In appreciation of the long-standing generous support from the community, Hong Kong Metropolitan University (HKMU) held its annual Foundation Dinner on 3 April to unite efforts across sectors to support the development of the University and nurture future talent.
Themed “Inspiring Dreams Beyond Limits”, the HKMU Foundation Dinner was officiated by Dr Eddy Fong Ching, HKMU Pro-Chancellor; Ir Dr Conrad Wong Tin-cheung, HKMU Council Chairman; Prof. Paul Lam Kwan-sing, HKMU President; and Dr Peter Lee Kwok-wah, Chairman of the HKMU Foundation Advisory Committee. They presented a souvenir to Dr Vincent Woo Wing-fai, Deputy Chairman of the FAC and Title Sponsor of the Dinner; and Dr Simon Woo King-chung, Chairman of the Dinner Organising Committee 2025. This gesture not only expressed the University’s gratitude for their dedicated support but also extended wishes for Five Blessings and continued prosperity.
Over 360 guests, alumni, faculty and students attended the Dinner, which featured a spectacular programme of performances. A highlight of the evening was a chit-chat session where the four officiating guests shared key developments at HKMU over the years. The atmosphere was further enhanced by an energetic singing performance from an HKMU student band. An auction session was also held, attracting enthusiastic participation from benefactors to bid on their desired items.
The generous donations from donors during the Dinner will support university development, research projects, student development, the HKMU Bursary Scheme and bursaries for prison inmates, among others. Additionally, a generous donation of HK$1 million was made by a friend of HKMU to support the University’s research and teaching projects related to the low-altitude economy, which will help drive development in areas such as telecommunications technologies, artificial intelligence and the digital industry. Looking ahead, the HKMU Foundation will continue to work closely with all sectors of society to help students reach beyond their imagination, creating unlimited possibilities.
