My lunch with Professor Vincent Mak was a very insightful and enjoyable experience. During our conversation, we discussed career planning, internship preparation, and how to make the most of university opportunities. Professor Mak also shared his own experiences, offering valuable perspectives on career development and personal growth. What I found especially meaningful was how open and engaging the discussion was. Professor Mak provided practical insights on areas such as networking, academics, and preparing for future opportunities, which gave me a clearer idea of how to approach my own path. Overall, it was a very enriching experience, and I truly appreciated the opportunity to learn from him outside the classroom.

Participating in the Take Faculty to Lunch program has been a wonderful opportunity to get to know students beyond the classroom. I really enjoyed our conversations—hearing their stories, learning about their goals, and exchanging perspectives in a more casual setting.

My lunch with Professor Qingkai Dong was a really enlightening experience; he was very kind and shared his life experiences with us, from his background to why he chose teaching and his PhD in accounting. Apart from his life experiences, he gave us practical advice on how to study and live at university. His earnest advice has given us something that will definitely help us later when we decide to choose our path in life and majors in our nearby future.
