Voices that Echo Beyond Graduation: HA Valedictorians Speak from the Heart at HSUHK Ceremonies 2024

Every graduation marks an ending, but also a beginning—a moment suspended between reflection and hope. At the HSUHK Graduation Ceremonies in December 2024, five outstanding students from the Honours Academy (HA) stood before their fellow graduates, families, professors, and guests, not only as representatives of their Schools, but as the voices of an entire class.

They were the valedictorians.
They were our storytellers.
They were unforgettable.

We are immensely proud to celebrate the heartfelt contributions of the following HA students, who served as valedictorians for their respective Schools: (in the ceremonial order of their appearance)

Ms Stella YAP – School of Business

Mr Stephen CHEUNG – School of Business

Mr Sunny LEE – School of Communication

Ms Charlotte HO – School of Decision Sciences

Ms Icy LEUNG – – School of Decision Sciences

These five students did not simply deliver speeches. They poured their hearts into their words. They wrote their own stories—full of gratitude, struggle, laughter, and dreams. They practiced tirelessly, online and face-to-face, striving not for perfection, but for authenticity. They supported one another every step of the way, as true peers do.

This is the spirit of our HA family.

A spirit of leadership with humility,
of service with sincerity,
of excellence with heart.
A community where students lift each other up, step forward with courage, and speak not only for themselves—but for one another.
