MESSAGE FROM PROGRAM DIRECTOR
Thrive in Times of Crisis
Thrive in Times of Crisis
At the time of this writing, many of us are slowly coming out of the COVID-19 shadow.
Same as the rest of the world, it was challenging to adapt to a new lifestyle of working and studying from home, but the difficulties also brought everyone at our school together, prompting us to innovate and elevate the relevance and standards of our education.
How do we help our students soar despite turbulence? This was one of our top priorities in the past months.

“…the difficulties also brought everyone at our school together, prompting us to innovate and elevate the relevance and standards of our education.”
As we moved our classes online to make sure students could finish their degree as scheduled, we were also strengthening our offerings by launching a range of new initiatives: collaborating on an AI-centric MBA course with Microsoft Hong Kong; inviting alumni from around the world to share how their countries and industries responded to the crisis; getting our faculty to talk about future market trends; and offering new professional development trainings for students to perform at the top of their game in the virtual recruitment process and workplace.
It was a communal effort. We owe our thanks to the alumni who spared their precious weekends to talk to our students, the faculty who shot the videos for us on top of additional work in online teaching, and our team for putting everything together.
Life will always throw challenges at us. It is our hope that by equipping our students with broader perspectives and digital skillsets, they will not just survive but also thrive in the post-COVID-19 age.
