DEAN'S WELCOME
"The future is not a predetermined destination - it is a blank canvas. We equip our community with the intelligence, innovation, and global perspective to define what comes next."
Professor Stephen SHUM Wan-hang
Dean of the College of Business
"Receiving the 2026 College of Business Distinguished Alumni Award from CityUHK fills me with gratitude. As an engineer, being recognised by the Business School is both unexpected and truly precious. My heartfelt thanks go to the DBA faculty at CityUHK, my family, friends, DBA classmates and colleagues who have walked this journey with me, as well as every mentor who has supported me along the way. I will continue to stay true to my original aspiration and serve society through engineering."
"The most transformative part of my CityUHK experience was learning to look at problems from a wider, more structured angle. Before, I ran my business largely on intuition and experience. I've since become much more open to looking beyond my own industry and adapting successful approaches from other sectors to drive innovation in our HR and recruitment business. All in all, the EMBA (Chinese) programme has given me much greater confidence to make balanced, rational decisions when things get complex."
"The CityUHK journey gave me three things. First, I found like-minded peers from a wide range of industries. Second, the East-meets-West education at CityUHK opened my mind and broadened my horizons, giving me a solid foundation for my career – that was my biggest gain from the EMBA (Chinese) programme. Third, it brought a profound sense of authenticity. It humbled me, helped me set aside my ego, and allowed me to quietly absorb the nuances of a globally connected education – all of which strengthened me from within."
"CityUHK has cultivated an exceptional culture of giving, and I feel strongly that alumni should play an active role in giving back. When I see current CityUHK students, I often ask myself: how can we help them navigate the workplace? That's when I realised – our students could really benefit from alumni stepping up to offer more career guidance, share diverse perspectives, and provide practical advice from the professional world."
"CB is like a mentor. It helped me to see the world, increase my perspective and also help me realising the potential. I think the goal of university is to nurture responsible students or citizens for the next generation. For the CB Alumni Endowment Fund, it will be used for scholarship. What I'm hoping to see is how students' lives are transformed, how they become leaders, how they can help shape a better world. That's the most thing that I would like to see."
