More than 90 alumni from the Division returned to campus on 14 March 2026 to reconnect with fellow graduates and professors at the LIFS Alumni Homecoming 2026.
The event started with a welcoming cocktail reception followed by a buffet lunch. Prof. Guojun BU, Head of Division, shared recent developments and achievements of LIFS, while Prof. Yung Hou WONG, Dean of Science, provided updates on the progress and future plans of HKUST’s Medical School.
Representatives from the Life Science Alumni Association (LSAA) introduced their activities and upcoming plans. Two new initiatives from the Development & Alumni Office (DAO) – Alumni Commons and the Class Ambassador Program – were also presented. Faculty members then led a celebratory toast before group photos were taken.

In the afternoon, alumni visited the newly launched Alumni Commons, designed to enhance alumni engagement and community building.
The gathering served as a meaningful opportunity for alumni and faculty to reconnect, build new ties, and stay updated with the Division’s latest developments. LIFS looks forward to continuing such reunions to strengthen alumni bonds and foster a lasting sense of belonging.
