Alumni Association of Ontario

Welcome, Ontario USTers! 

Whether you're a fresh grad, a longtime alum, or a former staff member, welcome to your HKUST community in Ontario. We're here to help you reconnect with the energy, culture, and spirit of our alma mater. 

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Alumni Association of Ontario (HKUSTAAO) is a volunteer-led community built on four pillars: networking, career development, social connection, and personal growth. 

• What We Do: We offer a packed calendar of events for every interest! 
• Annual Celebrations: Chinese New Year & Christmas Gatherings 
• Outdoor Fun: Summer Picnics, BBQs, Hiking & Small-Town Trips 
• Casual Meetups: Dim Sum, Board Games, Mahjong & Sports 
• Joint University Events: Through our partnership with HKJU, we join a massive annual picnic, sports day, and formal dinner. 
• Friends and family are welcome at many of our events! 

Meet the Team (2025–2027): Our Executive Committee is dedicated to putting our members first: 

President Brian Tsui; VP External Alan Yip; VP Internal Hermes Sun; VP Internal Winnie Wong; VP Member Services Dr. Kristy Suen; Secretary Rebecca (Shun Yee) Wong; Treasurer Christina Ng; General Executive Members Janette Chan, David Cheung, and Albert Wan. 

We've Got Your Back Navigating life in Ontario can be tricky—finding housing, setting up bank accounts, writing resumes, or passing a driving test. That familiar HKUST hall spirit and can-do mindset is alive and well in our chapter. We offer steady, low-key support, whether it's a quick chat on WhatsApp, a coffee meetup, or a small group Q&A. You don't have to figure it all out alone.
