The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) has named its \u201cN Building\u201d as \u201cLo Hui Kit San Building\u201d in appreciation of Dr Alexander Law Sau Wang\u2019s generous donation of HK$50 million which will support the construction of the University\u2019s new academic building, the Creative Humanities Hub, as well as the establishment of the \u201cDr Alexander Sau Wang Law Fund for Research in Global Cultural Dynamics\u201d. The Building\u2019s naming also pays tribute to the late Mrs Lo Hui Kit San, mother of Dr Law, for her continuous support of education in Hong Kong.\u00a0<\/p>

The appreciation and naming ceremony was held on 18 October 2023. A statue of Mrs Lo Hui Kit San, located on the ground floor of the Lo Hui Kit San Building was also unveiled on the same day to recognise Dr Law\u2019s support and honour Mrs Lo Hui Kit San for her kindness, compassion, and philanthropic commitment, which deeply influenced Dr Law\u2019s charitable acts towards the University.<\/p>

The Ceremony was officiated by Dr Alexander Law; Ms Diana Cesar, HSUHK Chairman of the Board of Governors; Dr Patrick Poon, Governor and Chairman of HSUHK Fundraising and Donation Committee and Foundation Management Committee; and Professor Simon S M Ho, President of HSUHK. \u00a0<\/p>

In her welcome remarks, Ms Diana Cesar, Chairman of the Board of Governors expressed sincere gratitude to Dr Law for his tremendous support. She said, \u201cDr Alexander Law inherited Mrs Lo Hui Kit San\u2019s enthusiasm for education. \u00a0He is an adjunct professor at the School of Humanities and Social Science and was awarded the Doctor of Humanities honoris causa<\/em> by HSUHK. Since 2021, Dr Law has been delivering lectures for the School to share his knowledge and insights on art and design, urban planning, business management and psychology. Now, he has made a magnanimous donation to support us in constructing the \u2018Creative Humanities Hub\u2019 to enhance our teaching and learning facilities and improve teaching quality.\u201d<\/p>

During his speech, Dr Alexander Law expressed sincere gratitude to Mrs Lo Hui Kit San\u2019s generous contribution to the family and society, saying \u201cOur mother was an extraordinary woman who demonstrated inner peace and abundant leadership skills throughout her life. She will always be in our hearts as a loving mother, a trustworthy mentor, and an innovative and reliable leader in our business.\u201d He noted that the ceremony marked a noble and important milestone in the development of higher education in Hong Kong, and wished HSUHK continued growth and prosperity.<\/p>

In his appreciation remarks, President Simon Ho conveyed heartfelt gratitude to Dr Law for his encouragement and support for HSUHK\u2019s development. President Ho said that the University will continue to make every effort to demonstrate its unique role in the community, and ensure students can unleash their potential. \u00a0He also reiterated HSUHK\u2019s pledge to nurture young talent with critical thinking, innovative minds, caring attitudes, moral values, and social responsibility.<\/p>

The donation from Dr Law will also help set up the \u201cDr Alexander Sau Wang Law Fund for Research in Global Cultural Dynamics\u201d, to be led by Professor Tam Kwok-kan, Dean of the School of Humanities and Social Science, to promote research of global dynamics in cultural formations and serve as a platform for international research and global cultural exchange. Conferences, forums and fieldwork leading to publications will also be conducted to fulfil the objectives of the Project.<\/p>
