LIU Hiu-chung, Julia (Global Communication)

Recipient of Student Exemplary Award 2020-21

As a student of Global Communication, I am enthusiastic regarding the communication field. Especially in the School of Journalism and Communication, students are granted great room for improvisation and development, along with proper guidance and lead. Despite the fact that I am leaving the journalism and video production industries, I believe the training from school is of great help to work and study. Practical production skills and knowledge can be easily acquired in this day and age, but the theory and mindset beneath is the most valuable asset of all. Dear freshmen, please expose yourself to new things and environments from outside of your major. Even you do not find them useful at the moment, when opportunities strike, they will be your weapon. Steve Jobs once said, ‘You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards', and before you know, you have already created those dots.
