Potluck Party

Looking at their smiling faces, it is not hard to imagine how excited our colleagues were about enjoying the delicious dishes! Colleagues gathered at the MBA office during the lunch hour on a Friday in May, bringing their self-cooked dishes to share. A special guest, Professor Kar Yan Tam, Dean of HKUST Business School, also came and greeted the team. The Dean was impressed by the MBA colleagues’ cooking skills! Our thanks to everyone for contributing their unique dishes. The team had a wonderful afternoon. We proudly said, “We cook and work well.”

Our MBA program director, Prof. Tai-Yuen Chen (Central) and fellow teammates were thumbing up for the attractive dishes.
