Lunar New Year Gathering 2023 for the MA in Strategic Communication Programme of the School of Communication

The School of Communication (SCOM) organized a Lunar New Year gathering for students of the MA in Strategic Communication (MA-SC) programme on 9 February (Thursday). .  Over 70 students and teachers attended the event, including Professor Scarlet Tso, Dean of SCOM, Professor Ronald Chiu, Associate Dean of SCOM, and Dr Howard SONG, MA-SC Programme Director.

Professor Scarlet Tso extended a warm welcome to students for their return to the campus.  In her opening remarks, she said that the School of Communication is another ‘home’ for MA students and encouraged them to engage themselves actively in school activities so as to build up a sense of belonging to the School and the society.  Professor Ronald Chiu also wished all students a happy new year.  When sharing with the students on the prospects of strategic communication, he highlighted the importance of strategic communication in the post-pandemic era and encouraged students to proactively acquire relevant knowledge and skills from the MA-SC programme to get themselves well equipped.

Participating students took the opportunity to share their learning experiences and exchange views with teachers regarding the possibilities of their future career developments. To have more fun, Dr Howard Song, MA-SC Programme Director, and a student each sang a song to entertain the participants. After delightful refreshments, the gathering ended in a joyous atmosphere.
