Expanding the Scope of Mentoring

[Sponsored article] Mentoring is an effective way to help students progress, find their own potential, and become the person they want to be. The HKUST Business School realizes the value of mentoring and always looks for ways and resources to strengthen its mentoring activities.

With a generous donation from the Karen Lee Family, the School is able to step up its mentoring with the launch of a number of new initiatives such as a “Public Service Internship Scholarship” and “Take a Faculty to Lunch”, as well as the development of a new purpose-designed center.

“The Karen Lee Student Mentoring Center is organized by the Undergraduate Programs Office with sponsorship from the Dr Karen Lee Memorial Fund in memory of our late faculty member,” says Professor Emily Nason, Director of the Center and Associate Dean (Undergraduate Student Affairs).

“Dr Karen Lee was a dedicated professor who had a strong commitment to developing students’ professional and responsible leadership. She recognized the importance of mentoring in helping students to identify and pursue their personal and professional goals.

“With a grant of HK$20 million, the School is able to carry on with Dr Lee’s values and devotion in student mentoring and leadership development.”
