DAAO hosted an alumni sharing session on 9 January 2025, featuring three distinguished alumni: Mr Jet Chou Sai-kit, renowned Hong Kong Chinese chess player; Mr Leung Kwok-shing, Executive Director of the Hok Yau Club; Ms Janet Kung Tsz-shan, a Hong Kong ice-climbing athlete; and a special guest speaker, Mr Shawn Cheung Siu-lun, a Hong Kong National Team fencer. All of them received the “Ten Outstanding Young Persons” award.

In a chit-chat session with Prof. Ricky Kwok Yu-kwong, HKMU Vice President (Research and Institutional Advancement), they shared their aspirations and obstacles during their journey to realising their dreams. The event was well received by over 100 HKMU faculty and students, participating either in person or online.

Prof. Kwok expressed his gratitude to the four distinguished speakers for sharing their journey and insights. He encouraged HKMU faculty and students to learn from the spirit of the athletes and to adjust their mindset when facing obstacles in pursuit of their dreams.
