The Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program has surpassed all leading institutions in the world as it has once again been ranked no. 1 by the Financial Times 2009 EMBA global rankings.  The success of the part-time Kellogg-HKUST EMBA program is largely attributed to the superb career track records of the graduating class in 2006 and their geographical diversity in terms of nationality and overseas working experience. The program is jointly offered by Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. 

The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's School of Business and Management (HKUST Business School) is delighted that its MBA program has for four years in a row been ranked top in Asia and Hong Kong by The Economist.  A similar proportion of the graduates, 56.7% of them are employed in the financial/ banking sector this year, compared to 56.3% in 2008 notwithstanding cautious hiring decisions and widespread headcount freeze in the hard-hit industry. According to data collected by HKUST's Career Office earlier, 93% of the students have secured an offer within three months after graduation. 

The international Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) has bestowed the Distinguished Early Career Contributions Award on HKUST Management Professor Riki Takeuchi.  The award is given to an individual who makes important contributions to the science and/or practice of industrial-organizational psychology within seven years of receiving their PhD degree. The SIOP is an international organization based in Ohio, the US and is also a division within the American Psychological Association (est.1892) and an organizational affiliate of the American Psychological Society (est. 1988).  Prof. Takeuchi graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, in December 2003 and since then he has published or has in press 14 high quality papers in top-tier journals. He is the first (principal) author of eight of these papers. 

The International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the Chern Medal Foundation (CMF) are launching a major new prize in mathematics, the Chern Medal Award. The Award is established in memory of the outstanding mathematician Shiing-Shen Chern (1911, Jiaxing, China – 2004, Tianjin, China). Professor Chern devoted his life to mathematics, both in active research and education, and in nurturing the field whenever the opportunity arose. He obtained fundamental results in all the major aspects of modern geometry, and founded the area of global differential geometry. Chern’s work exhibited keen aesthetic tastes in his selection of problems and in his breadth exemplified the interconnectiveness of modern geometry and all of its aspects.

Young students from seven Asian countries or regions gathered at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) on Saturday, 4 April to receive their International Talent Search Award for High Honors presented by Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (JHU-CTY). With a history spanning three decades, JHU-CTY is one of the world's top institutions dedicated to the search for, and development of, talented youngsters in and outside the US. The ceremony at HKUST was their first annual international awards ceremony held in Asia. Attending the ceremony were 65 youngsters from Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, India, Mainland China and Hong Kong, studying in primary or junior secondary school. They were identified through JHU-CTY's International Talent Search, based on their SAT or S-CAT performance. SAT is a globally administered test taken by university-bound students, and S-CAT is a similar test scaled for younger students.
