New Computing Alumni Association (CAA) Executive Committee

Message from new Computing Alumni Association (CAA) Executive Committee

Greetings from CAA to all our members, COMP Alumni and friends!

I am honoured and privileged to assume the role of President of CAA. Indeed, the growth of CAA has been propelled collectively by all advisors, committee members and CAA life members. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of them for their efforts, commitments and volunteering for making CAA one of the successful alumni associations in PolyU.

Our team is working hard to build on the success of the past years while also trying new things that will drive us to the future.

"Our efforts to create bold futures for our students and the COMP community couldn’t happen without your support!"

The four pillars of our strategy form the foundation for reaching our mission:

To develop and strengthen ties between alumni and the Department of Computing by providing diverse and tangible benefits including networking opportunities, special events and open lectures that foster the relationship between staff, students and graduates. And, to get alumni involved in the Department’s initiatives, so that each individual feels valued and plays an important part in the COMP community.

1. Connect with COMP Alumni. We will offer a variety of activities, resources and platforms to stay connected with COMP alumni.

2. Serve the community. We will participate in social services and mobilise alumni to become active members of the community, exerting a lasting and positive impact on society at large.

3. Learn continuously. We will arrange different learning activities to promote the knowledge of technological innovations and the Department’s research outputs to alumni and the public.

4. Social networking. We will organise healthy and congenial gatherings that are welcoming and engaging for COMP alumni of all ages, as well as their partners, families, and guests.

I thank each of you for your contributions over the years and for making the CAA as successful and dynamic as it is today. Hope you will also benefit from CAA and look forward to meeting you at future CAA events.

Best to you all!

Darron Sun

President
