Speech by Dean Sheng Ni
Professor Sheng Ni, Dean of MSB, congratulated the graduates of two doctoral degree programs, ten master’s degree programs, and two bachelor’s degree programs, noting that this year marks the 25th anniversary of both MUST and MSB. Currently, approximately 6,800 students are enrolled in MSB, making it the largest college within the University. MSB adheres to its founding principle of being a “PRO” college: P stands for “Professional faculty members”, R stands for “Responsible students”, and O stands for “Outstanding research”. Dean Sheng emphasized that MSB students consistently demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility — in class, academic research, and various on- and off-campus activities. MSB graduates possess diverse qualities and achievements, with many holding leadership positions as corporate executives, equipped with rich practical experience and outstanding leadership, combining academic theory with practical applications to significantly impact businesses and society. Additionally, MSB students have actively participated in regional and international competitions, achieving remarkable results. Notably, MSB students have won top-three placements multiple times in the Macao regional round of the “Global Management Challenge” and have championed the national grand prize — the highest honor in the “FinTech Innovation Competition for National College Students” — for two consecutive years. These accolades not only showcase the exceptional strength and competitiveness of MSB students but also enhance the prestige of MSB and MUST. Finally, Dean Sheng expressed her hopes that graduates, whether continuing their studies, entering the workforce, or starting their own businesses, will embrace passion and innovation, shining brightly in their chosen fields and achieving their life goals.
