Academic Retreat 2017/18, School of Business

The School of Business held the Academic Retreat 2017/18 at Courtyard by Marriott Hong Kong Sha Tin. This one-day event was held on 31 August 2018, with the participation of over 70 academic and administrative staff members.

Dean Barnes kicked off the retreat by updating staff members on various School development like introduction of new staff, space allocation, image-building of the School, staff retention and reorganisation, and research postgraduate programmes with overseas institutions.

After group discussion, the academic and administrative staff members presented ways to increase student enrollment, proposed creative titles for four distinctive pathways and highlighted the curricula for the Global Master’s Degree Programme.

The retreat generated a great deal of discussion and covered a wide range of topics. At the end of the retreat, Dean Barnes thanked all participants for joining the Academic Retreat 2017/18 and appreciated their efforts and contributions. All inputs would serve as valuable and useful references when the School formulates its educational directions and the related initiatives for moving towards the next level of academic excellence.
