Despite the influence of the social movement activities and COVID-19, I am glad to meet Ju and Trista in person two times apart from electronic means. It is grateful to know them since they are energetic, proactive and curious about future career. And interestingly, I get to know a Korean mentee in my Korean career journey. Hope they like my sharing and I look forward to staying in touch with them.

I've gotten a lot of realistic advice and help from Mentor Kelvin in regards to interview processes and the professional working environment in Hong Kong. I am grateful to have met Mentor Kelvin and Trista through this Mentorship Program and will look forward to keeping in contact with them.

The SBM UG Career Mentorship Program has been a very fruitful experience for me. I have gained a lot in personal growth and finding my career path. My mentor, Kelvin, has inspired me not only in job-related areas but also given me so much useful advice. Thank you, mentor, Kelvin and Karen Lee Student Mentoring Center for organizing the program!

My involvement in the Peer Mentoring Program, through engaging with peer mentees and participating in mentor training, has offered me valuable insights that have greatly impacted my personal growth.

The Peer Mentoring Program has been a great platform for me to build new friendships, gain insights from seniors and adjust to university life more easily.

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!

Being a peer mentor is truly a meaningful experience, where I could support others in the same way I was once supported. Whether it is an adjustment issue or something academic‑related, I enjoy sharing my experiences to guide them through their first year. One thing I value most is the bond we built. I enjoy being someone they can comfortably approach, especially when they feel uncertain about where to seek help. Their trust and openness motivate me to be more thoughtful, patient, and proactive. Throughout the journey, I learned that mentoring is not just about giving answers, but about listening, understanding, and growing together. My journey as a peer mentor has been transformative, and I hope to continue supporting others with empathy, sincerity, and enthusiasm.

During my sophomore year, I served as a peer mentor, guiding freshmen in their transition to university life. My role was multifaceted, encompassing academic support and assisting them in thriving at the university. Sharing my experiences was particularly fulfilling; I could relate to their challenges with my prior experience and offer practical advice, easing their transition and fostering a sense of belonging. I am pleased to have gained the trust of my mentees, who seek my assistance not only related to academics but also other matters. Throughout this journey, it was meaningful for me to motivate my mentees to pursue their dreams at HKUST and to support them through the ups and downs. These experiences have taught me that mentoring is not only about sharing knowledge and experiences but also about fostering personal growth and building lasting relationships. As I continue my journey as a peer mentor, I am committed to maintaining my passion and leveraging my experiences to help my schoolmates.

It is my honour to be selected as one of the awardee for Excellence in Mentoring Award. Iit has been a valuable experience for me sharing my fruitful experience in HKUST, internship and exchange. Being a peer mentor is not only a process of giving back to our freshmen, but also a journey to gain insights. Through catching up with mentees, I get to learn more about their views and ideas while studying or planning about their future. I am glad to have this programme for students to connect and support each other in our university life.

I joined the Halloween UG Get-Together in the last semester and it was such a fun and lively gathering! I really enjoyed mingling with professors and senior students, learning more about the management program and the industry landscape while enjoying great snacks and festive activities.

I'm a huge fan of UG Get-Togethers. They always surprise me with the variety of activities, most of which are about celebrating festivals. They've got everything from writing thank-you letters to rocking photo booths with festive props and even mini games. It's the perfect spot to take a quick break between classes, grab some snacks, and gain a sense of accomplishment through winning prizes. Plus, it's a great way to reconnect with my old friends. I love bumping into them there and catching up on all the latest happenings.

Attending UG Get-Togethers enriched my social life with fun activities, lasting friendships, and unforgettable memories. The gatherings provided an escape from campus stress. I connected with diverse individuals, including UST staff and professors. Beyond the free food and drinks, these events offered a chance to bond with friends and create cherished social memories.
