Our sincere appreciation for the valuable contributions by the following retiring directors: John Chan, Sammy Chan, Kristine Lai, Eddie Law and Sammy Lee.<\/span><\/p>\n

The AGM was immediately followed by a Dinner Dance jointly organized by the Alumni Associations of HKU, CU, Polytechnic, Baptist and Lingnan Universities. Over 200 people attended, including 70 HKU alumni and friends. A speech by our Vice-Chancellor, Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, on gene regulations was the highlight. We were also honoured to have Ms. Bernadette Tsui and Ms. Janet Chung from the Development and Alumni Affairs Office of HKU and Dr. Evelyn Man attending.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>Feb 24, 2002 Spring Dinner<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Annual Spring Dinner was held on February 24, 2002 at the Times Dynasty Restaurant in Richmond Hill. There was a good turnout with over 80 people attending.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our guest speaker was Professor Charles Wong, a retired academic from Beijing Sports University. He gave a speech on “How to be Healthy and Fit”. Mrs. Rosanna Ure, Director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, also attended the dinner. Representatives from the student exchange offices of York University and the University of Toronto, HKU Ex-staff Association, Baptist and Lingnan University Alumni Associations were also present. Our mentees (current HKU students on exchange program in Ontario) led a quiz game to test our knowledge of recent development at HKU and managed to draw enthusiastic participation.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>2002 HKU Mentorship Program<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The Alumni Association had been actively supporting the HKU mentorship Program. Each year, a number of current HKU students were exchanged to Ontario universities for one or two semesters to enable them to broaden their horizon and learning experience. A number of our alumni members volunteered as their mentors during their stay to make them feel more at home. The Association invited the “mentees” to the annual spring dinner and it proved to be very successful – the mentees had the opportunity to meet many of their “seniors” and us, in turn, were entertained and energized by their performance and enthusiasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a>2002 Ontario Inter-Collegiate Chinese Debate Competition<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Each year our Association was the scholarship sponsor of the Debate Competition. In addition, many of our alumni members volunteered as judges for the different rounds of the competition. It was time worth spent!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
