[eNews] First Alumni Event in 2019 – A Toast to the New Year!
Over 150 alumni and friends came together to kick-start 2019 at the New Year Alumni Drinks Party at the HKUST Business Central on January 17. The evening was a joyous occasion filled with great conversations among alumni across various industries from banking and finance, consulting, marketing, and many more.
A special counter was set up for attendees to write down their goals and wishes. To make it more meaningful, those cards with a new year’s resolution will be sent back to the alumni by the end of 2019.
A lucky draw session featuring cookie boxsets sponsored by Hanjuku Kobo (半熟工房), founded by our HKUST alumnus, was another highlight of the evening. For more event photos, please check out the online album.
