Fire Up Your Year - HKUST Welcome Event

Prepare to ignite your year full of excitement and positive energy! Fire Up Your Year is a series of activities created to welcome all new and returning HKUST students and kick-off the new academic year. The event includes exhilarating lunchtime performances by student societies, including a live band, acapella, rope skipping team and more. Senior leaders of the university will also be present to give warm greetings to our students. Besides the performances, there will also be booths throughout the campus offering mini-games or exercises for collecting stamps to redeem exclusive souvenirs. While beginning to navigate campus life and attend classes, you are encouraged to participate in these activities, to boost the vibe and connect with our fellow HKUSTers.

This event is organized by the Global Engagement and Communications Office, Dean of Students' Office and Shaw Auditorium Unit, with support from the School of Business and Management, the School of Engineering, the School of Science, the School of Humanities and Social Science, the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies and Center for Language Education.
