The Peer mentoring program acts as a platform to engage with the new students and contribute to the SBM community and HKUST as a whole. I feel satisfied to be able to introduce them to our culture and help them adapt. A highly rewarding experience throughout!

MGMT, Year 3
The Peer Mentoring Program is a wonderful opportunity to meet like-minded people and learn from their stories and diverse experiences. It has helped me understand and empathize with my fellow students better and also improve my people skills. It’s also lovely to be able to give back to my alma mater and help co-create a supportive and engaged community of students!
Gillian Sero DEL MUNDO
Peer Mentor
BBA GBUS, Year 2
I was eager to help the freshmen adjust to their first year at HKUST. The mentors I had when I was a freshman provided a lot of help and useful advice, which is something I will always be grateful for. It was fun holding activities for the freshman to meet their first friends at School and also shaping their first moments here at HKUST.

LAM, Wing Tung Allison
Peer Mentoring Program Committee, Media Team
BBA OM, Year 2
Being a Peer Mentoring Committee is a rewarding experience for me. We work as a team of 8, organising monthly UG Get-Together, filming Peer Mentoring Programme video together. It is a golden opportunity to expand my social circle, collaborate with others, and connect with students in business school. Being part of the media team, I get to utilise hard skills such as video editing, social media management when working on projects. It is unforgettable to film videos as a team with lots of laughter and support from peers and staff.

BBA OM MARK, Year 3
As a Peer Mentoring Committee member of the graphics team, I have the chance to not only help incoming freshman, but also be able to seize this opportunity to practice my leadership skills, support my peers, and work with people from different disciplinary. I was all at sea when I first came into HKUST, where the Peer Mentoring Committee has allowed me to try a lot of new things and has helped me in finding my calling. This is where talents are truly embraced. We plan events, generate design ideas, produce videos, and together we make a positive impact in our HKUST community!
IP, Ching Stephanie
Peer Mentoring Program Committee, Events Team
BBA FINA and OM, Year 3
Peer Mentoring Committee allows me to promote personal growth. Not only can I build relationships with fellows and professors, but also sharpen my event management skills. Involving in the idea generation process for UG-Get-Together and planning the event from scratch, I gain the opportunity to communicate frequently with teammates and SBM staff members. It is also very nice to see the smiling faces of the participants! Join us and meet new faces!
