SENtastic Leader Program

About

The SENtastic Leader Program is a unique mentorship initiative at HKUST dedicated to commitment to equity, building a welcoming, inclusive and mutually supportive environment for students with diverse abilities and backgrounds since 2021.

Apart from fostering meaningful connections within our diverse community, the SENtastic Leaders serve as representatives and advocates, driving impactful initiatives that transform our campus into a truly inclusive space and highlighting everyone’s unique strengths.

 

Vision

The program envisions a campus where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential, regardless of their abilities and backgrounds.
