A Voice for Hong Kong

Off campus, HKUST provided the impetus for a significant contribution to the debate over Hong Kong's economic and social direction with three highly successful forums, the last of which was held in July 2002. The forums brought together leading thinkers and initiators from key sectors of the community to discuss ways to take Hong Kong forward. The HKUST Forum on the Future Development of Hong Kong report, providing a summary of issues, recommendations, and expressing HKUST's willingness to be involved in implementing change, was sent to the Government in September 2002.

Fostering further community development, 94 new members were recruited to the Beta Gamma Sigma HKUST Chapter, which honors academic achievement and encourages moral leadership and good practice in business.
