Encouragement from our President

Horizontal Rule [SEPT 96]

Jaime Poon

In July, the management of the Computing Services Centre (CSC) was very much honored to have the chance to discuss vis-a-vis with Professor H.K. Chang , the President of CityU regarding the Centre's operations, difficulties and aspirations.

During his three visits to the CSC, the President attended a computer presentation on CSC's operations, had a guided tour around the Centre, and held an open discussion with our colleagues. In the meeting, different views on the University's as well as the Centre's future direction, difficulties encountered and possible solutions were exchanged. All of these activites were held within two weeks which, according to Professor Chang, had broken his record of visits to departments. This probably reflected his high hopes placed on the work of the CSC.

Our CSC colleagues were most impressed by the President at the meeting. The President demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of CSC despite its complexity in operation. More so, they were much delighted to learn about the President's keen concern for the Centre's well being as he considered the Centre as an important part of the University's operations.

Professor Chang stated that, 50 years ago, a university would probably run well without a computer centre, but now, computers are so important that a university could never function properly without the help of a good computer centre.

He further revealed that, prior to joining CityU, he had learnt that the CSC was innovative in the use of information technology. He urged us to keep up the good work and maintain our competitive edges. While being encouraged by the President's recognition of our past efforts and achievement, the CSC is excited by learning that we have the President's whole-hearted support to the goal of staying as the best computer centre in Hong Kong.
