Edi Wong was honored as a 2018 Outstanding Graduate at DEAC's 92nd Annual Conference. Edi used his stories to encourage fellow graduates to embrace the lifelong learning mindset in order to stay competitive and make more contributions to society.

Alan Li completed a BBA in 2009 and an MBA in 2018. His career went from police to fire service and then to business.

Only after qualifications can a person be judged on personal traits such as integrity and abilities."
