HSUHK New Student Orientation 2021

17 September 2021

Stepping into the new academic year, HSUHK held the New Student Orientation 2021 online on 17 and 30 August 2021 for senior-year new students and Year-1 students respectively. This year, with the theme ‘Goal@HSUHK’, over 2,000 students and staff participated in this HSUHK’s flagship event. HSUHK hopes to introduce various transformative learning experiences provided by the University and encouraged them to actively engage in their campus life so as to explore and develop their potentials through the activity.

From the welcoming remarks by the senior management of the University in the Welcome Session, to meeting School Deans and Programme Directors in the School and Programme Sessions, as well as the live chat with the representatives of Students’ Union, our new students received practical information for a better understanding of HSUHK and got ready for the new semester. Over 250 senior-year students, serving as Campus Life Mentors, assisted new students in adapting to new campus life by sharing their own experiences and offering guidance.

In addition to the above event, over 50 thematic activities were continuously offered by different offices and units of HSUHK under 5 different themes, namely adaptation to U-life, enhancing your study, expanding social networks, staying healthy and understanding yourself, for the newbies. And Student Affairs Office also launched a series of handy video resources to give the new students quick references.
