YIP, Wing-san Sunny (Global Economics and Finance)

Recipient of Student Exemplary Award 2021-22

As a student of Global Economics and Finance, I am always excited to equip myself with sufficient economics and finance knowledge to face the ever-changing industry and challenges in the global financial markets. The all-rounded curriculum helps me to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world situation.
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage students and freshmen to participate in different activities and develop your own characters and interests during your time at CUHK and Shaw College. For myself, I took on multiple duties including being the Chairman and Vice-chairman of college activities like Shawlane, Shaw College Founder’s Day and Orientation Camp. I don’t want to restrict your path here as I discovered that, when I join more activities and meet more new friends, I discover there are many opportunities out there. Probably through joining different activities you will also find your lifelong companions as I do!
I think my motto guides me along my journey in CUHK – “You are way better than you think”. I always keep this in mind so that I am not afraid of trying new things, building new social circles and reaching personal goals. Trust me, a 4-year time would definitely be too short for you to achieve everything so just don’t hesitate!
Lastly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Shaw College for providing me with a place to thrive and shine in my university life. Shaw College is a place where people from different backgrounds meet and a perfect place to kickstart your journey and I hereby wish all of you to live a colourful university life here.
