Initiated by Student Development Services (SDS), the Induction Day gathered over 800 new students on 15 August to discover more about university life and to explore the campus as well as the support available to them.

Professor Way Kuo, University President, and Professor Horace Ip Ho-shing, Vice-President (Student Affairs), officiated at the kick-off ceremony. In his welcoming remarks, Professor Kuo urged students to treasure the opportunity to study at university and to develop friendships extensively. He also encouraged students to go on exchange trips to broaden their horizon.

Dr Raymond Chan Kwok-hong, Dean of Students, held an alumni crossover talk at the ceremony, while the SU Drama Society and the CityU Karatedo Team also gave very exciting performances.

With the support of CityU alumni, SDS also held orientation workshops which aimed at inspiring the new students with much information, experience and guidance.

Li Chun-yi, a freshman from the Department of Electronic Engineering, attended the Induction Day. He remarked that the workshop and campus tour were very useful and had helped him to get his bearings at CityU.

The event was concluded with a fun team-building game. Professor Kuo, Professor Ip, Dr Raymond Chan Kwok-hong, Dr Wong Chi-tim, Director of SDS, and Mr Wilson Lam Kin, Director of Student Residence Office, along with new and current students came together to spell out the message“I love CityU”.
