Dean Zhou took the floor to welcome the students, and encourage students to remain steadfast and faithful to their goals in the face of adversity,
“It is at this juncture of time that you embark on one of the most important journeys you will ever take at CUHK… in the next four years you will experience the college life to its fullest extent: learning and studying, self-discovering, building characters, forging friendships, planning future career, community service and engagement, etc.”

Mr. Peter Yan (BBA in Marketing, Class of 1985), 2020 Beta Gamma Sigma CUHK Chapter Honouree, first congratulated students on embarking their new chapter in life in his awardee speech. He offered words of encouragement for students to embrace changes, and take on a positive attitude in viewing challenges as possibilities and opportunities.
Finally, Prof. Andy Wong (Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies), shared his recommendation of five things to do in University: Read more, make friends, learn from mistakes, exercise, and learn more.
“Be brave. Don’t stop trying because of your fear of mistakes and failures. Do more. Fill your pages with stories and memories. The best four years of your life start now. Do more to make them slow, to make them last.”
