PolyU places a significant emphasis on leadership development as part of its holistic education. To inspire and motivate students to further develop their leadership capabilities, the Presidential Student Leadership Award has been launched in the 2022/23 academic year.
The Award honours students who have demonstrated exceptional leadership performance and qualities at PolyU and in the wider community, good academic achievement, strong communication skills, as well as a clear commitment to serving society.
A total of 27 students from different departments, faculties and schools received the Award this year. Nine of them received the Faculty/School Award.
