Date: August 27 - November 25, 2026

Venue: HKUST Clear Water Bay and Guangzhou campuses

To celebrate HKUST’s 35th Anniversary, the Dean of Students’ Office, the Health, Safety and Environment Office, and the Shaw Auditorium Unit are joining forces for an inspiring year-long initiative: 35 blood drives across 2026, spanning both the Clear Water Bay and Guangzhou campuses.  The first three-day blood drive was kicked off on March 5 – 7, 2026, and attracted over 300 faculty, students, and alumni from both campuses. As of June 2026, 625 units of blood have been collected, with 704 blood donors registered across the 15 completed blood drives.

This milestone campaign unites the entire HKUST community through a shared mission of safeguarding public health. By donating blood, we will directly support the Hong Kong Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service and bring life-saving assistance to patients who urgently depend on blood donations every single day.  

As part of the 35th Anniversary Celebration, the initiative reflects HKUST’s longstanding spirit of volunteerism, civic engagement, and commitment to social responsibility. It also reinforces the University’s dedication to healthcare innovation—supporting our strategic plans to establish Hong Kong’s third medical school.

Join us, roll up your sleeves, and help make every drop count—be a lifesaver today.
