MSSS New Student Welcome Gala! 🎉

The Library team had a fantastic time meeting everyone and sharing our tips for making the most of the Library. Looking back, we realized a special milestone: we first joined the MSSS new student orientation in 2016, making this our 10-year anniversary of welcoming you all! 🕰️✨

The night was a huge success, filled with amazing student performances, fun games, and great energy. The highlight was learning the history of the University Anthem and singing it together. Feeling that strong OneHKUST spirit was especially meaningful as we celebrate the university’s 35th Anniversary this year! 🦅💙

Welcome to the HKUST family, new students! Hope to see you in the Library often. 📚👋

Study Pods Know-How 💡

From the Library survey feedback, we love learning that you use the pods for job interviews, online meetings, and making high-quality recordings for your assignments! 🎧

But we definitely hear your concerns about pod ventilation and cleanliness.

🧹 Yes, the cleaning ladies regularly clean the insides of the pods, and our facilities team routinely checks the ventilation systems.

🌬️ Why does it feel stuffy at first? To save energy 🌱, the fans automatically turn off when the pod is empty. A sensor triggers the fan when you walk in, so it does take a minute or two to get the air flowing!

💡 Tips for Pod Users:
🚫 Please DO NOT switch off the ventilation/fan while inside!

🎛️ Only the 4-person pods have adjustable fan strength controls.
