College Alumni Advisory Board Inaugural Meeting Sparks Exciting Initiatives

The College Alumni Advisory Board (CAAB) held its inaugural meeting on 19 September, bringing together a group of passionate and dedicated alumni leaders committed to supporting the College’s growth and strengthening its alumni network.

Dean Stephen Shum, the Chairman of the CAAB, welcomed the newly appointed board members and expressed his appreciation for their enthusiasm and willingness to serve. He also shared the College’s vision for the CAAB, emphasising its role in co-creating impactful initiatives, enhancing the College’s international positioning, and cultivating a strong and supportive alumni network.

Five sub-committees were formed to focus on key areas that will drive the board’s work forward, with members volunteering to contribute based on their interests and areas of expertise. Each sub-committee is chaired by a founding member:

・ Corporate Collaboration– Mr Wilson Chong (BA Quantitative Analysis for Business 1992)
・ Student Development – Mr William Mak (BA Accountancy 1991)
・ Fundraising – Mr Jackson Chan (EMBA Chinese 2024)
・ Alumni Network – Mr Dan Wang (EMBA Chinese 2018)
・ International Collaboration – Mr Anthony Lam (EMBA 2015)

Following the meeting, board members attended a celebration lunch, where they were formally presented with appointment letters. The lunch provided a relaxed setting for members to connect and establish collaborative relationships that will underpin the board’s work moving forward.

The CAAB serves as a strategic platform for alumni to contribute their expertise, insights, and professional networks, helping to shape initiatives that benefit both students and the wider alumni community. Its formation reflects the College’s ongoing commitment to fostering meaningful alumni relations and leveraging the alumni network as a strategic asset.

The CAAB will undergo an annual membership review to ensure diversity, renewal, and broad participation as the board evolves.
