From HA to the City: Prelish and JK, both from HA6, Shined at HSUHK’s 1st DDA Orientation

A high-stakes ballroom. A brand-new doctoral programme. A room full of senior management, distinguished guests, and incoming DDA students, and two HA fellows setting the tone with calm confidence. On 29 August 2026, Prelish Gurung and JK Li (both HA 6th cohort) took the stage as MCs for HSUHK’s first-ever DDA Programme Orientation at the Rosewood Hotel.

They did more than hosting. They carried the room.

Great emceeing is often invisible: the transitions feel effortless, the tone stays steady, and the programme flows so naturally that guests forget how much coordination it takes behind the scenes. That’s exactly what Prelish and JK delivered.

Prelish and JK’s success reflects what HA stands for: students who step up with competence and heart, contribute to the HSUHK community, and leave meaningful footprints with every stakeholder they serve, demonstrating HA as a true incubator of future leaders.
