HSUHK held a Media Spring Reception on 7 February 2025. Professor Simon Ho, President, alongside Professor Joshua Mok, Provost and Vice-President (Academic and Research); Professor Jeanne Fu, Vice-President (Learning and Student Experience); and Dr Josiah Chan, Vice-President (Organisational Development), shared HSUHK\u2019s latest development to media representatives, including the University\u2019s 45th Anniversary celebratory events, new academic programmes, teaching and learning facilities, as well as accomplishments in campus sustainability initiatives, international collaborations, and entrepreneurial education.<\/p>

At the reception, President Ho also revealed HSUHK\u2019s Character of the Year: \u201c\u9192\u201d (Awaken), which carries great many meanings for the University and larger society. The primary meaning is to express hope that Hong Kong\u2019s economy and social development will further \u201cawaken\u201d this year. Additionally, a call for an \u201cawakening\u201d of the global \u201cwoke\u201d movement is essential, and that incoming policies must be grounded and achieve balance. The character also means \u201csharp\u201d in Cantonese, and expresses hope that HSUHK and members of the public are as \u201csharp\u201d and agile like a snake this year, adapting flexibly and innovation to better respond to, and work with community needs.<\/p>

Journalists also visited the new \u201cMartin Ka Shing Lee Innovation Lab\u201d and the Multimedia Commons located at the Creative Humanities Hub. The Lab is equipped with state-of-the-art Extended Reality (XR) facilities, combining Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance immersive experiences and present realistic visual effects for creators. The Lab costs over HK$10 million and is open to all staff and students to further strengthen the University community\u2019s literacy in digital communications.<\/p>
