Graduation testimonial: In my quest for knowledge at MUST, my desire to earn a Ph.D. came naturally and gradually, and my resolution cannot be deterred. My initial fortuitous inspiration drove the completion of research via extensive interactions with my supervisors at MUST. My incipient curiosity and interest drove me to finally comprehend my mission of innovation as an incoming Ph.D. student. Early days when I forged on the way to apply for the Ph.D. once left me with dismay. However, I appreciated this anguish, a blessing in disguise that rendered the implicit unwavering support clear and lively. I would express my heartfelt gratitude to my friends and thank you for always being there for me, whether offering a listening ear or providing advice. Your patience, understanding, and wisdom have helped me persist through my toughest challenges. I am indebted to all professors, especially my bachelor’s supervisors, Dr. Chun Lu and Dr. Honghao Zhao. Your expertise, knowledge, and passion have inspired me to be a pioneering scholar and emulate excellence in everything I do. As I move forward, I will carry with me the memories of the wonderful moments we have created together. Thank you for making my journey much more meaningful and enjoyable.

Graduation speech: Time flies, four years of college time has come to an end. I would like to thank my classmates for growing up with me, my family for supporting me and encouraging me, and professors for not only imparting us with knowledge and skills, but also fostering our business mindset and innovation so that we can excel in our future careers.

Major: Business Analytics
Offer Admission: Columbia University，Johns Hopkins University, Melbourne University,
Graduation speech: I can’t be more grateful to the MUST faculty, the comprehensive education that I have received, nice and intelligent classmates, inspiring activities and resources, and wonderful exposure to diverse cultures. I genuinely convey my honest respect to all these memorable experiences and caring people I have met on campus. Four years’ undergraduate life in MUST not only empowers me and enlarges my comfort zone a lot, but also enrich my mind and keep me curious about all the unknown universe.
As Thomas Jefferson put it, “If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” In MUST, I have grown up step by step, embrace all the ups and downs bit by bit, know myself deeper as a person day by day, and cherish the vitality of life throughout my journey.
I truly believe: graduation isn’t the end of a tough journey, but the beginning of a beautiful one. Both happiness and sorrow, gathering and leaving, make up a wonderful and meaning life. I will be always youthful, always weeping, warm and lifted, tough and chill.
At the approach of leaving campus, best wishes to MUST and all the people here!

Goodbye, Macau University of Science and Technology, may you create greater glories in the future!
