New Asia College The Chinese University of Hong Kong eNewsletter

The Mentorship Programme jointly organised by the New Asia College and the NACAA has come to its 18th year. With the great support by the NACAA and the effort of numerous alumni enthusiastic in engaging students' participation, more than 230 alumni and students enrolled in the programme this year. Their years of graduation ranged from 1974 to 2013, which showed that alumni in different stages of life all shared the spirit of passing the torch to the next generation. The College sincerely thanks our trustees and alumni for their enthusiasm and support.

The Inauguration Ceremony of Mentorship Programme 2018/19 was successfully held at the Charles Leung Gymnasium on the afternoon of 27 October 2018. A "mentor briefing session" was conducted half an hour before the ceremony for the College to introduce the programme operation to the new mentors.

During the inauguration ceremony, Acting Head of College Professor Chu Ka-hou and President of NACAA Mr. Anthony Yiu welcomed and spoke to the participants. Apart from thanking the mentors for their enthusiastic support, they expressed a wish that mentees would seize the opportunity to get in touch with various New Asia College people, and that mentors and mentees would become good friends and pass on the New Asia spirit.

On that day, in order to recognise the unfailing and selfless support of our mentors, the College, represented by Professor Chu and Mr. Yiu, presented "long service awards", each of which comprised a certificate and a badge as souvenir, to mentors who had served for 5, 10 and 15 years.

The College has decided to organise a Career Talks Day in the coming semester, on 19 January 2019. The College will invite mentors to share their career experiences with more students at workshops covering various industries. Would alumni interested in signing up as mentors please watch out for the recruitment mass email to be issued every July or August. Alumni are also welcome to approach the College for enquiry anytime.
