The Undergraduate Mentorship Programme 2023-24 Kick-off Ceremony, jointly organised by The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School Undergraduate Office and the BBA Alumni Association, was successfully held on 4 November, 2023.
This year, 60 mentors and 136 student mentees from all business major programmes participated in the mentorship programme. In the coming year, these mentees will receive personalised coaching and guidance from the mentors on their personal and career development.
To kick-start the ceremony, Professor Lin Zhou, Dean of CUHK Business School, delivered a welcome remark. “One of the strengths that distinguishes us from other business schools is our strong alumni network,” said Professor Zhou. “Dear students, you, as mentees, hold equal importance in this mentorship programme. Your energy, aspirations, creativity, and digital intelligence are far more powerful and inspiring than you may realise.”
