HKUST Connect

HKUST Connect is a community engagement initiative that aims to build on the University's efforts in raising civic awareness and developing sustainable partnerships with the wider community to deepen student learning and promote a benevolent world. Students will connect their service with their academic experiences and explore their unique roles in the community. Faculty and staff will facilitate these activities and provide non-academic advising to enhance student learning as well as strengthen their commitment to education with a public purpose. The University will collaborate with community organizations, education institutions and corporations to organize meaningful projects that assist, inspire and build up their participants.
