The College Medal is awarded annually to a final-year undergraduate student in recognition of his/ her academic excellence and all-round personal qualities. I am pleased to announce that Miss Samantha Yijing ZHANG, a 2009 graduate of BEng (Hons) in Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management, is selected for the College Medal 2009.

Miss ZHANG is a dedicated and talented student who has been placed on the Dean's List for five times throughout her 3-year undergraduate studies at CityU. Her outstanding academic performance has earned her an opportunity of exchange at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US. She has also broadened her horizons during her summer internship at Siemens AG, Germany. Her distinguished attainments have proven that CityU students can be globally competitive. On the other hand, she has demonstrated her strong sense of belonging to CityU and her department by her active participation in CityU's/ departmental student services and activities.

With her all-round abilities and sense of belonging to her alma mater, we strongly believe that she would become an excellent ambassador of the College as well as the University.

Congratulations to Miss ZHANG.
