Incoming Mainland students and their parents gained their first impressions of CityU on 27 July 2013 when alumni leaders Mr Jeffrey Li [Bsc (Honours) in Surveying (Law Minor)] and Ms Shirley Liu [BBA (Honours) in Accountancy] shared their fruitful experiences at the pre-arrival orientation sessions in Beijing and Shanghai respectively. Organised by the Mainland and External Affairs Office, the sessions gave the students-to-be an insight of university life and how the alumni’s study experiences had benefited their subsequent achievements in their careers. Jeffrey shared that leadership skills and team spirit were critical elements for success and career development, while Shirley highlighted the importance of social network.

The Alumni Relations Office is most grateful to Jeffrey and Shirley as well as other alumni leaders who have helped strengthen the Mainland alumni network and contributed much of their time to the University’s other outreach endeavours there.

A group of CityU alumni in Singapore joined a luncheon hosted by Hong Kong’s Chief Secretary for Administration, Mrs Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor on 31 July 2013. They treasured the opportunity to meet Mrs Lam along with alumni of other universities and members of the Hong Kong community living in Singapore.

As well as briefing her audience on the latest developments in Hong Kong, Mrs Lam encouraged them to contribute to a closer relationship between Hong Kong and Singapore. The lunch gathering was part of Mrs Lam’s official visit to Singapore in which she also met government officials to understand more about Singapore’s population policy.
