HKUST Council Chairman Prof. Harry Shum kicked off the event, highlighting the University’s key milestones and the lasting impact of its alumni. Provost Prof. Yike Guo spotlighted the Shanghai Center as alumni’s “home” in the Yangtze River Delta, driving industry-education integration and innovation incubation.

Shanghai alumni’s strong unity is driven by the HKUST Shanghai Alumni Association. Ms. Tracy Liu, its President, shared an update on the association’s work, while Senior Management presented certificates of appreciation to executive members for their dedicated service.

The event culminated in guests placing wish capsules into the wish box, cutting the birthday cake, and toasting together to celebrate HKUST’s 35th anniversary. It ended with everyone singing the HKUST anthem in a warm, joyful atmosphere.
