We are thrilled to announce that Joyce Jiayi Chen and Cora Wenxi Zhu, Year 4 students in our BA (Hons) in English and Applied Linguistics (BAEAL) programme, have been selected as Millennium Fellows in the Class of 2025!
The Millennium Fellowship, co-run by the United Nations Academic Impact and the Millennium Campus Network, is a semester-long leadership development programme that convenes, challenges, and celebrates bold student leadership advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on campus and in communities.
This year, from a record-breaking pool of over 60,000 applicants from 7,500+ campuses worldwide, just 4% were selected, and among them were Joyce and Cora. As part of the Fellowship, more than 4,000 Millennium Fellows across 290+ campuses in countries like the USA, Nigeria, the UK, Australia, India, Kenya, and beyond will participate in this transformative four-month leadership journey, each undertaking a project addressing one or more of the SDGs, applying their learning to create tangible social impact.
We are incredibly proud of Joyce and Cora for representing PolyU and our Department on the global stage. Please join us in congratulating them on this remarkable accomplishment!
