On Saturday, August 17, 14 University of Hong Kong (HKU) students and over 40 alumni members gathered for a dinner hosted by The University of Hong Kong Alumni Association. The dinner took place at the Chatham Square Restaurant located in the Manhattan Chinatown.
The reception lasted almost two and a half hours and kicked off with a warm welcoming speech given by Dr. Raymond Li, President of the association, and a self-introduction given by each alumni member of the association. Dr. Li also went over the meaning of the university's Latin motto Sapientia et Virtus translated into English as "Wisdom and Virtue" with the students.
During the dinner, prominent HKU alumni members with diverse background shared their experience with students and gave them sound advice. The students also grasped the opportunity to interact and learn from them.
"The association is a group of successful professionals with a lot of life experiences who have come together purely out of goodwill. It was a precious opportunity to meet with them," said Jane (Man Kwan) Hui, a student of the University of Hong Kong and the group leader for her fellow schoolmates."
