HKUST 30th ANNIVERSARY:
30 in 30 PUBLICATION
TIMELINE
Jan 22' - July 22'
MY ROLE
President
As the President, I oversaw the entire execution of the milestone publication. My team and I curated the list of 30 featured startups, led partner outreach, and managed our internal team to keep the project on track. I also served as the primary liaison with university officials for final proofreading and handled the logistical push to print and deliver hundreds of physical copies in time for our anniversary celebration banquet.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
To celebrate 30 years of innovation and business development at HKUST, the university launched the 30 in 30 milestone publication.
The project aimed to document and showcase the university's rich startup history by highlighting 30 successful ventures born on campus.
The final publication serves as an institutional archive and marketing tool to inspire the next generation of campus innovators and demonstrate HKUST's impact on the regional startup ecosystem.
THE PROBLEM
Coordinating an anniversary publication involves intense logistical bottlenecks—from getting busy founders to agree to interviews, to managing editorial timelines and ensuring multi-layer university approvals are met before a hard banquet deadline.
THE SOLUTION
Led the end-to-end production pipeline by curating and securing the commitment of 30 startup founders, managing team interview workflows, and coordinating final proofreading with HKUST to successfully print and deliver over 300 copies ahead of the celebration banquet.
