Welcome to the 2020-2021 academic year.

Hope you all stay healthy and safe.

Given the community-wide outbreak of the pandemic, the University decided to deliver all classes online. Although it is a hard time for all of us, the COMS community spirit remains strong and vital. The Department has responded to these recent challenges with ingenuity and compassion. We truly hope that we will meet on campus one day.

We are delighted to welcome Jos Bartels as our Associate Professor of the Department of Communication Studies!

Prior to his appointment at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), he was the Assistant Professor in Communication Science at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and at Tilburg University, the Netherlands.

He is also an enthusiastic and popular teacher among students who won the Best Teacher Award 2019-2020 of Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences, Tilburg University, the Netherlands.

His recent research on Supervisor Phubbing Phenomenon in Organizations: Determinants and Impacts will be published shortly.

In addition to his astonishing teaching profile and distinguished research achievement, Jos is a running lover who runs 5 times a week. He also ran for his first half-marathon in 2020.

He encourages himself and all of us “Treat others, like you wanted to be treated”.
