Orientation Info Days 2025

Orientation Info Days 2025 — President's Welcome

This year, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) hosts its annual Orientation Info Days on 27 and 28 August, with over 2,300 freshmen attending the President’s Welcome held this morning. Organised by the Student Affairs Office, the event was held today at the Jockey Club Auditorium, which was also live-streamed to enable freshmen to participate simultaneously at the Wong Man and Tang Kit Wah Global Student Hub and various other locations on campus, marking the beginning of their university journey.

Prof. Jin-Guang TENG, President of PolyU, welcomed the freshmen to the PolyU family and introduced the University’s rich history and its mission to nurture socially responsible professionals and leaders with a strong sense of national pride and a global perspective. He remarked, “As an innovative, world-class university, PolyU pursues excellence in education, research and knowledge transfer for the benefit of Hong Kong, the Nation and the world. I hope that our graduates will become leaders of innovation, that our research will lead to innovations with direct societal benefits, and that the spirit of innovation will be embedded in all our endeavours. I wish you a rewarding journey at PolyU, where you will not only gain professional knowledge but also grow into a better person in all aspects.”

The President’s Welcome featured a variety of sharing and performance sessions. Dr Bruce WANG, recipient of the Outstanding PolyU Young Alumni Award 2022 in Entrepreneurial Achievement and Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EcoFlow, delivered an inspiring talk about his academic and personal growth at PolyU, encouraging freshmen to pursue their dreams. Current students also introduced freshmen to campus life and the diverse learning opportunities available. The event included a student dance performance, as well as musical performances by the PolyU Orchestra and the PolyU Choir, showcasing the vibrant artistic life at PolyU.

 

Orientation Info Days 2025 — Orientation Showcase

Following President's Welcome on 27 August, the excitement continued at Orientation Showcase on 28 August!

Held on 28 August at the Shaw Sports Complex, the event featured over 40 booths organised by various administrative units, student-led interest clubs and societies, attracting over 3,500 freshmen who came to explore.

It was a wonderful opportunity for our freshmen to gain a comprehensive overview of PolyU’s diverse range of support services, co-curricular activities, and campus life, while interacting with staff and senior students – helping them gear up for an amazing PolyU journey!

We were especially thrilled to have Prof. Jin-Guang Teng, President of PolyU, Prof. Ben Young, Vice President (Student and Global Affairs), Prof. Horace Mui, Interim Dean of Students, along with the management team of the Student Affairs Office, visited the booths. They chatted warmly with the freshmen, and encouraged them to actively participate in and enrich their university journey within a vibrant learning environment.

Once again, a huge welcome to all new students! Here’s to a fulfilment experience at PolyU!
