Dear Students,
In this e-Bulletin of the Student Experience and Development Section (SEDS) of the Office of Student Affairs, you will find updates on the non-formal and informal learning opportunities, which comprise cultural activities, leadership development initiatives, entrepreneurship training, service-learning projects, volunteer work and funding support, offered by SEDS to facilitate your well-rounded personal growth.
It is understandable that many of you usually rank academic excellence as your highest priority. In fact, developing generic skills and advancing personal qualities are as equally important for your future professional pursuits. Nowadays, individuals with strong soft skills are highly sought-after recruits as employers no longer look for employees who are solely outstanding in subject knowledge. In this sense, joining our programmes or activities to foster your whole-person development is essential. I come to know many students who have transformed a great deal after engaging themselves in various whole-person development initiatives – they have moved from passive to proactive, from silent to talkative, from mentees to mentors, and from followers to leaders.
To establish a closer connection with you as well as all CUHKers, we have at recent opened a new Instagram account (@cuhk_osa_seds). Please do follow us to obtain our timely updates. We look forward to meeting you in person at student development programmes and activities!
Dr. Tommy Law
Head, Student Experience and Development Section
