Okay, thank you for having me, it's really my honor and pleasure to talk to your students. I was originally from China I grew up in Beijing, but I traveled a lot when I was young and I spent several years in the US for my PhD and after that I spent most of my time in Hong Kong, but I do travel frequently to a lot of places, specifically I like Europe because of the art, food and everything so, I go to Europe whenever I can find a chance. So, related to that I like art, I like paintings. My favorite museum is Museum of Art, there are a lot of impressionists painting, but my favorite painters are American painters actually. One is Edward Hopper, his paintings are very unique in the sense of the lighting he creates, so you feel this longingness when you look at the paintings. And the other one is John singer Sargent, so he has a lot of portrait paintings. Most of his paintings are in Boston, in Museum of Arts or the Stewart Gardner Museum, so whenever I go back to the US, I go to museums to watch their paintings. Other than that I enjoy reading, of course, traveling, music, specifically jazz music, yeah. Sports, I like all kinds of sports, because it's very hard to have regular time slot so I don't do team sports. I do swimming, gym, you know where I can just go by myself.

Okay so we have the undergraduate program but when students come in, they don't have this IS major, so lots of students, when they will be called, they will have BBA, Bachelor of Business Administration degree, they can have concentrations. I don't think in our university people graduate with IS major but they do have this concentration they can show to the employers. We happen to have two Masters programs in the departments, so one is IT management where we teach traditional IT management kind of courses Systems Engineering, programming and all that kind of the traditional IS courses. And also we have master of science with business analytics, this one is new but also the oldest in Hong Kong. I think we have this program for more than eight years and each year we have a solid number applications, and each year we could probably accommodate about one hundred. So it's a very very interesting program that keeps updating the curriculum, so that students will always have exposure to the cutting edge technologies and try to connect with their future job in a business setting. We have, of course, the regular MBA and all those programs. We have PhD program each year we have the two to three students and the students are really of high quality. I really enjoyed teaching this group of students because I taught PG students last semester and some of the students reports of the quality high.

For undergrad we have outreach programs. We visit China, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, sometimes we have delegated to Europe, to the US, so we welcome students from all over the world. In fact Hong Kong has a very big international student body, I think... this number may not be precise, but I think about twenty percent of students are international students. So we even have a government-issued scholarships for international students, so especially if students, if they want to pursue some programs in Hong Kong, they actually have the actual money for them to travel around in Asia, to visit other parts of the Asia Pacific region, so they have a lot of exposure to the most advanced development in technology in nearby regions. For graduate students we have scholarships, so for PhD student, we have four or five years of support but then after that, we do have the additional funding to support them. I guess misconceptions a lot of the local students have that if you come to the IS program, they have to do a lot of programming. Other thing is it is similar to computer science, we try to clarify in our information sessions, that this is really a business degree and the exposure to programming is very complementary to what they will really learn about the business.
