🌍✨ IBBA Students Join Responsible Business Workshop 2026 ✨🌍

We are proud to share that our IBBA students, LUXTREEYA JENANUWAT and RANCHANA KHAMTHA, participated in the Responsible Business Workshop (RBW) 2026 organized by the CUHK Business School, The Chinese University of Hong Kong 🇭🇰

The programme combined a series of online workshops held throughout March and April with a 5-day study tour in Hong Kong this May, offering students valuable opportunities to explore responsible business practices, sustainability, and global perspectives alongside participants from diverse backgrounds. 🌱📈

Through this meaningful international learning experience, our students gained deeper insights into ethical leadership and sustainable business development while representing IBBA on the global stage. 🌏

We would also like to sincerely thank CUHK Business School for inviting our students to participate in this inspiring and meaningful programme. 💙💛

🎓✨ IBBA Graduation Dinner 2026 ✨🎓

On May 23rd, we gathered for a warm, memorable graduation dinner to celebrate the end of an incredible journey and the beginning of new adventures. 💙

In the evening, we watched a heartfelt graduation video, thoughtfully created by our student Tran Minh Chi, filled with precious memories and moments that reminded us of how far we’ve come together. 🎥✨

Graduates also received small blessing gifts prepared by the IBBA Office, and most importantly, we had the rare chance to slow down, reconnect, and share conversations with one another before stepping into the next chapter of our lives. 🌸

A special thank you to IBBASA for all the support and coordination behind the event, and to Jonny Chen, Ari Chen, and, of course, our Chair, Prof. Wong, for joining us and making the evening even more meaningful. 🙏✨

To the Class of 2026, thank you for being part of the IBBA. No matter where life takes you next, we hope you will always carry these memories with you. 🌏💫

🌟 11/24, Monday Gust Speaker Talk Highlights

Interdisciplinary Exploration in Business and Management Studies marks our final session of the semester.

We were honored to have Ms. Sherry Hsieh, a Counseling Psychologist, join us for this special talk.

Today’s session encouraged students to rethink “career” not just as a job or something significant, but as a way of living that you build over time.

🌱 Career Mindset
• Stay curious & flexible
• Try things, don’t overthink
• Focus on what you can control

🔍 Self-Discovery
• What feels natural = your strengths
• CliftonStrengths & Holland Code can guide your direction
• Use campus resources: counseling & Career Center

💼 Soft Skills & Connections
• Time management, stress regulation, communication
• Build relationships, they become future support

💬 A note to first-year students:

You may feel mentally well now, and that’s wonderful.

However, academic, social, or life stress can accumulate quietly.

Please remember to reach out for help, stay connected with loved ones, and utilize school resources.
