A group of Business Administration alumni performed three classic songs; Mr. Leung Wing-mo, former Assistant Director of the Hong Kong Observatory, delivered a presentation on climate change; Mr. Szeto Leung-tsun (1974/Business Administration) gave a sharing on his retirement and serving in the Church; alumni were invited to share memorable moments of their College life; Mr. Cheung Kin-hung,who was a tutor at the Business Administration department in the early 70's, also joined this reunion and introduced his latest book, Looking at the World Through a Historical Lens. A visit to the New Asia History Gallery at Cheng Ming Building followed.

A banquet at Yun Chi Hsien was held at 7:30pm that night, and Prof. Henry Wong, Head of the College, delivered his welcoming remarks. Mr. Anthony Yuen Tak-tim, Vice President of the New Asia College Alumni Association, was invited to introduce the activities organized by the Association.

The 1974 Alumni Scholarship was established a decade ago at the 30-year Reunion of Class 1974, and has since then been awarding students with outstanding academic performances. Mr. Yip Wing-chi (1975/Economics; 1977/Fine Arts) has kindly donated two pieces of his calligraphy, one of them being a poem written by Mr. Ng Chi-fun (1974/Chinese) for the occasion, for a charity auction to raise funds for the scholarship. Both pieces were sold to Mr. Lee Yuk-hung (1974/Biology). The College would like to express our sincerest thanks for this generosity.
