Promoting environmental awareness among the alumni community is the mission of Anthony. He is keen to connect like-minded alumni who are committed to making our world more sustainable to advocate green initiative through the Convocation.

Having worked in various industries since graduation, Anthony finds his true calling in the environmental field. Industrial waste management has always been extremely costly and the industry tends to rely on energy inefficient incineration which is harmful to the environment. So he decided to establish a partnership in sludge management that uses energy-efficient technology to put sludge to good use, for example, as secondary fuel for power plants.

Speaking of his education at CityU, Anthony says it helped him to cultivate a spirit of continuous learning. His experience as a Research Assistant at the University helped him to develop the ability to conduct the sort of research that led him to the field of sludge treatment.

Being a member of the Students’ Union in his schooldays also helped him to develop the communication and negotiation skills he has needed in business.


Allen Ho, Standing Committee Member
BBA (Hons) Financial Engineering (2001)
Financial Planner Manager, Branch Manager, The Prudential Assurance Co. Ltd

Allen had no qualms about waking up in the twilight hours to cheer on the valiant CityU runners participating in the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon last month. He is proud of the sports achievements of our alma mater. Being a sports lover, his most evocative memories of University life are related to sports. He was vice captain of the swimming team in 2001 and was awarded “The Most Dedicated Athlete” in 2000-2001 when he was a student.

Allen’s extensive involvement in sports activities trained him to become a good team player. He treasures the virtues of team spirit and adopts a positive outlook towards the ups and downs of life. His experience in serving the Students’ Union also enriched his event organising skills and sense of social responsibility.

Being an SC member, Allen aspires to strengthen the affiliation of fellow alumni with the alma mater by using it as a communication bridge between them.


Danny Ho, Standing Committee Member
AA Applied Chinese Studies (2004)
Client Relations Executive, Jobs DB Hong Kong Limited

After serving the Convocation for more than a year, Danny says his most impressive experience was the Alumni Summer Camp held on 17 and 18 July last year. He was a key member who organised the fun-filled event that was attended by more than 130 alumni and their family members. Coordinating the large-scale event after his day job was not easy. But the vibrant atmosphere and smiling faces of the participants proved his hard work paid off. The modest member of the post-80s generation attributed the success to the efforts of all SC members, alumni volunteers and the Convocation Secretariat.

Danny’s sense of affiliation with the University developed when he served as an internal vice-president of the Students’ Union. The experiences of liaising with various stakeholders has trained his interpersonal skills, and the many overnight sessions that he spent with other student leaders discussing University and social issues has sharpened his independent thinking.

During his remaining tenure on this relatively new alumni entity, Danny hopes to help lay the foundation of the Convocation by bringing together alumni from all walks of life to support University development.
