Several dedicated Lingnan staff members and outstanding undergraduates across different disciplines were recognised for their achievements and contributions to the University.
These include Prof Leng Mingming, Dean of the Faculty of Business, who has received this year’s Dr and Mrs James Tak Wu Awards for Outstanding Service (Academic Staff Award) for his leadership and dedication to promoting the development of diverse business disciplines, such as insurance and risk management, e-business and supply chain management, and computing and decision sciences, since joining Lingnan University in 2005.
