| FROM CUHK: CUHK Business School Faculty Members and Student Honoured at the University’s Research and Teaching Excellence Awards |
|
Research Excellence Award 2019-20 The Research Excellence Award aims to encourage outstanding research performance and to provide a long-term, overall positive effect on promoting research excellence at the University and further improving the success rate of all major research grant applications. Prof. Sudipto Dasgupta Professor, Department of Finance  “I am greatly honoured. Research output brings its own reward; however, this type of recognition tells you that you are hopefully doing something that is meaningful for the institution.” Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award 2019 The Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award Scheme was launched in 1999 to recognise outstanding teachers. Every year, each Faculty can nominate at least one faculty member with excellent teaching performance in the eyes of students, as well as other teaching staff. Dr. Fred Ku Senior Lecturer, Department of Decision Sciences and Managerial Economics Assistant Dean (Undergraduate Studies), CUHK Business School Director, BBA in Integrated BBA Programme  “I am deeply honoured to receive this year’s Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award. I wish to express my gratitude to CUHK Business School and its Department of Decision Sciences and Managerial Economics, my mentors and colleagues for the encouragement and opportunities. We are probably having one of the most challenging years. Online teaching and learning have been tough for both teachers and students, but every cloud has a silver lining. COVID-19 pushed us to reflect on our teaching and learning approach and adopt new technologies to enhance students’ learning experiences. For instance, taking advantage of the online environment, I’ve been embedding even more class activities, discussion and case studies in my virtual classes. I am also able to invite guest speakers from all over the world to share their insights with my students. It is simply not possible in the past. Students appreciate these new opportunities and are fascinated to see how business knowledge can help them see the world differently. CUHK Business School has been committed to providing the best education. With our drive and passion, I am sure we will continue to embrace every challenge and strive for excellence in teaching.” Young Researcher Award 2019 In view of recognising research accomplishments of young faculty, the University established the Young Researcher Award in 2002. One young faculty with the best research output will be nominated by the Dean of each Faculty every year. Prof. Keongtae Kim Associate Professor, Department of Decision Sciences and Managerial Economics  “I am truly humbled and honoured to receive the Young Research Award 2019. It is such a prestigious award that gives recognition to my work. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my advisers, collaborators, and colleagues. I had to deal with various challenges and difficulties that came across the path. Without their continuing support, I would not have made any achievements and would never be able to receive the award. Conducting impactful research is a lifelong endeavour for me. This award will only motivate me to produce research that achieves demonstrable benefits to the wider society and economy.” Postgraduate Research Output Award 2019 To encourage quality research, the University established the Postgraduate Research Output Award in 2002. One postgraduate student per faculty will be nominated by the Dean every year. Dr. Chu (Ivy) Dang Graduate of 2020, Ph.D. Programme in Marketing, CUHK Business School  “It is my great honour to receive the Postgraduate Research Output Award 2019. I want to share this award with my supervisor Prof. Mandy Hu and my external committee member Prof. Pradeep Chintagunta, both of whom are coauthors of this award-winning paper*. I am deeply indebted to them for their guidance and support. My sincere gratitude also goes to my thesis committee Chair Prof. Xianchi Dai and committee member Prof. Francisco Cisternas. Throughout my PhD studies in the Department of Marketing, I gained a wealth of support from the faculty members and staff there. This is a place like home to me. I am also very lucky to have had a supportive and caring cohort during my time as a Ph.D. student. I want to express my sincere thanks to them for the countless moments of laughter we shared together and for the support given to each other. CUHK Business School is where I discovered my passion and the career that I want to pursue. I will continue to “look forward”, work hard, and conduct meaningful and impactful research.” Notes: * Mantian (Mandy) Hu, Chu (Ivy) Dang, Pradeep K.

| FROM CUHK: Cheers All Around for Class of 2020 at CUHK’s 88th Congregation for the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees |
|
This year’s master’s and bachelor’s graduation ceremonies were divided into 17 sessions, hosted by colleges and faculties. The nine colleges of CUHK conferred the Bachelor’s Degrees on 19 November, while CUHK Business School, along with the other seven faculties, held the Master’s Degree Graduation Ceremonies on 21 November. A total of 6,394 master’s degrees and 4,761 bachelor’s degrees were conferred at the Congregation. Among them, there were 1,069 Bachelor of Business Administration, 105 Bachelor of Science, and 1,160 Master of Accountancy, Master of Business Administration, Master of Professional Accountancy and Master of Science degrees. At the Master’s Degree Graduation Ceremony, Ms Angel Ng (BBA 1990), CEO, Citi Hong Kong & Macau (right) delivered a keynote speech to all the CUHK Business School graduates. The theme of her speech is “Courage Conquers”, encouraging the School’s graduates to be courageous for the challenges ahead of them, “In times of uncertainty, it takes courage to keep trying and keep believing. When you encounter problems, your natural instinct will tell you to run away. It takes courage to resist the urge to escape, but face the problems head-on even if it’s unpleasant. Courage gives you patience and strength. With these qualities, you’ll find solutions to almost all the problems.”    Capturing the Precious Moments with AR Technology Graduation is one of the life moments that many students look forward to. With the ongoing threat of COVID-19, graduates may not be able to return to campus for taking graduation photos, but geographical constraints do not restrict the capture of such important moments. As such, CUHK Business School has created a photo-taking app harnessing the power of AR technology to let its graduates capture the important moments with their respected professors. Developed with the support of the School’s devoted alumnus Lucas Leung (BBA in Hotel and Tourism Management 2013) and his startup, TraVR, the AR graduation photo-taking app is available in two versions – one allows graduates to take photos with hologram images of their professors at the CUHK campus, and one for graduates in China and overseas who cannot be back physically to take a photo with the hologram image of Dean Lin Zhou. Let’s hear some of our graduates’ sharing on this precious moment:  “My friends in CUHK definitely influenced me the most. Friends I met here are so kind-hearted and considerate, and they inspired me a lot. Studying in the Hotel and Tourism Management programme is the most unforgettable experience throughout my university journey. I learnt a lot at CUHK and met bunch of good classmates. I was able to improve my interpersonal skills too. Marketing knowledge is the most valuable thing I learnt in CUHK. I have never thought of stepping into the marketing industry before I took my first marketing course. Taking marketing as my minor has built up my passion, and I am determined to develop my career in the industry.” – Yuki Chan (BBA in Hotel and Tourism Management Programme) “My friends and classmates definitely influenced me the most during my studies in CUHK. They are all talented, determined and kind-hearted. I learned a lot from them. Besides, the professors also inspired me a lot. They are very friendly and knowledgeable, especially Prof. Lisa Wan and Dr. Felix Chao. Studying the course “Food & Beverage Management” is the most unforgettable learning experience in CUHK. I need to cooperate with my group mates and organise a Harry-Potter-themed dinner banquet for 60 guests. It was demanding yet fruitful experience. Although we had lots of work, it was fun! The Human Resources (HR) courses I took in CUHK definitely made an impact on my career. Not only can I enhance my knowledge in HR, but I can also improve my interpersonal skills.” – Carrie Fung (BBA in Hotel and Tourism Management Programme) Notes: In the above photo, Carrie is the first student at the right-hand end of the row, and Yuki is the first student at the left-hand end of the row.  “The first person that come into my mind is Chi-kit Wong, 2018 MAcc graduate. I have connected with Kit in the Alumni Mentorship Programme, and he was my mentor. Since we have a similar academic and professional background, we discussed a lot about career development and future education possibilities. Kit is very open to share his strategies and techniques in preparing for the CPA and CFA examinations. In terms of career, he is willing to try as best as he can to accommodate internship and full-time opportunities for us. I am thankful for knowing Kit through the programme, which provides MAcc students with chances to receive invaluable advice in career and life from the School’s extensive alumni network. The studies in CUHK has equipped me with all-round accounting and financial knowledge that can be applied to my daily work. The in-class presentations also boosted my confidence to speak more comfortably in front of large audiences. The knowledge and skills gained from MAcc has helped propel my career and stand out among my peers.” – Tiffany Leong Yan Lai (Master of Accountancy [Part-time])  “The AR app gives me a great experience to be ‘physically’ back to campus. I’d like to thank the professors who taught me in the actuarial analysis courses. CUHK has trained me well to adjust myself and cope with the fast-changing environment, being able to apply my knowledge and skills in the real-life environment especially during the ongoing pandemic.” – Vivienne Toh (BBA in Insurance, Financial and Actuarial Analysis Programme)  “I’d like to thank Dr. William Lau for his classes on statistics which guided me to learn statistics from a fundamental level. This allows me to build a strong foundation for more advanced data analytics classes. CUHK offered me a lot of opportunities and provided an optimal learning environment which had equipped me well for my future career.” – Hiep Vu (MSc in Business Analytics)  “This year has truly been a challenging yet fulfilling journey of self-discovery as well as personal and professional enrichment. CUHK MSc in Finance programme offers us not only a systemic coverage of academic studies, but, more importantly, it also connects us tightly with the industry through real-life case studies, lectures from practitioners and market updates and discussions with professors. The programme brings out the proactive, motivated and initiative-taking qualities of students which are later translated into passion and pursuit for a good start of career. It’s been a pleasure to become part of the programme.” – Alex WANG (MSc in Finance [Full time])  “My journey in CUHK has been exciting, rewarding, and unforgettable. I am glad that I have chosen CUHK for my bachelor’s degree. Thanks for designing the app for us to capture the wonderful moment with our professors.” – Yee-wing WONG (BBA in Integrated BBA Programme)  “It was undoubtedly a challenging year. The social movement and COVID-19 outbreak turned the learning environment upside down with classes, projects and exams all being moved online. I’d like to thank Prof. Zhaoyang Gu and all the MAcc programme staff, including Dr. Joyce Wang, Joyce Lee, Ellen Lin and Carmen Lo, for their tremendous support, care and guidance on career planning. I can feel that providing students with the best learning experience is a top-of-mind priority for them. In the past year, what CUHK impressed me most was its strong alumni network. A lot of outstanding and committed alumni — many of whom are prominent business leaders/entrepreneurs — proactively took part in activities arranged by the programme to share their invaluable experiences with us. I feel so blessed to have met with them for a face-to-face sharing. I hope I will have the opportunity to return to my alma mater as an alumni speaker in the future. – Wenyuan YAN (Master of Accountancy [Full-time]) ---> ---> ---> The post Cheers All Around for Class of 2020 at CUHK’s 88th Congregation for the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees appeared first on CUHK Business School. |
