HKUST 25th Anniversary Celebration in San Francisco
To mark the 25th Anniversary of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2016, a series of celebratory events is being held from Fall 2015 to early 2017. During these past 25 years, HKUST has truly become an international university, with our alumni spanning the globe for studies and work. We want to share this significant birthday with these alumni in far away places and we are delighted to let you know that the inaugural European celebration was successfully held in London in November 2015. There will be three more worldwide gatherings upcoming in San Francisco, Beijing and Singapore; and of course also the grand Gala Banquet in Hong Kong on 19 June 2016.
You are cordially invited to our North America celebration on 13 February 2016 (Saturday). We welcome our alumni and friends in the US, Canada and the Americas to join this celebration.
