Dear Alumni
I hope that you have been keeping safe and healthy amid the ongoing uncertainties brought about by the pandemic. In spite of the present challenges, I am pleased to share with you that PolyU has remained fully devoted to its mission of making positive contributions to Hong Kong, the Nation and the world.
For example, earlier this month I was delighted to attend the inauguration ceremony of PolyU’s Research Centre for Resources Engineering towards Carbon Neutrality (RCRE), which featured a keynote address by Mr Wong Kam-sing, Secretary for the Environment of the Hong Kong SAR Government. The Centre will leverage PolyU’s expertise in waste management to help combat climate change, one of the most pressing issues facing humanity today.
I would also like to share with you that PolyU welcomed New Year’s Day 2022 with a grand flag-raising ceremony held on campus. The ceremony was attended by over 500 guests, staff and students, wishing continued prosperity and vibrancy for the Nation and Hong Kong. PolyU will continue to raise the national flag every day and hold weekly flag-raising ceremonies, in addition to grand flag-raising ceremonies on special days.
2022 is a significant year for PolyU, since it represents the University’s 85th Anniversary. To mark this milestone, we will hold a year-long programme of celebrations under the theme of “We Are PolyU, Together We Excel”. I hope that you, as alumni of PolyU, will join us in the anniversary events ahead.
Last but not least, the Lunar New Year is almost upon us. Let me extend my best wishes to you all for a very happy, healthy and prosperous Year of the Tiger!
Yours sincerely
Jin-Guang Teng
President
