblings of Wing Keung and Jialu someday found themselves studying or working at this medical center. Perhaps you will as well.

The University resolved to place renewed emphasis on a number of high-impact areas of scholarship, including but not limited to: China Business and Management, Coastal Atmosphere and Marine Environment, Cultural Studies, e-Commerce, e-Manufacturing, Energy, History of South China, Infrastructure Development, Internet Technology, Microsystems, Nanostructure Materials, Neuroscience, Online Education, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. You would undoubtedly recognize these and many other offerings at HKUST as most relevant to Hong Kong’s needs, as we step into what the world calls the New Economy and Knowledge Society.

(11)

The University has just entered its tenth year. We are in the process of consolidating our past achievements and present strengths into a firm platform from which we can take off and soar. A leadership change is about to take place, with fresh personalities and enlightened minds coming onto the scene to take the University into a new era. Many of the founding members of the University have labored hard, and I believe wisely, to give the University an unprecedented fast start and to build a solid foundation for teaching and research. They have helped accelerate Hong Kong’s economic transition, earned the respect of the worldwide academic community, and mapped out the University’s development strategy. They will soon initiate a campaign to find new resources for the University’s new leadership. Many of these founding members have retired, or are about to step aside. We have no doubt that you, the University’s youngest alumni, will give your full support to the new leadership, so that every scholar or student who comes through this citadel of learning will have the opportunity to contribute substantively to the betterment of life for all.

Now, how would you work these background materials into the next episode in our continuing saga?

My guess is that you, the new star of the show, would tell us that you have taken off and soared with your alma mater. From up high, you have seen far and wide. You have found the rainbow I promised you in 1388, and you would tell us what lies ahead beyond the blue horizon.

How high, indeed, can you fly? There is no limit in sight.

Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences. A pioneer in China’s semiconductor science, Professor Huang led five major mainland universities to jointly run a program on semiconductors in 1956, which trained the first generation of semiconductor experts in China.

At the Institute of Semiconductors, Professor Huang created an active academic atmosphere that emphasized fundamental research. He himself also entered another phase of scientific breakthroughs. In 1983, Professor Huang solved a long-standing puzzle in non-radiative multiphonon transition theory by explaining the inappropriateness of the Condon approximation. From this he was able to show that the apparently unrelated adiabatic approximation theory and static coupling theory are actually equivalent. The superlattice optical phonon mode model and analytical expressions for the proper modes, recently proposed by Professor Huang and Professor Bang- fen Zhu, are now widely accepted by the international physics community as the “Huang-Zhu model”.

Professor Huang’s contribution as scientist and educator has been profound. The milestones he has reached in phonon physics throughout the decades have greatly benefited the human race and are the pride of the Chinese nation. He is highly respected not only for his academic achievements but also for his ideals and noble character.

Mr Pro-Chancellor, I have the honor to present to you, on behalf of the University, Professor Kun Huang, Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Honorary Director of the Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, for the degree of Doctor of Science honoris causa.

The Honorable Charles Lee Yeh-kwong was once asked how he would like Hong Kong people to remember him

in the years to come. He humbly replied that he didn’t &{&o+~&,~~i&:{&%+&h c+-a_,g@**;tr care if his name would stay on in history; rather, he would ~~~Fi~~~k~~~~~~~9~~C~%~~~~i~~$~t~~

feel most proud if his dedication to public service would inspire future generations to serve the public themselves.

Mr Lee was born in Shanghai in 1936 and moved to ~~;Rl936~~~~~~~~49g~~$~h~ Hong Kong with his family in 1949. Upon graduation from ~~~-~~~~~-Q=~~r;i;;p%~~~~~~~t Wah Yan College he became a certified accountant. He then

Perhaps the most notable example of Mr Lee’s public service record is his appointment as Chairman of the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority since 1998. Mr Lee is now devoting most of his energy to MPF in the run-up to its implementation. It is worth mentioning that Mr Lee accepts no pay for these public duties. In fact, his commitment to volunteerism took root when he, as a young man, performed volunteer work in Hong Kong’s slums.

Mr Lee has also undertaken other public duties. He has been a member of the HKSAR Executive Council since 1997 and member of the Equal Opportunities Commission of Hong Kong since 1996. In the 1990s Mr Lee took an active role in the Community Chest, and remains a vice- patron. He has also been on the councils of two local universities, one of which is HKUST.

In his private career, Mr Lee has been a financial and legal mentor to some of Hong Kong’s corporate legends. In the 1970s he helped companies such as Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai Properties and New World launch their stock flotations. For years he was on the boards of more than 20 listed companies, just as some of them burgeoned into multinational giants. He resigned from all these posts when he became an Executive Councilor.

Mr Lee is a role model of looking beyond personal profits and serving society untiringly.

WANG

Perhaps one the greatest achievements any of us can make in our lifetimes is to contribute to the well being of humankind. Over his long and distinguished career in biotechnology and chemical engineering, Professor Daniel IC Wang has done this.

Professor Wang’s work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) and elsewhere has shed light on the workings of the most basic element of animal and human life: the cell. How does it grow? How does it react when exposed to other cells, elements, and various types of radiation? What causes it to die, and how does its demise affect the cells around it?

Professor Wang has published five books and more than 200 articles on these and other questions, and contributed greatly to the field of biochemical engineering. His research will be used to discover new tests and therapies for human afflictions.

But research is only one aspect of Professor Wang’s work. His teaching has shaped the education of many researchers and process engineers now active in the biotechnology field in the US as well as throughout the world. And his leadership has inspired generations of aspiring professionals who are today making their own contributions to the field of biotechnology.

Professor Wang was born in China, received his BS in chemical engineering in 1959 and MS in biochemical engineering in 1961, both from MIT. He completed his PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in 1363. After two years in the US Army serving in an army biological laboratory, he returned to his alma mater, MIT, as an Assistant Professor in 1365. Professor Wang founded MIT’s Biotechnology Process Engineering Center and served as its Director from 1985 to 1998. He was named an Institute Professor of chemical engineering in 1396.

Over the years, Professor Wang has received numerous awards and honors that recognized his contributions and achievements. He has lectured at numerous symposia and conferences around the world, including delivering the Institute Lecture at the American Institute of Chemical 14 1 ZE/‘\B~~it~~i%~ EIGHTH CONGREGATION

(17)

Engineers in 1986 and last fall, the inaugural address lecture at the Frontiers in Biotechnology conference at MIT.

It is interesting to note that, when asked what he considers to be his greatest achievements, he offers a short list, the first and last of which have to do with his students. Twelve of his past graduate students have received the WH Peterson Award from the American Chemical Society for presenting outstanding research papers at its annual meetings. He is most proud of those who defied the statement “It cannot be done” and proved that it could indeed be done, by taking risks and by persevering.

Having given so much to his MIT students, Professor Wang has in recent years turned his attention to giving something back to his Asian heritage. For example, HKUST is lucky enough to have Professor Wang on the Advisory Board of our Department of Chemical Engineering and the International Advisory Committee of the Biotechnology Research Institute. He was one of the US academics involved in the MIT “Made By Hong Kong” project. He continues to work with HKUST and several other local universities, as well as the Hong Kong Institute of Biotechnology and the Innovation and Technology Commission, on the standardization and certification of Chinese medicine and other biotechnology projects.

Mr Pro-Chancellor, I have the honor to present to you, on behalf of the University, Professor Daniel IC Wang, Institute Professor of chemical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for the degree of Doctor of Engineering honoris causa.

DOCTOR OF HUMANITIES

honoris causa

Professor Cho-Yun Hsu

Citation

In describing Professor Cho-Yun Hsu’s achievements, many scholars of his generation would declare him to be “singular” and “extraordinary” in the academic world. Professor Hsu himself, however, modestly characterizes his work as being “but one leg of a relay to carry the torch in the endless pursuit of knowledge”.

Professor Hsu has devoted his lifetime to the study of Chinese history, achieving great eminence and creating a remarkable body of work. Using structural analysis derived from Western social science theory to explain Chinese history, he has exerted a far-reaching influence upon American Sinology. His major contribution is in the field of ancient history where three of his books in English have become important references for scholars in the West. They are: Ancient China in Transition, History of Western Chou

Civilization, and The Han Agriculture. Each of these books focuses on a particular phase of China’s development, but the emphasis remains on the mutual influence between culture and society.

The scope of Professor Hsu’s works is extensive, ranging from the Shang Dynasty to the Han and spanning over one thousand years. Young students and specialists alike, anyone who intends to engage in the study of this period must refer to his works. In Ancient China in Transition and its Chinese counterpart, Professor Hsu applies statistics to the examination of social change. In his Western Chou studies, Professor Hsu fulfills his consistent aim of combining archaeological and documentary evidence in the re-creation of China’s ancient history.

Professor Hsu’s scholarship is meticulous and at the same time grand in scale; he analyzes Chinese culture and history from a macroscopic perspective. Two of his representative Chinese works are The Deue2opmental Stages

of Chinese Culture and The Special Character of Chinese Culture. He is also particularly interested in cultural comparisons, thereby seeking the unique origins of the development of divergent cultures.

In his early years in Taiwan, Professor Hsu and his peers founded the journal Thought and Language to encourage a new trend in thought and inspire the younger generation. 16 I %l-\ffi%ilh%ifiEsifi EIGHTH CONGREGATION

ADDRESS BY

Professor Cho-Yun Hsu

Entering the New Era

Mr Pro-Chancellor, Mr President, Mr Chairman, distinguished colleagues and guests:

It is an honor indeed to be conferred with a degree by this esteemed institute of high learning. And it is a privilege to speak on behalf of all four of us in this ceremony.

When 1 received a letter from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I was impressed by the fact that we, the recipients, are chosen from distinctive disciplines and professions of great variety. Such a broad range of intellectual interests speaks for this University’s philosophy. The University pays attention to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches of academic engagement as well as to a good balance between research and practice in the public interest. In the world of today, a vision of this wide horizon indeed deserves applause.

We are entering a new era, not just a new millennium on the calendar, but more importantly, this is an era wherein knowledge is to be a force that will carry great momentum to move the world into an exciting future.

My learned colleagues here can tell how much advancement is taking places in their respective fields. In life sciences, genetic studies are making enormous progress that enables scientists to reveal a bit of the secret of the phenomenon of life. In the field of astrophysics and nuclear physics, the constitution of the cosmos is to be comprehended. Meanwhile, a world economic system is rapidly taking shape. A global information network is being woven that will bring all of us a great deal closer to each other. A common concern about the global environmental deterioration is now shared by all of us. All these advances in learning bring us together into a new condition in which a new civilization may be emerging. Moral and ethical values are to be redefined accordingly and public policies are to be reconsidered accordingly.

All these developments compel us to take into consideration the tremendous impact that academic activities can have upon our daily lives. Meanwhile we are under pressure to rethink the important issues which are

(21)

related to our human and social values. These fundamental issues may include the meaning of life, the value of being a member of the human community, the relationship between human society and the ecological system, the boundaries of social and cultural entities to which we belong, the freedom of individuals and the limits on this freedom, the line that separates “public” and “private” lives, . ..the list of questions can be even longer. Yet these questions demand our full attention and reflection.

Yes, we are in a new era of break-down and break- through. Values and concepts that we have inherited from the days of ancient sages and thinkers must now be reexamined. If we make good efforts to organize our knowledge, we may have taken a crucial step to enter a new Axial age, in the terminology of Karl Jasper, the modem positive existentialist philosopher. If we do not undertake this assignment to reflect and to think, we may essentially find that a new civilization which is taking shape now is marked with confusion and disorder.

Academic community should accept this new assignment. The gown and the town must work together to make a truly brave new world. In the history of human societies, there has never been such a time when knowledge is so promisingly powerful yet so intimidatingly formidable. We, who are life members of the academic community, indeed feel both excited and scared. In either case, we must be aware of this ambivalence and respond to the challenge.

Thank you for conferring this honorary degree on me and my colleagues. I also thank you for the opportunity to speak here today.

Address by Graduate Representatives of the School of Engineering

Mr Ka Lok TAM

BEng in Mechanical Engineering

Council Vice-Chairman, President, professors, honored guests, parents, fellow schoolmates, ladies and gentlemen:

Good afternoon! At last, we have passed through three years of hard work. We have survived all the exams, quizzes, never-ending assignments, and projects. We have come through the desperate days of job searching and all those anxious and frustrating moments when we did not hear from our prospective employers. At last the day is here for our graduation. Congratulations to all new graduates!

But can we stop here and take a break? No. I believe fresh graduates like you and I do begin to feel that the pressures of the workplace are even greater than those of studying. Even more intimidating these days is the rapid globalization of the whole world. The Government is actively promoting new information technology education and emphasizing the importance of hi-tech development. But the question really is: will technological advancement make the world more civilized? Will it solve all our problems and bring us true happiness?

Whether technology is good or bad really depends on how it is used. I have heard this analogy: Technological advancement is as fast as an airplane; but progress in moral standards is as slow as a tortoise. In the modern age, people are no longer so afraid of natural disasters or beasts. But the educated and skilled can still commit the most hideous crimes. Internet hackers are one example. If we want to make technological advancement a blessing rather than a curse, we must first raise our moral standards and promote love among fellow human beings.

Love seems very abstract, but it is real. Just take a look at the parents among us today. Are we not basking in their love every day of our lives? Do you sense their happiness and excitement? They are happy because their beloved children have completed their studies and have been awarded their degrees. This could not have been achieved without the unconditional giving and caring of our parents over the past twenty-odd years. I hope that after this graduation ceremony, we will all remember to say thank you to our parents.

To my parents, though, my graduation is not the most important thing. Their greatest wish is to see me grow up to be a healthy, happy, and fulfilled person. They have let me chart my own course and always respected my decisions. Dad, Mom, thank you for the precious love that I will never be able to repay to you; and thank you for forgiving my numerous mistakes. 1 will never forget your selfless love and your guidance.

Besides thanking my parents, I must also express my appreciation for the support given to me by HKUST. 1 remember I had to work individually on a final year project that lasted for a year. Although I worked every night, after half a year 1 still could not see any fruitful results. I became very anxious. But Professor Kim, my supervisor, said to me,

“Things like this happen quite often in research work. So I suggest you change to an easier topic in order to finish your project on time,” I thank him for his caring and encouragement. I would also like to thank my project tutor Ivan for helping me to sort things out. The technicians at the Mechanical Engineering Student Workshop and Advanced Engineering Materials Facility gave me a lot of technical support, without which I could not have completed my project in five months. On top of that, on behalf of all the graduates of the Engineering School, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all the lecturers and professors. Were it not for their dedication, we would not be here today.

Last but not least, I would like to thank God for his blessings. God has taught me to see how much I am blessed and made me realize that happiness should not be taken for granted. I will treasure all that I have in the days to come.

I hope that today will live on as a precious memory in our hearts. Thank you!

Dr Xuehong Du

PhD in Industrial Engineering & Engineering Management

Council Vice-Chairman, President, teachers, parents, fellow ~~~e~~~~~~l]~~.*~~.%W~~.~~.,~~ schoolmates, ladies and gentlemen:

X+%HqPj: Good afternoon! Today marks a special day in our lives.

Today is the day of our graduation. Congratulations, fellow graduates! We have successfully completed our studies and we now don gown and cap! Congratulations, parents and teachers! Your hopes and efforts over the years have at last resulted in our success! Congratulations, a2ma mater - the Hong Kong University of Science & Technology! Another batch of your excellent products is now launched!

1 remember the first day I set foot on campus, I was asked, “Do you know what UST means?” “No. What does it mean?” ‘I U means university, of course; S stands for stress; T stands for tension. So UST is the University of Stress and Tension.” I smiled and said, “That’s okay. I am used to working under stress and tension. I like it! ”

So began my new life at HKUST. Lectures, lab work, homework, and projects came one after another. Culture shock, language shock, “stomach shock”...they almost floored me! In less than two weeks, I really got to realize what “UST” means.

Thanks to our faculty of the School of Engineering. When noticing my suffering, they invited me to their offices, induced me to articulate my problems and helped me figure out the solutions. Thanks also to my classmates. They taught me how to use the library and introduced me to a healthy lifestyle. Gradually, I caught up with all the classes I missed and started to work on my research. I have to say, UST is not only the University of Stress and Tension, but also the University of Love and Care.

Time flies! Several years have passed since we began our studies at UST. Looking back at what we have experienced, we feel deeply indebted to our alma mater. With its vision of being a world-class university at the cutting edge in all targeted fields of pursuit, UST has provided us with everything we needed.

(25)

We believe the best way to learn is to learn from the best, to have established scholars from renowned academic research institutions around the world sharing with us their training and experience at the finest universities in the world, and bringing us fresh insights and the excitement of their discoveries.

We also believe that the best work is done with the best tools: State-of-the-art laboratories, innovative teaching methods, a high-speed fibre-optic campus network, and an information-age library system extending to all corners of the world give us broad exposure and help us feel the pulse of our age.

Now, more and more students are stepping out of UST, ready to take up positions that will lead them to the top of their chosen profession and to become leaders in the community. Stress and tension? Yes, it is exactly because of the rigorous training we have received here academically and psychologically that we are no longer kids. We have learnt to face up to pressures, difficulties, and frustrations. So we’d like to say: UST is also the University of Progress and Success!

In our knowledge-intensive Information Age, it is technological and managerial innovation that counts. The new era calls for talents, fresh ideas, an inquisitive mind, and ceaseless effort. To shape our world for the 21 st century, to contribute to our country, and to manifest the honor of UST are the responsibilities for every one of us. We will not be afraid because we have been trained under stress and tension. Supported by love and care, we are capable of tackling stress and tension to achieve progress and success.

Graduation is a time for expressing gratitude. Here, we would like to thank all those who have offered us their support and helped us proceed on our journey. We would also like to thank our families for their unending love, support, and encouragement throughout the years.

We are leaving today with a new pair of wings-strong wings that have been strengthened throughout our years at UST. We will stretch our wings and soar high. We will show the world that we are the eagles from UST!

Fellow graduates, today UST is our pride; tomorrow may we be the pride of UST! Let us give it our best and make this come true!

Thank you!

Address by the Representatives of the School of Business and Management

Miss Agnes Chi Wai

CHEUNG

BBA

in Information Systems Management

DC Lo, Professor Woo, Professor Chan, distinguished guests, fellow students, ladies and gentlemen:

It is my honor to speak on behalf of all the graduating business students.

It will be difficult to summarize the past three years at UST in a few minutes, so I am going to take you through my journey and share with you my personal feelings.

When I first entered UST, I thought university life was just another drive down a highway. I thought I could envision my life for the next three years - no beautiful scenery to appreciate; no exciting landmarks to stop by; there would only be monotonous driving on and on with lots of other cars.

I soon found out that the drive was by no means just another boring drive. On the contrary, it turned out to be an exciting journey beyond my imagination. Cod has prepared for me picturesque scenery and landmarks on the way. And these would be kept in my heart forever.

During my study, I had the rare opportunity to be part of the founding team of a public speaking club on campus. With the strong support from the various offices in the University, our club is now in the final stage to be officially recognized by Toastmasters International. I thank the University for giving me the opportunity to continue serving my alma mater.

I have obtained a lot of experience in competition through participating in the University debate team. I have also learnt the meaning of teamwork from my teammates. Success for the individual does not represent success for the whole team. Every one in the team has to excel in order that the team will succeed.

Today, as I am working for Pacific Century CyberWorks, competition and teamwork become part of my everyday life. With the experience I have gained in university, I am proud to say that I have adjusted to that with ease.

(27)

Continuous learning is also an essential part of my work life. We have to be aware of happenings around us so that we are prepared for competition any time. Here, I would like to thank my professors for their enlightenment in this regard. I hope my fellow graduates will join me in thanking all our professors for teaching us how to learn.

As well, I thank God for all that I have encountered and learnt. My heartfelt gratitude also goes to the very important people in my life-my parents and my family- for sharing my joy and my tears. Thanks also to everyone I have encountered in my university life, and that includes every one of you. It is you who have made my journey so colorful and memorable.

Friends, ladies and gentlemen, life is a journey, and I believe it is not the destination but the journey itself that is most rewarding.

Thank you.

Mr Jason Chi Chiu

TSANG

MBA

Dr Lo, President, Professor Chan, Dr De Krey, professors, distinguished guests, fellow schoolmates, ladies and gentlemen:

Let me start by saying how honored I am to give this speech on behalf of our graduating class.

We have all worked hard and given much to reach this milestone - becoming a full-fledged HKUST MBA degree- holders. Looking back at 1998 when we started our journey, who could have imagined the changes that have occurred in Hong Kong? We entered the program in the midst of the worst financial crisis in Asia and it only got worse before it got better. Night after night we heard on the news of businesses going bankrupt. Many of us witnessed close friends and colleagues lose their jobs to layoffs or “corporate restructuring”. The scary thing was, it could have been one of us and I’m sure each of us had our moments of panic. We were only comforted by the fact that the education we were receiving at UST would keep us afloat and move us to the top. I’m sure this was probably one of the reasons why class attendance suddenly went up.

Then a funny thing happened - Hong Kong and the rest of Asia suddenly embarked on the fast track to the New Economy. We became web-crazy. Everything was dot-corn. Instead of losing jobs, friends and colleagues were leaving lucrative jobs to join the ranks of the start-ups.

It’s ironic that we felt ecstatic at the opportunities that lay ahead and yet we also feared what the future might hold. So what happened? More importantly, what’s next? I don’t pretend to have the answers but I do know that the world has forever changed. We now live in a world where major upheavals are the norm and, as a result, decision- making now happens at “web speed”. What does that mean to you and me?

Firstly, decisions are made quickly or we risk losing opportunities. Secondly, constant change requires us to adapt or we risk becoming a “corporate restructuring” casualty. It’s tougher to stay ahead. Thirdly, knowledge we have today will be outdated tomorrow.

(29)

But despite such harsh realities, I stand here today more optimistic than ever before. The Jason you see today is not the same Jason two years ago. My classmates are probably thinking it’s because I got fatter, not smarter. I don’t know what happened but somewhere along the way, my way of thinking took a right turn. I would like to share how I think this happened.

Our first lesson took place in a luxurious hotel, the Shangri-La-this was probably where I learned to enjoy the good life.

We also faced fear during Outward Bound-I found my fear on top of a telephone pole trying to jump to a trapeze bar. Oscar So found his fear when his team was almost struck by lightning. As a result, we learned how powerful teamwork could be.

We also experienced the true meaning of PRESSURE in taking the Management Accounting course.

I learned to respect the MBA office and appreciate how hard they have worked to help us and to make the MBA program stay successful.

I also found friendship in my fellow classmates.

Last but not least, I gained a broad range of knowledge from my courses.

So somehow, miraculously, all of these events intertwined to change my thinking and outlook. As an example, I find myself consciously challenging the value of my own actions each and every day. This could not have been possible without the Business School, the MBA program, and its dedicated staff.

To Dean Yuk-shee Chan, Dr Steve De Krey, Mr Chris Tsang, and MS P H Mak, I would like to thank you on behalf of our class for putting all the right ingredients together so that our stay at UST was valuable, memorable, and worthwhile.

To the graduating class-it’s been an honor being with you, learning with you and learning from you. I’m sure each of you learned as much as I did but I challenge you to find your value. Best of luck to your future careers and hope we can all be good ambassadors for UST.

Thank you.

Address by the Graduate Representative of the School of Science

Mr Jackie Chong Nam

CHENG

BSc in Biology

Mr Pro-Chancellor, President, professors, parents, fellow ~,J~~.~w~~.~~~~.~e.~~~~.~g~ graduates, ladies & gentlemen:

$8”: Good afternoon. It is my great pleasure to speak on

behalf of the graduates in the School of Science on this +F!&i2Bl~>$t5~aif-~~] ~+*$?+&&Q{~*

memorable occasion. &aw~l!Z+#Z&&&_lL&i5$o

Today is a joyful and important day particularly for this year’s graduates who have worked hard with this day in mind. This graduation ceremony not only recognizes our efforts over the past three years, but also marks the completion of our undergraduate studies. Today, we graduate!

My fellow graduates will long remember our heavy workload of lectures, tutorials, studies, assignments, lab reports, group projects, papers, presentations, endless quizzes and exams - I need not say more. Such a challenging curriculum, however, offers us a chance to adapt to the realities of the working world. Thus, on behalf of my schoolmates, I would like to express our whole-hearted gratitude to our parents, professors, staff and our alma mater, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, for providing us with this learning opportunity.

I believe the most joyful people here today may not be us, the graduates, but our parents. Without them, we will not be here today. Dear parents, we thank you for your unconditional giving, caring, patience, and sacrifice.

Our University offers us world-class facilities, cutting edge computing and communications hardware and software, audio-visual references and databases in the library, as well as interactive teaching facilities. These advantages have enabled us to understand more clearly and thus learn more efficiently. However, the most important factor for our success today is our outstanding professors. We thank you for your patience and conscientiousness in teaching, advising, inspiring, and encouraging us over the past three years. Also, we must not forget the postgraduate teaching assistants, technicians, librarians and other support staff who have contributed to giving us a sound education.

(31)

We have many unforgettable and happy memories of our time spent at this university. Hall life, for example, has been a valuable first experience for most of us in having to look after ourselves away from our families. We will never forget the barbeques on campus, food stalls and pubs, mega sales, overnight chats and online games, and also Typhoon York in September 1999. Some of us have been committee members of student societies, and experienced the excitement and frustration of organizing activities.

Speaking personally, in the past three years, I have learned to prioritize my activities, organize my time, act independently, and think more maturely; I have attained a BSc in Biology, thanks to UST! I have made many friends both among my own peer group and among the staff and faculty. The feeling of being a graduate is far different from that of a new undergraduate student. As an undergraduate student, I wanted nothing more than to graduate as soon as possible because of the busy course work. Now that I have graduated, I find that I miss the stressful life of undergraduate study. Inspired by my undergraduate research project, I have just begun to study for a PhD at UST. I enjoy research work very much and find it most exciting when I discover something new and unexpected.

Time flies and three years of studies have ended. The road in front of us may have many challenges, but I believe that we, as graduates of UST, are capable of overcoming them.

I wish to conclude by wishing all my fellow graduates a bright and successful

Thank you.

future.

Address by the Graduate Representative of the School of Humanities and Social Science

Dr Zhanxin

ZHANG

PhD in Social Science

Mr Pro-Chancellor, Honorable Chairman and Vice Chairman of the University Council, President, distinguished guests, dear teachers and fellow graduates, ladies and gentlemen:

It is my great honor to be here today, as a graduate of the School of Humanities and Social Science, to express my heartfelt thanks to my alma mater.

Five years ago, attracted by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, I left Beijing and came here to begin my doctoral program in the Division of Social Science. During the past five years, I received top-notch training in a university that is based on science and technology and at the same time giving much importance to humanities and social science. I have been nurtured with both science and technology and the humanistic spirit, and have attained a master degree and a doctoral degree. I am really fortunate and am proud of my choice.

At this point, I would like to devote my special thanks to the Division of Social Science, and to the previous and current Heads of the Division, Professor Hsi-sheng Ch’i, Professor Andrew Walder, and Professor Alvin So. The Division embodies different branches of social science and gathers a group of excellent scholars. Thanks to their advice, support, and help, I was able to finish my study in social science and to go into the research of China’s social transformation. I will never forget you, dear teachers of social science.

I really don’t know how to express my feelings for my alma mater. Here we have a beautiful campus, unparalleled seascape, advanced facilities, and profound knowledge. What has impressed me most is not only the rapid development of scientific research but also the depth in humanities and social science. HKUST has truly practiced the notion of a people-oriented education. Thanks to the founders of HKUST who established the School of Humanities and Social Science and led the University into the 2Ist century, an era in which science and technology, culture, and society will develop side by side harmoniously. I will always remember you, dear teachers and staff of HKUST.

(33)

Last but not least, I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and wishes to the people of Hong Kong. The prosperity of this city has been conducive to the establishment and growth of HKUST. In recent years, many students and scholars from the Chinese Mainland have come here to study and research. I am one of the lucky ones who have benefited from the support for the University from various circles in Hong Kong. I will always remember my Hong Kong classmates. Through our day- to-day contacts, I have come to realize how closely Hong Kong and the Mainland are related. Hong Kong, I sincerely send you my best wishes.

In the new century, there will be more far-reaching changes in the world that call for a renewal in social science. To me, social science training at HKUST is an investment for the future. The time at HKUST has been a very significant phase of my life. Thank you!
