Green light for undergraduate veterinary programme
In August 2018, CityU held a naming ceremony for its veterinary college, subsequently known as the Jockey Club College of Veterinary Medicine and Life Sciences and run in collaboration with Cornell University. Guests at the naming ceremony included the Hon Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief Executive, HKSAR Government (centre), Dr Simon Ip, former Chairman, Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) (fourth left), Mr Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, Chief Executive Officer, HKJC (second left), Mr Kevin Yeung, Secretary for Education, HKSAR Government (second right) and Mr Carlson Tong, University Grants Committee Chairman (fourth right).
At the ceremony, Mr Tong said the UGC would recommend that the Hong Kong government accepts CityU's proposal to establish a publicly funded Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine programme. Mrs Lam was highly supportive of this initiative and said “I am happy to say that we are willing and happy to endorse the UGC's recommendation” in her address.
