Congratulations to Dr. Carey Cheung, Oral Defense passed on Jun 7, 2016!

I studied full-time doctoral program in the United States for one year but did not finished the course and went back to Hong Kong for work as an IT professional and part-time Instructor in local University for 28 years.I have a dream that it should be fulfilled in my life, “To finish my doctoral degree”.

Four years ago, I worked as an Operation Manger in Dongguan and started to search the doctoral program offered byvarious University but did not find any programs that were suitable for me.That's because my study time didn't allow me to be so flexible.Someday, I went through the list in Hong Kong Education Bureau and found the name of UMT offering the doctoral program. After reviewed the UMT website, it offered a distance learning programwhichwas suitableto my particularcondition, so I applied without any hesitate.

Three years have passed, I overcome many challenges in the learning process., particularly working on the dissertation. It turned out to be both exciting and rewarding as I was in a fortunate position to be able to combine both worlds, an integral theory perspective at the UMT, and a practical view on the topic from working in Dongguan and Hong Kong.I recognized that the pursuit of my DBA is not a solo journey and without all these people in UMT that have assisted me throughout these years, none of this would ever have happened.

There are one word in my life, “As long as there is an ideal, everything can be achieved.” With this distance learning theprogram,I make my ideal come true. This doctorate program is only the beginning, and as a reminder, that learning is a continuous process in my life.
