[Message from University Hall]
University Hall was delighted to host its 70th Anniversary High Table Dinner on 7 November 2026, bringing together generations of U-Hallites for an evening of celebration, reunion, and shared heritage.
We were honoured to welcome distinguished guests including HKU President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Xiang Zhang 張翔, JP; Executive Vice-President (Administration & Finance) Mrs Cherry Tse Ling Kit Ching 謝凌潔貞, GBS, JP; and Dean of Student Affairs Professor Yeung Wai-kwok Kelvin 楊偉國.
The evening also warmly welcomed prominent alumni, including Dr. Norman Leung Nai-pang 梁乃鵬, GBS, OBE, JP and Dr. Leong Che-hung 梁智鴻, GBM, GBS, OBE, JP, alongside many alumni returning to celebrate this historic milestone.
Over the past seven decades, University Hall has witnessed the enduring brotherhood, cherished traditions, and treasured memories that have shaped its unique history. The Dinner offered alumni and current students a meaningful occasion to connect, share stories, and honour the legacy that continues to unite U-Hallites across generations. Adding to the occasion, the University Hall Archives Group presented a curated display of historic artefacts, including the hall’s silver cups and the Malayan Flag back from the 60s.
The High Table Dinner capped off a season of milestone celebrations, following the successful 70th Anniversary Open Day held in early October. In early October, University Hall opened its doors to share their heritage and lead multilingual tours through their living spaces with the public. This is an initiative conceived and executed entirely by the student residents of University Hall.
In addition to the festivities, the anniversary celebrations featured a friendly Football Match, bringing together generations of U-Hallites on the pitch. The spirited game showcased the enduring athletic tradition and vibrant camaraderie of University Hall, as alumni and current residents shared moments of friendly competition, sportsmanship, and lasting brotherhood across generations.
As a vehicle of heritage, University Hall carries forward the dreams and traditions of every generation. The celebration reminded us that, while the Hall has brought us this far, the journey is far from over—and the bonds of brotherhood will continue to inspire us as we move forward together.
