Anthropology, MPhil Year 3

Hey folks, welcome to Morningside : ) Born and raised in Hong Kong and graduated from CUHK with my bachelor’s degree in Anthropology, I genuinely enjoy learning about different cultures and making friends from various backgrounds. I like gym, pop music, politics (sex/gender esp.), and traveling. Just drop by whenever you want to talk! From my experiences of community building, I find it crucial not only to respect diversity in forms of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, accessibility to facilities, class, political views, etc., but also for members to consciously create a safe space for truthful communication for the sake of mutual understanding. Morningside has been renowned for accommodating residents from all around the globe. Let’s bear an open mind and empower ourselves and others with acceptance, empathy, and solidarity. I am sure y’all will have a culturally diverse year of college life ahead!

Geography and Resource Management, MPhil Year 2

Hello! I am Giovanna or my friends would call me "Faji" (sounds like a Japanese name haha). I am a second-year MPhil student in the Department of Geography and Resource Management. I am a CUHK student since my undergraduate study, therefore CUHK is like my second home! My major was Environmental Science, with minor in Biology during my undergraduate study. I worked in various green groups and conservation organisations as part-time or intern jobs. Thus I have great passion in ecological conservation, nature photography and hiking! Apart from academic studies, I have great interest in spiritual and sound healing as well. I love traveling too. I had a very impressive experience when I was an exchange student in Hawaii, the United States. I am excited to share with you all more when we meet!

Welcome to friends from all around the globe! I hope you all will find Morningside a nice place to reside, to learn and to make friends. My name is Christina. I am happy to be your resident tutor and I am so excited to meet you all. As a local student, I seize every opportunity to reach out to the world in my university life. I have been a volunteer in Turkey and an intern at a law firm in the United States. It is thrilling to be exposed to cultural diversity. And I am so lucky that every person that I met during the journey has been so inspiring to me. I think it would be great if I could do so in return to you all. Besides travelling, I also love to do sports like swimming, hiking and especially scuba diving. It is always amazing to be surrounded by the chill seawater and to explore in the blue world. It would be my pleasure to help when you are in need. Please don’t hesitate to come over and share your stories. Let’s be an inspiration for each other and I wish you a fruitful life in University.

Master in Architecture, Year 2

Hi everyone my name is Sarah and I am a year 2 Master of Architecture student, from the Faculty of Social Science. I am so happy to be part of Morningside's family, and also thrilled to meet everyone! I have also graduated from CUHK for my bachelor degree for Architecture. Therefore I really do consider CUHK my home as I have spent so much time here and will have more years to come as well! Having studied in UK for six years in secondary school, I enjoy learning about different cultures and making friends with various cultural backgrounds! Besides Architecture, I am also super into any sports and outdoor activities! But my ultimate favourite is scuba diving, because I feel like being under water is like entering a different world, and at the same time there’s so much to discover! So please feel free to talk to me about anything or join me on my adventures.
