Lest We Forget Our Quest for the Beautiful and the Good
85th Congregation for the Conferment of Degrees
Late autumn once again marked the time to bid farewell to CUHK students. On 15 November, CUHK held its 85th Congregation for the Conferment of Degrees, with Dr. Norman N.P. Leung, Chairman of the University Council presiding over the occasion and conferring 4,150 bachelor’s and 5,672 master’s degrees.
It was the first time Prof. Rocky S. Tuan, Vice-Chancellor and President, attended a Congregation and shared his thoughts with the new graduates. In his speech, he told the stories of three CUHK students and invoked his own example to call on students to remain true to their aspirations and passion, and be steadfast in their pursuit of what is beautiful and good. He urged students not to stop learning, and to keep pursuing the truth.
Lauding Excellent Teaching and Research
November also marks the golden time to harvest and honour past efforts. The Congregation doubled as the stage for the inauguration of the Choh-Ming Li Professorship and award ceremonies for outstanding teachers and researchers.
May all aspirations, and toil along the way, be not lost.
