Over
24,000 secondary school students and members of the public
visited PolyU on the Education Info Weekend held on 12 and
13 October 2002 to obtain first hand information on our
study programmes and campus facilities. Some 52 careers
teachers also joined the Forum for Careers Teachers held
on 12 October.
The
six faculties and their 29 constituent academic departments,
the Students' Union and various student groups, AS and other
academic support and student services departments, HKCC
and SPEED all took an active part in this event, involving
over 1,800 staff and students.
With
the slogan "65 years of education and innovation, 200,000
alumni the pillars of our community", the Info Weekend
featured a variety of activities including exhibitions,
seminars, video shows, guided tours, student and staff performances,
and stall games. The activities brought about a festive
atmosphere around the campus.

The
"PolyU Broadcast Station", which was held for
the second year, also added some colour to the event. Professional
disc jockeys were invited to broadcast interviews of alumni
and employers, chat with our student ambassadors and share
a day of fun and songs with the visitors.
In
order to help senior secondary students make their choices
of study, the Academic Secretariat had arranged two talks
on "Admission Tips" at JCA. During these talk
sessions, our University student ambassadors advised the
secondary school students on admission arrangements, selection
criteria and shared with them their personal experience
of making their choices for their JUPAS applications.
 |
| New
initiatives of the event included "PolyU
Tongue Twister" in which three interesting
tongue twisters were created by CBS to help implant
positive impressions/messages about our University
in the mind of the visitors in a fun-filled setting. |
The
Performances staged outside Li Ka Shing Tower by both
students and staff also added to the festive atmosphere.
Both students and staff showed their talents in various
aspects like singing, dancing, acting, etc.
SAO
had arranged guided tours for visitors to our new
Student Halls of Residence. In addition, SAO also
held an activity of "PolyU Sportsmen", which
showcased the outstanding achievements of our students
in various sports in a lively manner. Both activities
gave the public some snapshots of the non-academic
aspect of PolyU's colourful campus life.
The
"PolyU's House of Innovation" also showcased
the expertise and achievements of the PolyU in its
Research and Development endeavours.
