The I·CARE Achievers Programme will be formally launched in 2018-19. Throughout a three-year span, participants are required to complete a number of stipulated tasks which will help them attain overall quality and finer attributes in five traditional Chinese virtues: integrity, intellect, physique, relationship and aesthetics. When the tasks have been accomplished at certain levels, participants will be awarded corresponding I·CARE Achievers titles, thus allowing them to monitor and modify their experiential learning progress in a systematic way. A number of role models and prominent figures will offer support to the programme as advisors to contribute their wisdom, expertise and experience.
Students who have actively participated in various I·CARE activities were also invited to join the session to share their gains. They included Chan Ying (Public Health - Doctoral Year 2), Chau Wang-fung (Geography and Resource Management - Year 4), Cheung Chi-yan (Earth System Science - Year 2), Ho Tin-lai (Biochemistry - Year 4), Lau Chun-yuk (History - Year 4), Ng On-wa (Medicine - Year 6), Wong Yuen-cheuk (Medicine - Year 5) and Poon Hoi-lam (Psychology - Year 3).
