"INSPIRE" Mentorship Programme 2024/25 and Annual Gathering

The University-wide mentorship programme “INSPIRE” enhances PolyU students’ holistic education experience, facilitating their personal, academic and professional development through a robust network of role models and prominent leaders. Since its launch in 2020, the programme has received support from 470 mentors and engaged over 2,100 mentees from across all disciplines. Guided by the insights and experiences of mentors from the “INSPIRE” community, PolyU students are inspired and empowered, achieving excellence in their endeavours.

To celebrate the programme’s continued success, the “INSPIRE” Mentorship Programme Annual Gathering 2024 was held on 9 January 2025, bringing together around 270 mentors and mentees to share their invaluable mentoring journeys over the year. The event, themed “Igniting Flourishing Paths”, commenced with a celebratory toast from PolyU Council and Court members who also serve as “INSPIRE” mentors, joined by the PolyU Senior Management Team. Highlights of the Gathering included appreciation videos that showcased the remarkable connections forged through “INSPIRE”, and performances by the PolyU Student Affairs Office Chinese Orchestra to celebrate the spirit of camaraderie nurtured by the programme.
