Sports not only strengthen our bodies, but also enhance our mental wellness and improve our study and work efficiency. Embracing its ‘Liberal + Professional’ education model in passing on professional knowledge to nurture talents in different fields, HSUHK considers sports as part of its holistic whole-person education. Through actively building a campus with ‘Liberal Physical Education’, HSUHK hopes to realise its liberal education vision by helping students develop their physical and mental wellness and character through PE activities. HSUHK aims to achieve three goals through physical education. Firstly, to develop students’ individual physical competence and foster all-round development, thereby helping them establish an active and healthy lifestyle; secondly, to train up students’ skills in interpersonal interaction, cooperation and problem solving through quality PE experiences; and thirdly, to nurture students’ positive values and attitudes by providing them with a good foundation for lifelong and life-wide learning. Vice-President (Organisational Development) Dr Tom Fong believes that experiential learning through sports activities, being both competitive and cooperative in nature, can cultivate students’ critical thinking, caring attitudes, moral values, and social responsibility. “Physical education is both an end and a means to other objectives, and we can only benefit from it through practice. HSUHK is determined to develop PE as one of the means to promote liberal education.” 「香港恒生大學一直大力推廣體育與運動。」何順文校長解釋說：「體育是教育課程的一部分，旨在培養和關顧個人的身體與其他方面的健康，而運動則是涉及體力和技術的競賽活動，而且通常在課堂以外舉行，但公眾人士有時會將兩者交替使用。」運動既可強身健體，亦可促進精神健康，提升學習和工作效率。恒大貫徹「博雅＋專業」教學模式，視體育運動為整體全人教育的一部分，積極建立「博雅體育」校園，透過體育活動實踐博雅教育方針，助學生培養良好身心和品格。 恒大致力透過體育達致三方面目標：第一，透過鍛鍊學生個人體質和促進全面健康發展，助其建立積極健康的生活方式；第二，提供優質體育體驗，訓練學生的社交、合作和解決問題能力；第三，幫助學生為終身及全方位學習奠下良好基礎，並培養積極的價值觀和態度。副校長（機構發展）方永豪博士認為，體育運動富競爭色彩，同時着重互助精神，這方面的學習體驗，能培養學生的明辨思維、人文關懷、道德價值和社會責任等良好特質。「體育本身既是目標，也是達致其他目標的途徑，必須透過實踐，才能收獲多方面的益處。恒大積極發展體育，作為推廣博雅教育的其中一個途徑。」 HSUHK encourages students and teachers to participate in sports activities, from which Vice-President (Organisational Development) Dr Tom Fong has collected many medals over the years. 恒大鼓勵師生參與體育活動，副校長（機構發展）方永豪博士歷年來取得多面獎牌。 Diversified Sports Facilities and Activities 多元化體育運動設施和活動 In order to create a campus with ‘Liberal Physical Education’, HSUHK actively invests resources in diversified sports facilities of high quality, in order to create an ideal sports environment and atmosphere for students and staff members. Lee Shau Kee Complex, completed in 2013, is equipped with a thermostatic Indoor Swimming Pool, a Sports Hall, a Fitness Centre, a Multi-purpose Room, a Dance Studio and so on. Students and colleagues can use the sports facilities for free during designated sessions from Monday to Friday, and the latter also enjoy priority in using the Sports Hall on Friday evenings. The sports facilities are temporarily closed due to the latest pandemic situation, and many colleagues and students are surely looking forward to their re-opening. In addition to the facilities, quality physical education and activities are also essential. Since 2018, HSUHK has launched a credit-bearing PE module and held talks with different themes to enhance students’ professional PE knowledge. For example, in Semester 2 of AY 2021/22, HSUHK has provided eight types of online PE classes and five types of face-to-face ones, covering Yogalates, Yoga, Weight Management and Fitness, and Muay Thai, serving over 1,000 students. Moreover, the credit-bearing ‘Event Management in Sports’ elective module is offered to enable students to understand PE in more depth. Participation in PE is also one of the students’ graduation requirements under the iGPS framework. By enrolling in PE classes and attaining a certain attendance level, students can earn iGPS Units while learning about the importance of whole-person development. To further promote a sports culture, the Student Affairs Office (SAO) has organised activities including the HSUHK Sports Invitation Game and the President’s Cup, while seeking to motivate colleagues and students to join activities and contests through different means. For instance, internal competition elements have been added to the annual Hong Kong Marathon, with extra prizes presented to participating colleagues and students according to their achievements in this major event. Moreover, the SAO encourages other units of the university to host their own PE and related activities under its guidance, so as to create a better sports ambiance on campus together with other HSUHK members in a ‘decentralised’ manner. In addition, all teachers and students can participate in a range of PE workshops throughout the academic year to explore different fields, including mountain craft, Tai Chi, physiotherapy, etc. This helps them stay healthy both physically and mentally at all times, so as to cope with various challenges in life. Under the pandemic, many activities have been held online to keep HSUHK members company in such times of difficulty. 恒大為實踐「博雅體育」校園，積極投放資源建設多元化的優質體育設施，為師生職員創造理想運動環境和氣氛。其中2013年建成的李兆基綜合大樓，設有全天候室內恒溫游泳池、室內運動場、健身室、多用途活動室及舞蹈室等。恒大師生星期一至五指定時段可免費使用運動設施，教職員逢星期五晚更可優先使用室內運動場。由於疫情關係，運動設施暫停開放，相信不少師生都期待設施早日重開。 硬件配套設施外，優質體育教育和活動亦不可或缺。大學在2018年起推出含學分的正規體育科目，並舉辦不同主題講座，以增加學生的體育專業知識。以2021/22下學期為例，校方共提供八種網上體育課和五種面授體育課，內容包括瑜伽普拉提、瑜伽、體重管理及健身、泰拳等，服務超過一千名學生。此外，校方亦提供帶學分的「運動項目管理」選修科目，讓學生更深入了解體育的內涵。 體育方面的參與，亦是恒大學生在「iGPS期望的畢業生特質」框架下的畢業要求之一。學生報讀體育課程並達到指定出席率，可獲iGPS學分，更能從中學習全人發展的重要。 為進一步推廣運動文化，學生事務處舉辦恒大邀請賽、校長杯等活動，並透過創新手法推動師生參與體育活動和競賽，例如就年度香港馬拉松盛事增設校內競爭元素，按參與師生的比賽成績頒發額外獎項。此外，學生事務處亦鼓勵不同校內團體及單位自行舉辦各項體育及相關活動，並從旁指導，以「下放」的模式，與大學成員共同營造更佳校園體育氣氛。 除此以外，整個學年期間，師生均可根據個人興趣參加一系列體育工作坊，探索山藝、太極、物理治療等範疇，時刻保持身心健康，以應付生活上的各種挑戰。疫情期間，不少活動以網上形式舉行，陪伴恒大成員度過難熬的日子。 Lee Shau Kee Complex 李兆基綜合大樓 Indoor Swimming Pool 室內游泳池 25-metre thermostatic pool with six lanes, with water temperature maintained at around 28℃ in winter. 25米恒溫泳池設有6條線道，冬天水溫維持在大約28℃。 Multi-purpose Room 多用途活動室 Approximately 70 square metres in area, which can accommodate 30 people. It can also be used as a table tennis room. 面積約70平方米，可容納30人，亦可用作乒乓球室。 Sports Hall 運動場 Approximately 650 square metres in area, with a bamboo floating sports floor system. The hall can be used as one basketball court, one volleyball court, or four badminton courts. 面積約650平方米，配以竹製運動地板。運動場可作一個籃球場、一個排球場或四個羽毛球場使用。 Fitness Centre 健身室 Approximately 230 square metres in area. A range of aerobic and weight training machines are available for qualified users. 面積約230平方米，為合資格使用者提供一系列有氧及重量訓練器械。 Sports Teams in HSUHK 恒大體育校隊 At present, HSUHK has 14 sports teams in 12 fields with over 200 members. In addition to regular weekly training, HSUHK Sports Teams often participate in contests for tertiary institutions. In July 2021, HSUHK, as an active participant and convenor of sports events, was granted full membership by The University Sports Federation of Hong Kong (USFHK), and can join a wider variety of competitions in the future. Besides, HSUHK Sports Teams regularly compete with institutions in the Mainland and Macao in friendly matches, through which they exchange with and learn from each other while broadening their horizons. 恒大目前設有14個校隊，涉獵12個運動項目，成員超過200人。除每星期接受恒常訓練外，各體育校隊更經常參與大專賽事。恒大積極召集和參與賽事，遂於2021年7月獲香港大專體育協會授予正式會員資格，日後可參加更多元化的大專體育協會比賽。另外，恒大體育校隊亦定期與內地及澳門院校進行友誼賽，並到各地院校交流切磋，增廣見聞。 Joining the basketball team has enlarged my social circle, in which I have met many good team members who are very united and supportive, and who work hard to strive for excellent results. Representing HSUHK to participate in Inter-collegiate competitions has greatly strengthened my sense of belonging. 加入籃球校隊擴闊了我的生活圈子，讓我認識到很好的隊員，彼此團結，互相扶持，全力爭取好成績。代表恒大參與大專盃等賽事，亦大大增加我的歸屬感。 Mr Kin-ming Wong 黃健銘同學 Year 4 BBA (Hons) in Supply Chain Management Student 供應鏈管理工商管理（榮譽）學士四年級學生 Joining the volleyball team has given me the opportunity to meet like-minded partners. I am thankful to our coach for his tremendous support and trust, and for giving us more chances to display our abilities. 成為排球校隊的一員，令我有機會認識志同道合的伙伴。感謝教練對我們無比的支持和信任，令我們有更多機會表現自己。 Ms Hiu-wing Lau 劉曉穎同學 Year 3 BBA (Hons) in Finance and Banking Student 金融及銀行學工商管理（榮譽）學士三年級學生 Opening Up Alternative Paths for Elite Athletes 為精英運動員開拓其他出路 Former Hong Kong Cycling Team member Mr Marco Kwok and former Hong Kong Track and Field Team athlete Mr Boyce Lai are both HSUHK alumni. They were admitted to the Master of Science in Entrepreneurial Management Programme under the Hong Kong Athletes Career and Education Programme, with a view to switching to other fields upon retiring from their athletic careers. Looking ahead, HSHUK will endeavour to render help to more athletes in pursuing academic development. In May 2019, HSUHK signed a Memorandum of Understanding on the Elite Athletes Study Programme with the Hong Kong Sports Institute (HKSI). The HSUHK will provide full-time athletes of the HKSI admitted to undergraduate studies with flexible study arrangements, so as to enable them to cope with both their studies and their full-time elite professional training, and at the same time foster their whole-person development and provide them with diversified prospects. 香港單車代表隊前選手郭灝霆先生和香港田徑代表隊前成員黎振浩先生，均為恒大校友，透過香港運動員就業及教育計劃入學，修讀創業管理理學碩士課程，藉以退役轉型。 未來，恒大將致力協助更多運動員追求在學業方面的發展。大學於2019年5月與香港體育學院簽訂「精英運動員學習計劃」合作備忘錄，將為透過本計劃入讀恒大本科課程的香港體育學院運動員提供靈活的修讀安排，讓他們得以兼顧學業 及全職精英體育培訓，同時推動他們的全人發展，以及為其提供多元化出路。 HSUHK is located in the Shatin District, and is close to the Hong Kong Sports Institute. This gives HSUHK a geographical advantage in sports development. In addition, some elite athletes have studied in HSUHK, and this could help HSUHK engage primary and secondary schools and other sectors of society to promote a sports culture. 恒大位處沙田區，鄰近體育學院，在地理位置上具有優勢，有利體育方面的發展。加上恒大曾有精英運動員就讀，有助連結中小學和社會各界，推廣體育文化。 Mr Marco Kwok 郭灝霆先生 There is an increasing global trend for sports development. HSUHK’s active promotion of sports culture is a good start. In the future, it could consider establishing a PE school or department to nurture elite athletes or sports talents. 全球體育發展風氣越來越盛行，恒大積極推動體育文化是一個好開始，未來或可考慮設立體育學院或學系，積極培育精英運動員或體育人才。 Mr Boyce Lai 黎振浩先生 Attracting Athletes via the Principal Recommended Admission Scheme 校長推薦入學計劃吸引運動員 The Principal Recommended Admission Scheme aims at giving due recognition to students who have made distinguished achievements in academic and/or non-academic areas such as sports, music, art, community service, leadership, etc. Starting from last year, HSUHK has been issuing firm offers to candidates, without waiting for and regardless of their HKDSE examination results. Ms Ka-wai Tung, a Year 1 BBA (Hons) in Professional Accountancy student, was admitted to HSUHK for her excellent achievements in sports. Ms Tung holds five records in archery compound bow among Hong Kong young women, and has won numerous awards. She remarked that her admission under this Scheme “showed that HSUHK encourages student-athletes to strike a balance between their studies and frequent training and competitions, and to realise their dreams of pursuing knowledge alongside their athlete careers.” 校長推薦入學計劃旨在肯定學生於學術和/或非學術範疇（如體育、音樂、藝術、社區服務和領導才能等）的卓越表現、對社區服務的貢獻，或其領袖才能。自去年起，恒大更設有直接取錄機制，學生可提早獲正式錄取，而不受其香港中學文憑試成績影響。就讀專業會計學工商管理（榮譽）學士課程一年級的童嘉慧，正是憑着她的體育成就，循此途徑入讀恒大。 童嘉慧同學為香港青少年女子射箭複合弓五項紀錄保持者，獲獎無數。她認為自己在此計劃下獲錄取，「反映恒大鼓勵學生運動員兼顧學業與頻繁的訓練和比賽，實踐追尋學識和運動員生涯的夢想。」 ‘Live Chat with Youth‘ Forum Series: Sports and Beyond 「陪我講．陪你闖」講座系列 – 體育不只是運動 HSUHK held the ‘Live Chat with Youth’ Forum Series: Sports and Beyond event on 17 February 2022. Ms Hoi-kem Doo, member of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Team and bronze medalist in the Tokyo Olympics; Mr Marco Kwok, former member of the Hong Kong Cycling Team and Alumnus of HSUHK; Mr Tony Yue, Chairman of the Hong Kong Table Tennis Association; and Mr Tak-keung Yeung, Commissioner for Sports of the Home Affairs Bureau, were invited as guest speakers to exchange views and to explore the possibilities for future sports development. The event attracted around 2,000 participants online. In his opening speech, Council Chairman of HSUHK Dr Moses Cheng expressed his hope that the speakers’ sharing would awaken the seeds of dreams in young people, and inspire them to think about how to equip themselves for pursuing their dreams bravely in the fields they love. 恒大於2022年2月17日舉辦「陪我講．陪你闖 Live Chat with Youth」講座系列 –「體育不只是運動」，邀請了香港乒乓球代表成員及東京奧運會銅牌得主杜凱、香港單車代表隊前成員及恒大校友郭灝霆、香港乒乓總會主席余國樑，以及民政事務局體育專員楊德強擔任嘉賓講者，探討香港體育發展前景，吸引接近2,000人網上參與。恒大校務委員會主席鄭慕智博士致開幕辭時表示，希望講者的經驗分享能喚醒青年人的夢想「種子」，啟發青年人思考如何裝備自己，勇敢追夢，在自己熱愛的領域盡展所長。 HSUHK President‘s Cup 恒大校長杯 The HSUHK President’s Cup 2019 provided the opportunity for all staff members to showcase their skills in basketball, badminton and table tennis. HSUHK basketball team members and the coach of the HSUHK table tennis team were also invited to teach participants various techniques. Participants formed six teams to represent their Schools and units to compete for glory. 2019年香港恒生大學校長杯為全校教職員提供一個展示籃球、羽毛球和乒乓球技藝的機會，更邀得恒大籃球隊成員及乒乓球隊教練向參加者教授各種技術。參加者組成六支隊伍，為所屬學院及部門力爭殊榮。 The Long Way Ahead to ‘Liberal + Professional‘ Physical Education 漫漫而修遠之博雅專業體育路 HSUHK is fully aware of the power of sports in fostering cohesion in the community and in training people’s willpower. As such, it plans to launch more credit-bearing courses to cover topics including mountain craft experiential learning, and the theory and practice of team sports. The University has engaged a full-time lecturer for enhancing the quality of our PE programme. With this plan, apart from facilitating the popularisation of sports under ‘Liberal’ education, HSUHK could also gradually establish its own edge in the ‘Professional’ aspect. “Sports is in fact a massive industry, which needs talents in management, marketing, accounting, healthcare, technology, etc., apart from athletes. HSUHK’s business management programmes have always been well known. Offering courses that integrate sports with business management could be a direction for future PE development at HSUHK.” Further planning and matching facilities are necessary for realising this goal. Dr Fong hopes that HSUHK could nurture talents with expertise in both sports and business management, so as to contribute to the development of Hong Kong’s sports industry. 恒大深明體育運動凝聚人心與訓練意志的力量，因此計劃推出更多學分課程，涵蓋山藝學習與體驗、團隊運動理念與實踐等內容，更已聘請全職講師，務求提升本校體育課程的品質。如此一來，除了在「博雅」方面推動體育普及化外，大學亦能在「專業」層面上慢慢建立自己的優勢。「體育其實是個龐大的產業，除了運動員外，亦需要管理、營銷、會計、醫療、科技等方面的人才。恒大一直以商業管理課程見稱，開辦結合體育與商管的學科，也許可以是恒大體育未來發展的路向。」實現這個目標需要進一步規劃和配套設施，方博士期望恒大能培育兼通體育和商管的人才，為香港體育產業發展作出貢獻。 HSUHK People 恒大人 The Pursuit between Virtual and Actual Realities – Passing on Mission and Values 虛擬與現實之間的追尋 － 使命與價值承傳的堅持 Interview with Dr Eugene Wong 黃彥璋博士專訪 Associate Professor of the Department of Supply Chain and Information Management Director of Policy Research Institute of Global Supply Chain Director of Virtual Reality Centre 供應鏈及資訊管理學系副教授 全球供應鏈管理政策研究所主任 虛擬實境中心主任 “I wish to share my knowledge and experience, and to contribute to society.” With this ambition, Dr Eugene Wong, after having worked in the industry for over ten years in the Hong Kong Productivity Council, a semi-conductor firm and a global ship liner corporation, decided to enter the education sector in 2013 by joining Hang Seng Management College (HSMC, the predecessor of HSUHK). It was in the early years of HSMC, when the school’s degree programmes were still in the initial stage of development, and Dr Wong saw flexibility and ample room therein for him to contribute to the school’s endeavour to become a university. Compared with working in the industry, Dr Wong considered that teaching in a university involves something more, namely a sense of mission and responsibility. He wished to employ his industry experience and academic research knowledge to nurture the next generation. Some days ago, he travelled to London to study at the Harvard Business school’s Executive Education Programme, with a view to applying his learning in teaching. “From the programme, I had the chance to exchange views with professionals from all around the world and to broaden my horizons. I benefitted a lot from the programme.” To Dr Wong, the setting up of the Virtual Reality (VR) Centre was definitely the greatest challenge he has encountered in HSUHK. Knowing that even those working in the industry rarely had the chance to see things like the parts of a cargo ship with their own eyes or undergo training on a freighter, Dr Wong, with an engineering background, hoped to help students open their eyes with VR technology. Establishing the VR Centre, however, was by no means easy. “When I came up with this plan, VR was not yet well known to the institution, and people might consider it not exactly relevant to teaching and research. As such, we had to solicit the support of stakeholders at different levels while applying for funding, followed by identifying a site, renovating the venue, and acquiring equipment, and communicating and working with various departments along the way. It was indeed a great challenge.” 「我希望分享知識與經驗，貢獻社會。」懷着這個抱負，曾於業界工作十多年，並先後任職香港生產力促進局、半導體工程公司及環球航運企業的黃彥璋博士，於2013年決定投身教育界，加入恒生管理學院（恒管，香港恒生大學前身）。時值恒管成立之初，校內學位課程發展尚在起步階段，而黃博士則從中看到可塑性與龐大空間，正好讓他為學校在銳意發展成一所大學的路上出一分力。 比起在業界工作，黃博士形容任教大學多了一份責任與使命。他希望運用自己在行業工作的經驗與學術研究的知識培育下一代。他之前亦遠赴倫敦修讀哈佛商學院的行政人員教育課程，並期望也可把所學應用在教學中。「在這個課程裏，我有機會與世界各地的專業人士交流，擴闊視野，獲益良多。」 對黃博士而言，在恒大最艱鉅的挑戰，無疑是虛擬實境中心的創建工程。黃博士有感即使在業界工作，也鮮有機會親眼見識貨船機件等事物，或在職船上接受訓練，因此擁有工程學背景的他，希望透過虛擬實境（VR）技術，讓學生增廣見聞。然而，設立虛擬實境中心並非易事。「構思這個計劃的時候，VR在學校中仍未廣為人知，人們或許覺得這與教研無關。因此，我們既要爭取各層面的持分者支持，也要申請資助，繼而選址、裝修、購置設備，過程中須與不同部門溝通協調，面對的挑戰確實很大。」 Dr Wong hopes to help students open their eyes with VR technology. 黃博士希望透過虛擬實境技術，讓學生增廣見聞。 Today, the VR Centre is already well developed. Its immersive Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE)-based VR system offers students a range of interesting experiences by making them feel like they are actually there. “This facility can be applied across disciplines. Say, students of the Supply Chain Programme can have a glimpse of the interior of a cargo aircraft’s main deck, finance professionals can experience the exciting ups and downs on the ‘Hang Seng Index roller-coaster’, history lovers can wander the Haw Par Mansion, young people who are into art and literature can step into Van Gogh’s paintings, and journalism students can learn to cover news at the site of the Wenchuan Earthquake. With VR technology, we can recreate lost cultural heritage and trace historical incidents, thus enabling students to better understand their respective disciplines.” In addition, the Centre’s multi-CAVE system makes it possible for participants at different locations to immerse themselves in the same scene at the same time, thus enhancing learning experience and effectiveness. Recently, the Centre has organised courses on VR scene building, receiving warm responses. “Riding on the Metaverse trend, we hope to further popularise VR technology.” The most unforgettable moments, however, have been related to the students after all. Over the years, Dr Wong has led students to participate in various external competitions, from which they earned awards and recognition with his help. In recent years, HSUHK graduates have been enjoying good employment prospects, which has also helped students build up their confidence. Dr Wong is close to his students, many of whom have remained in touch after graduation, and even visit him at Lunar New Year. “The scenes of these gatherings are what leave the deepest impressions on me.” These years, he has been saddened to have seen that some students, despite being willing to make an effort in learning, could not concentrate on their studies because they lacked financial support from their families. Therefore, he appeals to graduates who can afford it to consider setting up scholarships together to help HSUHK students in need. Dr Wong emphasises more on students’ values than on their technical skills and knowledge. “If you have money, will you spend it on materialistic pleasures for showing off on social media, or donate it to society for making a little difference without asking for return?” He hopes that students would ponder such questions outside the classroom. 時至今日，虛擬實境中心已發展成熟，其沉浸式虛擬實境模擬系統，讓學生彷彿親臨其境，獲得各色各樣的有趣體驗。「這項設備可應用於不同學科範疇，例如供應鏈課程的學生可窺探貨機主艙內部、金融專才可在『恒生指數過山車』上感受緊張刺激的高低起伏、歷史愛好者可在虎豹別墅中漫步、文藝青年可踏進梵高的畫作、新聞系學生可到汶川地震現場學習採訪等。我們可以利用VR技術，重現失落的文化遺產、追溯過去的歷史事件，讓學生更深入認識各自的專業範疇。」此外，中心更設有複合性虛擬實境系統，能讓多名身處不同位置的參與者同時沉浸同一場景，從而改善學習體驗及效率。近年，中心亦開辦VR場景製作課程，反應非常熱烈。「配合元宇宙潮流，我們希望令VR技術更為普及。」 然而，說到最難忘的時刻，還是與學生有關。這些年來，黃博士多次帶領學生參加校外比賽，協助他們取得獎項與認同；而近年恒大畢業生就業前景良好，亦有助學生建立自信。黃博士和學生關係密切，不少學生在畢業後依然和他保持聯絡，農曆新年更會到他家裏拜年。「這些聚會，是我印象最深刻的畫面。」他感歎這幾年眼見有學生願意付出心力認真求學，卻由於缺乏家庭財政支援而無法專注學業，因此呼籲有能力的畢業生考慮合力設立獎學金，幫助有需要的學弟學妹。比起技術和知識，他更看重學生的價值觀：「如果有錢，是花在物質享受上、分享到社交平台炫耀，還是略盡綿力捐獻社會，不計回報？」他期望學生在課堂以外，能好好思考這些問題。 Dr Wong has a close relationship with students and keeps in touch with them regularly. 黃博士和學生關係密切，定期保持聯絡。 Dr Wong and students take an AR graduation photo with the HSUHK Mascot. 黃博士聯同學生與恒大吉祥物拍攝擴增實境畢業照。 Apart from teaching and research, Dr Wong also actively engages in public service, such as participating in the work of the Hong Kong Maritime and Port Board to render help to the trade and contribute to Hong Kong; and serving on the Assessment Panel for Competitive Research Funding Schemes for the Local Self-financing Degree Sector in assessing and approving research proposals, through which he supports development in academic research while helping researchers realise their goals. Of course, Dr Wong also has a relaxed and fun side. He enjoys swimming and playing badminton, and has joined various contests; and like many Hong Kong people, he loves travelling and photography. He once travelled as far as the South Pole on a cruise, stopping at attractions including Easter Island and the Iguazu Falls on the way, and he still yearns for these moments today. When working in the industry, he went on a business trip to the Port of Long Beach in the US and climbed on top of a quay crane while working, feasting on the amazing scenery of the bay. Moreover, as a father, Dr Wong spends much of his free time taking care of his children and keeping them company as they grow up. “Seeing their happy faces is the source of my joy,” he said. Looking ahead, apart from seeking to further promote VR applications, Dr Wong endeavours to take the teaching and research of HSUHK’s Department of Supply Chain and Information Management to the international level, and to nurture more talents for both academia and industry. Besides, having long been studying carbon emission mitigation in supply chains and published in impactful journals in this regard, he plans to put more effort into driving the development of renewable energy and decarbonisation, so as to generate benefits at a global level. He would like to thank his colleagues in the University for working with him in achieving every goal over the years. “I wish to do all I can to bring about positive changes in our world.” 教研以外，黃博士亦熱心擔任公職，例如參與香港海運港口局的工作，以支援業界，貢獻香港；以及服務本地自資學位界別競逐研究資助計劃評審委員會，審批研究計劃，在支持學術發展之餘，更協助研究人員實現目標。 當然，黃博士也有輕鬆好動的一面。他喜歡游泳和打羽毛球，曾參與不同賽事；而和很多香港人一樣，他熱愛攝影和旅遊，曾乘坐郵輪遠訪南極，途經復活島、伊瓜蘇瀑布等名勝，那些經歷，令他至今仍十分嚮往。在業界工作時，他亦曾出差到美國長灘貨櫃碼頭，並攀上碼頭吊機頂端，工作之餘也飽覽港灣美景。此外，身為父親的他，閒時經常照顧孩子，陪伴他們成長。「看見他們笑得開懷，是我的快樂泉源。」 展望將來，除了尋求進一步推廣VR應用外，黃博士期望能將恒大供應鏈及資訊管理學系的教研提升至國際水平，並為學術界及業界培育更多人才。此外，一直研究供應鏈減碳，並曾就此發表具影響力論文的他，亦計劃投放更多努力推動可再生能源的發展，以減少碳排放，惠及全球。他感謝大學同事們這些年來一直與他同行，實現每個目標。「我希望盡我所能，為我們的世界帶來正面的改變。」 Dr Wong, who loves photography and travelling, takes pictures at Easter Island. 黃博士熱愛攝影和旅遊，到復活島不忘拍照留念。 Apart from teaching and research, Dr Wong also actively engages in public service. 除了教學和研究，黃博士亦熱心擔任公職。 Dr Wong participates in HSUHK sports events. 黃博士參與恒大體育活動。 Dr Wong visits the Port of Long Beach in the US and climbs on top of a quay crane. 黃博士到訪美國長灘貨櫃碼頭，攀上碼頭吊機頂端。 Sharing by Alumni 校友分享 Exploring the World – From Global Logistics to E-Commerce 放眼世界　從國際物流投身電子商貿 Interview with Mr Eric Li 李瀚鋒先生專訪 BBA (Hons) in Supply Chain Management (2015) Senior Solutions Manager, Shenzhen 4PX Express Co., Ltd 供應鏈管理工商管理（榮譽）學士（2015） 深圳市四方速遞有限公司解決方案高級經理 Young people with limited life experience tend to choose business programmes that offer broader career paths when considering what to study in university. Mr Eric Li was no exception. Yet, while participating in the Information Day of the Hang Seng Management College (HSMC, the predecessor of HSUHK), Eric unexpectedly learnt about the importance of supply chain management to corporations and the industry’s great development prospects, and decided on the spot to sign up for the BBA (Hons) in Supply Chain Management Programme instead. HSMC, newly set up at that time, was still in the transition phase from a senior secondary school to a tertiary institution in terms of both academic programme design and campus facilities. By comparison, Eric thinks that the HSUHK students nowadays enjoy a much better study environment than he did back then. Nevertheless, he is grateful to have met excellent teachers who enriched his school life. “The professors were very friendly and enthusiastic in teaching. In addition to academic knowledge, they often shared practical experience with us, so that we could prepare ourselves for employment early on.” This period of time gave rise to a close teacher-student relationship, from which Eric still benefits today. Moreover, the courses provided a lot of professional knowledge and soft skills, giving him a solid foundation that enabled him to quickly master his work in the future. To broaden his horizons, Eric went to the Shanghai University of International Business and Economics as an exchange student when he was in Year 3. He said that the experience of travelling between the campuses for local and international students not only helped him improve his English, but also allowed him to better understand different cultures. “The learning atmosphere there was very good, and the exchanges with students from all over the world truly opened my mind.” He also joined the mentorship programmes of HSMC and his Department, and was most deeply influenced by one of the mentors, who was a retired human resources director. “He shared with us the recruitment criteria of many companies, so that I knew how to equip myself for the workplace.” After graduation, Eric worked as a management trainee in a large international logistics company in the areas of project management, global standard operation procedures, and commercial customer services. Having stayed in Shanghai for three years to assist the company in managing China-Europe and China-Oceania trade lane development, he wanted to try his hand at e-commerce. He therefore joined a global cross-border e-commerce supply chain integrated service provider, and is currently working as a Senior Solutions Manager responsible for overseas warehouse solutions, thereby witnessing the latest developments of e-commerce. Eric encourages fellow HSUHK students, saying, “Treasure and make good use of the University’s resources, and dare to explore your own strengths. As long as you are well-prepared, there is no harm in chilling and having some fun.” 年輕人的人生經驗尚淺，面對大學選科會傾向選擇出路較廣的商科，李瀚鋒先生亦不例外。然而，他在參加恒生管理學院（恒管，香港恒生大學前身）的資訊日時，因緣際會下了解到供應鏈管理對企業的重要，認為行業發展前景優良，故立即決定轉而報讀供應鏈管理工商管理（榮譽）學士課程。 當時恒管成立不久，不論課程設計還是校園配套，都仍處於從高中過渡到大專院校的階段。相比之下，李瀚鋒覺得現在的學生比他幸福得多，但他感恩遇上優秀的老師，圓滿了他的校園生活。「教授非常友善並用心教學，除了書本上的知識，他們更經常和我們分享實戰經驗，讓我們及早作好就業準備。」這段日子成就了緊密的師生關係，李瀚鋒至今仍深感獲益良多。課程亦提供不少專業知識和軟技巧，為他打好基礎，日後更快掌握工作內容。 為擴闊視野，李瀚鋒在大學三年級時前往上海對外經貿大學交流。他表示穿梭於本地生與國際生校園之間上課的經歷，不但提升了他的英語水平，亦讓他更深入了解不同文化：「當地的學習氣氛很好，透過與世界各地學生的交流，我的思想也變得更為開闊。」他亦參加了大學及學系的師友計劃，當中身為退休人力資源總監的導師對他影響至深：「他和我們分享了不少公司的招聘準則，令我知道應該如何裝備自己投身職場。」 畢業後，李瀚鋒成為大型國際物流公司的管理見習生，曾負責項目管理、全球標準作業程序及商業客戶服務等工作。駐守上海三年協助公司管理中國與歐洲及澳洲的航線後，他希望嘗試電子商貿工作，於是轉投全球跨境電商供應鏈綜合服務供應商，目前擔任解決方案高級經理，負責海外倉解決方案，從中親身感受電子商貿的最新發展。 李瀚鋒勉勵恒大師弟師妹：「珍惜及善用學校資源，勇於發掘自己的長處。只要作好準備，不妨盡情享受輕鬆玩樂的時光。」 Eric Li (left) spends six years working in a large international logistics company after graduation. 李瀚鋒（左）畢業後在一家大型國際物流公司工作了六年。 Eric (right) believes the mentorship programme has helped him equip himself for work. 李瀚鋒（右）認為師友計劃有助他裝備自己投身工作。 University Information 大學訊息 HSUHK GBAIH and the Hong Kong Blockchain Industry Association Jointly Organised ‘Blockchain Promotional and Empowerment Seminar‘ 恒大大灣區融創中心與香港區塊鏈產業協會合辦「區塊鏈推廣及賦能研討會」 To promote the development of blockchain technologies in the Greater Bay Area (GBA), HSUHK Greater Bay Area Innogration Hub (GBAIH) and the Hong Kong Blockchain Industry Association (HKBIA) jointly held the ‘Blockchain Promotional and Empowerment Seminar – Blockchain 3.0’ at Fung Yiu King Hall on 15 January 2022.

With the imminent completion of the three-runway project at the Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong’s capacity and demand for passenger and cargo air transport are expected to grow accordingly. However, while pursuing speed, ensuring the safety of passengers is also crucial for the industry. Airlines must ensure that the aircraft providing services are maintained in good condition at all times. Nevertheless, aircraft maintenance involves complicated processes, and even a slight deviation might result in flight delays. It was reported that in 2015, disruption costs incurred by flight delays amounted to about US$25 billion worldwide, and that the average delay was about 47 minutes. In fact, about 25% of flight delays were caused not by factors like severe weather conditions, but by aircraft maintenance related issues, which not only disrupted traveller’s itineraries and air cargo transport, but also greatly increased airlines’ operating costs. In conventional airline practice, aircraft maintenance is normally divided into A/B/C/D Checks, with A-Checks usually being simple examinations that can be completed with the least time, while D-Checks involve removal and reconstruction of internal components as well as detailed structural inspection, thus requiring the longest time given the highest complexity. To airlines, having aircraft parked at hangars for days or even weeks at a time for regular maintenance is a big waste of resources. As such, nowadays, many airlines, including our local Cathay Pacific Airways and Hong Kong Airlines, are implementing a new maintenance strategy that breaks down the checks into many small packages to be conducted between flights, with a view to maximising aircraft utilisation. This practice, however, increases the complexity and difficulty of aircraft routing, and any human error in the maintenance process would probably result in flight delays. To address this problem, Assistant Professor of the Department of Supply Chain and Information Management Dr Helen Ma, in collaboration with scholars from The University of Nottingham and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, commenced a research project entitled ‘The Impacts of Heterogeneous Maintenance Actions on Aircraft Routing Problems in regard to Airline Operations Reliability and Profitability’ in 2019. Under the project, a new column generation based algorithm has been designed to assist airlines in aircraft routing, so that the airlines could maximise the benefits in terms of time and resources utilisation while adopting the heterogeneous maintenance approach. “We hope to enhance the reliability of flight operations and to reduce the risks of delays caused by maintenance actions.” 現代社會分秒必爭，航空業當然也不例外。隨着香港國際機場的第三跑道快將落成，本港的客運與貨運能力和需求亦會相繼提升，而業界在追求速度之餘，保障乘客的安全亦至關重要。在任何情況下，航空公司應確保飛機能在良好狀態下提供服務。不過，飛機維修過程繁複，稍有偏差，即有可能導致航班延誤。有報道指出，2015年全球航班延誤招致的中斷成本達250億美元，平均延誤時間約為47分鐘，而大約25%的航班延誤，成因其實並非極端天氣等因素，而是與飛機維修問題有關。這不但影響旅客的行程和航空貨物運輸，亦大大增加了航空公司的營運成本。 根據航空業的傳統做法，飛機維修一般會分為「A、B、 C、 D」四部分，A部分通常是簡單檢查，能在最短時間內完成；而D部分則牽涉內部零件拆建和詳細結構檢查，因此最為複雜，亦需時最長。對航空公司的營運而言，定期將飛機停放在飛機維修站數日以至數星期，很是浪費資源。因此如今許多航空公司，例如本地的國泰航空、香港航空等，均採用新的維修策略，將部分機件檢查分拆成多個細小部分，在航班與航班之間進行，以期盡量提高飛機的使用率。不過，這種做法會使航線安排變得更為複雜與困難，而且如果維修過程中出現任何人為錯誤，則很可能會帶來航班延誤的後果。 有見及此，供應鏈及資訊管理學系助理教授馬凱琳博士在2019年聯同來自英國諾丁漢大學和香港理工大學的學者，合作開展名為「研究飛機維修項目多樣化對航空公司營運可靠性與盈利的影響」的研究項目，設計一項嶄新的列生成算法，協助航空公司排程，以期在採用新的多樣化維修模式時，能在時間與資源運用上取得最大效益：「我們希望提升航班運作的可靠程度，減低因維修活動而產生延誤的風險。」 Dr Helen Ma. 馬凱琳博士。 Aircraft Age as the Key Factor in Maintenance Time Requirement 機齡為維修所需時間關鍵 The motivation behind this research project originated from Dr Ma’s experience in working with maintenance service providers prior to joining HSUHK. “At that time, I noticed that the maintenance actions and time required varied with each plane, and became interested in learning about the rationale behind this.” Aiming at accomplishing accurate and smooth aircraft routing while minimising the risks of delays, Dr Ma’s team adopted a Recurrent Neural Network approach to estimate the maintenance time required for various maintenance actions through Time Series Machine Learning. At the beginning, the accuracy of the algorithm’s prediction was only about 70%; later on, Dr Ma discovered a key factor and, with this, greatly boosted the prediction accuracy. Dr Ma explained that the life span of each aircraft component depends on the plane’s flight hours, the number of take-offs it has made, and when the previous round of maintenance took place. Most of the existing literature assumes that the time required for each maintenance task is fixed, but in the research process, Dr Ma and her team found that it could differ even when the model, component and hours of use of the planes concerned are all identical. “After analysing a huge amount of data, we realised that the age of an aircraft is a critical factor. We therefore incorporated relevant information into the machine learning process, and eventually managed to raise the accuracy of the algorithm’s prediction to 90%.” To Dr Ma, the discovery of this fascinating phenomenon was also the most unforgettable episode in the research process. 這項研究計劃的靈感，源自馬博士在加入恒大以前，與維修服務承辦商合作的經驗。「那時候，我察覺到每架飛機的維修內容和所需時間都不一樣，並產生了深入了解其背後原理的興趣。」 為制訂準確而流暢的航線排程，並盡量減低延誤風險，馬博士的團隊透過採用時間序列神經網絡技術的機器學習，估算各項維修工作所需的時間。起初，這個演算法的估算，準確度只有約70%；後來，馬博士發現了一個關鍵因素，才大大提升了估算的準確度。 馬博士解釋道，飛機零件的壽命，取決於航機飛行時數、起飛次數，以及上次維修時間等因素。現存有關飛機維修的文獻，均假設同一個維修程序的需時一樣；然而，在研究過程中，馬博士的團隊卻發現，即使飛機型號、有關零件和使用時數完全一樣，同樣的維修工序需時卻不盡相同。「分析大量數據後，我們意識到原來機齡是一項關鍵。於是，我們把相關資料投進機器學習中，最終將估算準確度提高至90%。」發現這個有趣的現象，亦是馬博士在研究過程中印象最深刻的事情。 Pursuing Scheduling and Predictions of a Larger Scale 冀挑戰更大規模排程與估算 At present, Dr Ma’s algorithm designed for testing the impact of heterogeneous maintenance actions on an airline’s performance has been completed. It can handle the routing of about 600 to 800 flights. In the future, the research team will focus on enhancing the algorithm’s capacity and efficiency to make it ready to be applied to airlines’ actual operations. “Increasing the numbers of flights and destinations will exponentially increase the problem’s complexity. This is indeed a great challenge.” Dr Ma will continue to work closely with her team in the future to explore the techniques behind aircraft routing, in order to further improve the algorithm and enhance its prediction accuracy. In the long run, she hopes to invite airlines to test it out, so that the results of her research could be employed to help the aviation sector effectively plan aircraft routes, thereby achieving more profits and better development. “Perhaps we will uncover more intriguing secrets apart from the influence of aircraft age,” she said. 馬博士的演算法旨在分析多樣化飛機維修項目對航空公司表現的影響，目前已完成，能處理約600至800個航班的航線安排。未來，研究團隊會致力提升這項演算法的規模與效能，使其能應用於航空公司的實際營運中。「若增加航點和航班數量，準確演算的難度就會以幾何級數上升。這實在是很大的挑戰。」馬博士未來會繼續和團隊緊密合作，深入發掘航線規劃背後的巧妙之處，藉以進一步改良演算法，提升其估算準確度。長遠而言，她希望能邀請航空公司測試算法，讓研究成果發揮作用，協助航空業界有效規劃飛機航線，從而獲得更佳的營利和發展。「除了機齡的影響外，也許我們會發現更多有趣的秘密。」 Campus Express 校園快訊 WUCIE Entrepreneurship 101 Workshops WUCIE創業101工作坊 With an aim of nurturing the entrepreneurial mindset and developing the practical skills of HSUHK’s aspiring entrepreneurs, the Wu Jieh Yee Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WUCIE) organised from January to March 2022 six Entrepreneurship 101 Workshops, at which seasoned practitioners from their industries were invited to share their business insights for starting a business.

Dr Cecutti started the lecture with a brief introduction on the lifetime achievements of Dante Alighieri. He was considered the father of the Italian language, as he was credited with writing the poem Divine Comedy in the Italian vernacular, a revolutionary move at that time, when most poets used Latin as the medium of expression, which made most poetry accessible only to the affluent and educated class. Dante was also one of the first masters to use the vernacular in poetry and to influence others. Dr Cecutti further discussed Dante’s famous work the Divine Comedy by touching on different Western artistic and literary works, leading the audience on Dante’s allegorical journey of the soul through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven. 翻譯及外語學院在 2022 年 2 月 25 日舉辦「由藝術角度了解但丁神曲」公開講座，由Dr Daniela Cecutti擔任講者。Dr Cecutti先介紹但丁•阿利吉耶里的生平成就。一般認為但丁是意大利語之父，因為當時大多數詩人都用拉丁語寫作，使只有富裕和受過教育的階層才能接觸到作品，而但丁卻使用白話，即意大利語撰寫《神曲》，在當時是革新的表現。但丁亦是最早在詩歌中使用白話並影響他人的名家之一。Dr Cecutti透過簡介不同的西方藝術和文學作品，進一步談論但丁名著《神曲》，藉此帶領觀眾跟著但丁的靈魂穿越地獄、煉獄和天堂。 Dr Cecutti shows a portrait of Dante Alighieri.

Populism is found to be authoritarian, anti-pluralistic, welfarism-oriented, chauvinistic and economic related in the West. However, populism in the Asia-Pacific region has not been thoroughly investigated. 14 panel speakers from Asia, Germany and the United Kingdom offered their views on research in populism from a multi-disciplinary perspective. They drew a comprehensive picture of populism in Asia, and constructed a framework to compare the models of populism in different political systems in the Asia-Pacific with the conventional wisdom derived from the West. The conference was fully supported by a grant from the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong. 由大中華研究中心和社會科學系合辦的「亞洲民粹主義國際會議」，於2月25和26日在網上舉行，有近60人參加。在西方，民粹主義被視為威權主義、反多元主義、福利主義導向、沙文主義，以及與經濟相關。然而亞太地區的民粹主義卻尚未得到徹底研究。來自亞洲、德國和英國的 14 位與會者從跨學科角度就民粹主義研究發表看法，全面描繪亞洲的民粹主義框架，並將亞太地區不同政治制度的民粹主義模式，比對西方傳統智慧的產物。此次會議獲香港研究資助局全面資助。 (Bottom left) Dr Shi-re Wang, Assistant Professor of the Department of Social Science. （左下）社會科學系助理教授王世茹博士。 Awards Received by Students 學生榮獲獎項 EAF Students Won 1st Runner Up in the CFA Institute Research Challenge 經濟及金融學系學生榮獲CFA投資分析比賽亞軍 Five students from the Department of Economics and Finance, including Mr Chun-hei Chiu (BBA-BAF), Ms Bit-ying Yeung (BBA-BAF), Ms Yuk-hung Yeung (BBA-BAF), Mr Chun-hang Chan (BBA-FA), and Ms Ying-tong Wei (BBA-FB), won the first runner-up award in the CFA Institute Research Challenge 2021-22.

This year, the PMS has recruited more than 65 mentors from the fields of accounting, human resources, banking and finance, education, information technology, logistics, marketing, art administration, public administration, etc., to offer personalised guidance to 120 HSUHK mentees from January to August 2022. Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, the PMS 2022 successfully commenced on 22 January 2022 with an Online Kick-off and Welcome Session, which provided a platform for mentors and mentees to meet and exchange views online. Vice-President (Organisational Development) Dr Tom Fong gave an opening speech, in which he mentioned that the PMS had already entered its 13th year and paid tribute to the mentors, including nine who had been with the Scheme for 10 years or more. To officially kick off the PMS 2022, mentors and mentees gathered at the ‘virtual HSUHK campus’ specially designed by the SAO for the kick-off event, and turned on the ‘light bulb’ by typing ‘hashtag PMS 2022’ in the Zoom chatbox. This also signified that the joint efforts of mentors and mentees would illuminate everyone with enlightenment and inspiration. After the kick-off, Director of Student Affairs Ms Esther Lee hosted a sharing session, at which two seasoned mentors, Mr Fan Kwan and Ms Angela Mung, were invited to share their mentoring experiences and what they had gained from the PMS. Two mentee representatives also expressed their gratitude to the mentors for their support and encouragement during their experience sharing. As a conclusion, mentors and mentees e-met in virtual breakout rooms and got to know each other. All mentors and mentees enjoyed this virtual chit-chat session and looked forward to having more in-depth exchanges and fruitful mentorship experiences together in the future. 「恒大專業師友計劃」是由學生事務處舉辦的重點活動，旨在透過連繫恒大學生及來自各個行業的專業人士，讓學員擴闊專業網絡，為未來的事業發展做好準備。本年度計劃邀請了超過65位不同領域的專業人士成為恒大學生的導師，包括會計、人力資源、銀行和金融、教育、資訊科技、物流、市場營銷、藝術管理、公營機構行業等。他們將在2022年1月至8月期間為120名學員提供個別指導。 縱然社會備受疫情的考驗，但仍無阻計劃順利展開。啟動禮於2022年1月22日以網上形式舉行，並提供平台讓學員和導師在網上互相認識、暢談交流。副校長（機構發展）方永豪博士於歡迎辭中表示恒大師友計劃已踏入第13個年頭，並向包括9位參與計劃10年或以上的導師致以由衷的感謝。 學生事務處特別為是次啟動禮設計了「恒大虛擬校園」。學員與導師們積極地透過在實時聊天室中輸入「#PMS2022」，共同點亮了「虛擬校園」中的燈泡，象徵計劃正式啟動，並寓意學員與導師的共同努力，將為彼此帶來更多光芒和啟迪。 啟動儀式後，學生事務總監李德芬女士邀請兩位經驗豐富的導師關錦勳先生和蒙潔雯女士，分享在師友計劃中的經歷及得着。兩名學員代表亦在經驗分享中特別感謝導師在過去給予的支持和鼓勵。在啟動禮的最後環節，導師和學員獲安排在不同的虛擬討論室中作小組會面。導師和學員十分享受是次的網上會面，並期待往後能與所有師友計劃的參加者有更多深入的交流。 More than 150 mentors and mentees attend the Online Kick-off and Welcome Session of HSUHK Professional Mentorship Scheme 2022. 恒大專業師友計劃2022網上啟動禮獲超過150名導師及學員參與。 The Kick-off and Welcome Session connects all mentors and mentees on the‘virtual HSUHK campus’. 啟動禮透過「恒大虛擬校園」連繫各導師和學員。 Two mentors share their mentoring experiences at a session hosted by Ms Esther Lee, Director of Student Affairs. 兩位導師在學生事務總監李德芬女士主持的環節中，分享他們擔任計劃導師的經歷。 Orientation and Activities for Spring Semester Inbound Exchange Students 2021/22 春季交換生迎新會及活動 2021/22 In January 2022, HSUHK was delighted to receive a group of 29 Spring Semester exchange students from France, Germany, Mainland China, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.

This year, amidst the severe pandemic situation, it was impossible to set up a food collection booth on campus as previously done, but this in no way diminished the Team’s enthusiasm for promoting reduction of food waste and rendering help to grassroots families. Instead of a booth, the Team launched a social media campaign to encourage the University’s members to make their donations to Food Grace, a local NGO offering food recycling services, at their collection points at different locations in Hong Kong. During the activity period, 19 February 2022 to 19 March 2022, participants were invited to share photos of themselves donating food at the collection points on Instagram, so as to encourage their friends to support the campaign. Many students responded to the call for donation. Ms Layla Yu, HSUHK Volunteer Team Organising Committee (OC) Member, was grateful for the support from fellow schoolmates. “Owing to the volatile pandemic situation, we altered the activity arrangements serval times. I am thankful that members of the OC have demonstrated good teamwork and great flexibility. Besides, we would like to express our gratitude to the participants for contributing to the reduction of food waste and the sustainable development of the community.” 恒大義工隊（恒義）去年統籌的賀年食品回收活動有幸獲恒大師生踴躍支持，透過收集並轉贈節日食品和雜貨，幫助到不少有需要的市民。雖然今年受疫情所限，恒義未能如去年般於校園設置回收站，但仍無損恒義推廣惜食精神及幫助基層家庭的熱心。恒義改為透過社交媒體舉辦「新春賀年食品回收計劃2022」，鼓勵大學仝人將過剩的賀年食品或糧油雜貨，捐贈到回收機構「食德好」在各區設置的「膳心貫全城2022」賀年食品回收點。 活動邀請參加者於2022年2月19至3月19日期間，透過社交平台Instagram分享捐贈食品的一刻，身體力行鼓勵朋友支持回收計劃，獲得不少同學響應。恒義籌備委員會成員余柳婷同學感激參加者的支持：「本次活動安排由於疫情變化而多次調整，當中非常感謝恒義團隊成員之間互相合作，靈活變通；亦多謝同學積極參與，為惜食議題及建立可持續發展社區出一分力。」 Participants share photos of themselves donating food at the collection points on Instagram. 參加者於Instagram分享其捐贈食品的一刻。 ‘Animal Amigo‘ by the HSUHK Volunteer Team 恒大義工隊舉辦「Animal Amigo」動物義工活動 The HSUHK Volunteer Team organised ‘Animal Amigo’ activities on 25 December 2021 and 1 January 2022, with 36 students visiting the House of Joy and Mercy to provide voluntary services.
