Honorary Chairperson’s Message

榮譽主席的話

Thanks to the unfailing support and generous contributions from our stakeholders, donors and
friends, 2015–16 has been another rewarding year for the City University of Hong Kong Foundation
(CityU Foundation). The Foundation’s enthusiasm for the further development of City University of
Hong Kong (CityU) has helped propel us forward in our pursuit for excellence.

As a strong testament to increasing public recognition, we have attracted more donors in the past
year. The size of donations has also been on the rise, with one particular donation being the largest
the University has ever raised. These donations will go a long way in supporting CityU’s strategic
development, and will greatly enhance many of our groundbreaking initiatives such as School of
Veterinary Medicine, student exchange and internship, innovation and entrepreneurship projects.

Building on the solid support from society, we aim to promote closer collaboration between
the community and the University. More campus visits are being coordinated with leaders and
representatives from the business and industrial sectors. These linkages help forge stronger
partnerships with various sectors, helping us to nurture talent that will make great contributions
to society.

Our successes would not be possible without the generous backing from Foundation members in
the past year. Your continuous support will be vital to the University in our drive for academic and
research excellence.
