Carman Leung, a student of the Bachelor of Communication (Hons) in Public Relations and Advertising programme, was recently selected as one of the Top 10 Outstanding Tertiary Students of Hong Kong 2023 by the Hong Kong Youth and Tertiary Students Association.

Carman is enthusiastic about participating in and organising community services. She has been a volunteer leader and a Hong Kong Youth Ambassador. She has volunteered at major international events such as the Hong Kong Cycling Festival and the Hong Kong International Sevens Rugby Tournament. She is also one of the outstanding youth volunteer representatives for the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, responsible for the equestrian competition venue operations.

Being actively engaged in university life and public affairs, Carmen has served as an emcee and organiser for various activities held by the Office of Student Affairs. She also represented HKBU to attend the 2023 Policy Address Consultation Meeting and receive media interviews to express youth opinions.  She was a recipient of the China Telecom Scholarship, the HSBC Vocational Education Scholarship, and the 1st runner-up in the Student Category of the Hong Kong Emcee Competition.

Carman expressed her gratitude for the opportunities and support offered by the University throughout her studies. She will continue to serve the education sector and society in different roles, and showcase the quality of Hong Kong youth. She believes that every experience has a meaning, and young people should actively engage in service and sharing, pass on their knowledge and values, and have confidence in themselves.

Nearly 100 tertiary students competed for the Outstanding Tertiary Student of Hong Kong award this year. The event aims to discover, celebrate and nurture tertiary students with potential and who care deeply about society and the future development of the Greater Bay Area. It also promotes students’ sense of national identity and holistic development, by inspiring them with the stories of the award recipients, and encouraging them to take ownership and make contributions to society.
