CUHK Business School Class of 2024 concludes remarkable journeys at Graduation Ceremony

The 94th Congregation for the Presentation of Doctoral, Master’s and Bachelor’s Degrees of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) was held on 17 November 2024. The nine colleges organised the Graduation Ceremonies for the Bachelor’s Degrees on 14 and 17 November, while CUHK Business School hosted the Doctoral and Master’s Degrees Graduation Ceremony on 16 November.

On 16 November, more than 900 graduates and 1,300 guests gathered at the University Mall to celebrate this momentous occasion. The ceremony began with a heartfelt welcome address by Professor Chan Wai-yee, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Strategic Developments) of CUHK. This was followed by an inspiring speech from the guest of honour and recipient of the prestigious Beta Gamma Sigma CUHK Chapter Honoree Award 2024, Mr Albert Wong (MBA 1994), Chief Executive Officer of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation. As a seasoned tech leader, Mr Wong encouraged the graduates to embrace technology in their professional pursuits to advance their businesses and contribute to the broader Hong Kong economy.

A highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of graduates from the five doctoral programmes and 14 master’s programmes. Each graduate was called onto the stage and congratulated by Professor Zhou Lin, dean of CUHK Business School, and programme directors. This marked the official conclusion of their academic journeys and the beginning of a new chapter.

To recognise the exceptional achievements of top-performing graduates, the Postgraduate Dean’s List Awards Ceremony was held on the same day, organised by Alumni Affairs and Development Office. During the event, Professor Zhou Lin congratulated the awardees and remarked, “As you take your journeys to the next level, hold fast to our university motto ‘through learning and temperance to virtue’ and strive to be leaders who prioritise empathy, responsibility, and integrity in every future endeavour.”

On this special occasion, many graduates made their way to the home base of CUHK Business School at Cheng Yu Tung Building, where they found creative backdrops and props designed for them to capture the unforgettable moments with their friends and families. On top of that, graduation gifts and souvenirs were available for redemption or purchase at designated booths, infusing the event with joy.
