This February, The Chinese University of Hong Kong presented the University Education Award 2020 and the Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award 2019 in recognition of teachers’ commitment to the promotion of teaching excellence and outstanding teaching performance. Three teachers received the University Education Award while nine were conferred the Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award. Among the awardees, three of them are members of S.H. Ho College. The details are as follows:

CUHK instituted the University Education Award in 2011-12 to honour teachers for outstanding commitment to the promotion of teaching excellence. Recipients of the award are commended for their contributions to enhancing students’ learning experience through curriculum design/development, for their adoption of learner-centred approaches, and their scholarship in teaching and learning. The selection panel of the University-wide education award comprises the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education), Associate Deans (Education) of the eight Faculties and the Director of University General Education.

The Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award has been given annually since 1999 by the Vice-Chancellor to exemplary teachers nominated by the Dean of each Faculty and the Senate Committee on General Education in recognition of their outstanding teaching performance.

In addition, Dr. Li Ming Kenneth was also awarded with Exemplary Teaching Award in General Education 2019 in recognition of his contributions this June. Established in 2006, the Exemplary Teaching Award in General Education is launched by the Senate Committee on General Education (SCGE). Nominations are invited from all the GE teachers and undergraduate students. The nominations are reviewed by the SCGE Standing Committee basing on the course design, teaching and learning activities, and tutelage in the General Education courses they offered. The award will be presented by the SCGE to a maximum of three teachers in recognition of exemplary contribution to teaching and learning in General Education. All nominations will be reviewed by the SCGE Standing Committee based on the nominee’s contribution to GE in the past two academic years.
