It’s that time of the year again, when graduating students in academic gowns gather on campus to take photos and capture memories of the final days of their college lives. What do they want to say to their alma mater and their fellow students? Let’s hear from some of the graduating students before they continue their journeys in life.

Joe Mok, Faculty of Law

I have developed a strong attachment to UM after participating in many student programmes and organisations, including the PR Student Ambassadors Programme. There, I feel like part of a big family as other members care about me very much. I would also like to thank my classmates from the Faculty of Law for their help and care over the years.

Boris Huang, Department of Government and Public Administration

Four years felt like a blink of an eye. My advice to those who have yet to graduate is this: make good use of your time; seize every opportunity; try new things and live your college years fully so that when you look back, you won’t have any regrets.

Ngan Ka Pan, Department of Finance and Business Economics

Over the past four years, I have made many friends. I will miss them after graduation. Things at work will never be as simple as those in college.

Wong Ka Kei, Department of Economics

College is a place where you find your passion, learn more about yourself, and make friends. My dear fellow students, I hope that in the future, when you look back on your college years, instead of textbooks and part-time jobs, you will only remember the good times and a colourful college life.

Leong Sin Ieng, Department of Communication

I am very grateful to those I have met over the past four years. First of all, I would like to thank the English Debating Team, which has provided many opportunities for me to grow. The team is the best thing in the world ever! During the CommFest 2016, I saw the best of every student from the Department of Communication. I am proud of every one of them. I am going to miss UM very much.

Pan Siya, Department of Accounting and Information Management

If I could go back in time to four years ago, I would tell the younger me to study harder. However, university students should not just care about their academic performance. They should also spend some time exploring the world.

Chung Ka Man, Department of Management and Marketing

My college life can be summarised as a process of starting a business at the Lunar New Year Fair, organising student events, and travelling to interesting places. Over the past four years, I have found my passion and regained a sense of belonging to the university through my friendships with other students. I have also grown a lot.
