From the Editor

Recognised as one of the world's top universities, CityU has established itself as a catalyst for change and a place where students, faculty, and alumni can embrace the spirit to innovate and create. In this 2020 edition of City AlumNet themed “CityU – where dreams are inspired”, we celebrate this achievement by showcasing how the CityU community turned aspirations into accomplishments for a greater good.

Our interviewees' various roads to success have not always been straightforward, with challenges including giving up a formerly successful career, dealing with dyslexia, and overcoming cancer. However, they never gave up, and soldiered on with grit, from enhancing the environment through sustainable farming, developing eco-friendly gadgets, to bringing positive energy to people through comedy, among others. On the institutional front, President Way Kuo has continued to guide the CityU community to aim high and be courageous in setting and striving for its goals. Among other accomplishments, our faculty members power ahead with 6G technology at a time when 5G has just been newly launched.

It is also by embracing such spirit of innovation and grit, the CityU community has remained in solidarity despite the current health threat of COVID-19. We are deeply grateful to alumni for your support over the past year as the University sought to open up novel pathways for further development. Despite unprecedented challenges the world faces, we wish you all a year where you can still be inspired to dream and to live your life's true calling.
