On 25 October 2025, the Student Affairs Office hosted the HSUHK President’s Reception for Parents, bringing together more than 200 parents, students and staff in a warm and interactive setting designed to foster deeper understanding between families and the University.

In his remarks, President Simon Ho warmly welcomed parents as vital members of the HSUHK community. He reaffirmed the University’s commitment to quality teaching and nurturing holistic student development, while keeping families informed of the University’s latest milestones and strategic initiatives.

During the key dialogue session, students Julia Zhu (BBA (Hons) Marketing, Year 2), and Lai Man-hin (BSocSc (Hons) Asian Studies, Year 3), reflected on their transition from secondary school to university life. Complementing their insights, Dr Dacon Dai, University Counsellor, provided thoughtful guidance on parenting.

The event also featured an open exchange with senior management, an interflow session with faculty members, and informational booths showcasing student services and university life. Attendees were also taken on campus tours, during which they explored HSUHK’s teaching facilities and award-winning green buildings.
