Global Alumni Ambassadors Geared Up to Forge Closer Alumni Connections Worldwide
Launched by the Alumni Office of the CUHK Business School last summer to foster a closer alumni community worldwide, the Global Alumni Ambassador (GAA) Programme has received solid support from over 70 alumni from 24 regions in six continents. Over the past years, these GAAs served as the bridge between the CUHK Business School and its alumni of Hong Kong, sparing no efforts to support and connect alumni in their localities and beyond through online and offline engagements, and strengthen the alumni community as well as the presence of their alma mater globally despite challenges under COVID.
GAAs recently came together in a virtual Town Hall to celebrate a year of fruitfulness and share their experiences and insights into the prospect of the initiative.
Over 70 GAAs around the world are striving their very best to connect alumni with the CUHK Business School
Prof. Seen-Meng Chew, Associate Dean (External Engagement) of the CUHK Business School, kick-started the Town Hall with an opening speech. He expressed gratitude towards GAAs for their efforts in the past year, and encouraged them to act even bigger in the coming year to mobilise alumni overseas to indulge in the celebration of the 60th anniversary of CUHK and CHUK Business School. Representatives of the Business School Alumni Office then took the floor to share recent updates of the School and future plans for alumni engagements.
While the tenure of GAAs lasts for two years, the current cohort of GAAs have already realised over a hundred times of alumni engagements in the past year and facilitated closer connections and support among overseas alumni. At the occasion, Dan Pang (IBBA 2003) from Guangzhou, China was invited to share his experience and the heartfelt joy that the engagements afforded him. He pointed out that making new connections via the programme did not only broaden his professional network, but also remind him of the old good times at school and foster his sense of belonging towards the CUHK Business School. Other GAAs also reflected on their engagement experience and shared thoughts for enhancement. The Annual Town Hall was concluded on a warm note.
