On 3-4 and 7-8 September, the Shaw Sports Complex was transformed into a vibrant galaxy of opportunities as students came together to explore boundless possibilities! For the four exciting days, nearly 16,000 PolyU students joined various SAO student organisations through the Campus Life Festival 2026, making it one of the most energetic kick-offs starts to the academic year! Organised by the Student Affairs Office (SAO) together with nearly 50 affiliated interest clubs and non-local student associations, the Festival showcased a universe of student life experiences. From arts and culture to sports, recreation and music, every booth offered new opportunities to discover passions, build peer network and embark on new adventures. A heartfelt thank you to Prof. Ben Young, Vice President (Student and Global Affairs), and Prof. Horace Mui, Dean of Students, who joined the Festival and actively engaged with club booth organisers. Touring the vibrant stalls, they shared the students' enthusiasm and excitement as clubs recruited new members to kick off an inspiring new academic year!. SAO will continue to walk alongside all members on their journey of exploration and growth. Let’s keep discovering new possibilities and shining among the stars together!
