CityU Alumni Relations Office organised the CityU Homecoming on 12 March to connect alumni and University community members. A series of inspiring and fun-filled events were featured on this joyful family day, including activities specially organised for the Homecoming by various academic departments, units and alumni groups (view full list of participating units). The Homecoming event has recorded some 3,000 participations from alumni and other members of the CityU community.

Under the theme “Connect, We Grow”, CityU Homecoming 2023 was a valuable opportunity for alumni to connect, exchange ideas and reminisce their fond CityU memories with other University members. They also got updates on University developments and achievements through participating in diverse activities. A total of some 30 intriguing and inspirational events were organised for alumni and families, staff and students. The programme received an overwhelming response of some 3,000 registrations for various events well ahead of the Homecoming day!

To celebrate the support of alumni, an Alumni Appreciation Event was highlighted at the Homecoming, with some 50 alumni leaders from 19 alumni groups gathered on campus. They received a warm vote of thanks from Dr Ron Kwok Chi-wai, Director of the Alumni Relations Office, and took the networking opportunity to interact with their peers and representatives of the academic departments and CityU units on how to support University development.

The heartwarming Homecoming connected participants of different ages and interests, who enjoyed a fulfilling time to “Connect” and “Grow”. A wide variety of events were offered including guided tours to CityU’s state-of-the-art laboratories, HK Tech 300’s IncuHub, and facilities like Student Residence, Library, and Indra and Harry Banga Gallery; amusing activities such as Chinese cultural events, stand-up comedy, and an online Musical show. Besides, a Fun Zone with Sports Carnival brought delightful experiences with laughter for all! Other activities hosted and supported by CityU units and alumni groups such as professional seminars, workshops, handcraft classes and various alumni gatherings provided inspiring learning time for participants.
