PREVIEW OF FACULTY'S

35TH ANNIVERSARY GALA DINNER

here have been a flurry of activities in the run-up to the much anticipated 35th Anniversary Gala Dinner
Ton 25 September 2016. Here are some of the exciting events.

FACULTY-TEE DESIGN COMPETITION

tudents from the Faculty of Medicine including Medicine, School of Chinese
SMedicine, School of Pharmacy, The Jockey Club School of Public Health and
Primary Care and The Nethersole School of Nursing, got together to organise a
competition for the design of an anniversary Faculty tee-shirt.
The event, solely organised by the undergraduates themselves, was open to all
students in the Faculty. There was no judge or jury because everyone could
participate by voting for the best designs.
Twenty-three entries were received and the winner, Chan Ching-ho (Medicine
Year 2) garnered 206 votes out of 700 and walked away with a cool HKD2,000
and a Medic Bear.
The competition might have been intense but the fun it generated brought the
students from different schools closer together.

FACULTY CHOIR

he 35th Anniversary Choir promises to be a showstopper, offering only the finest choral
Trepertoire. The group is made up of 20 students and alumni from all schools within
CUHK ’s Faculty of Medicine.
The enthusiastic singers have been practising for days to ensure perfection during the Gala
Dinner. Soloists include Rainbow Tsang (Nursing) and Harry Fung (Medicine Year 3). Irene
Cheng is the musical conductor and overseeing the group are Professor Vivian Lee (Assistant
Dean, Student Development) and Professor Janita Chau (Assistant Dean, Alumni Affairs).

The choir had a pleasant surprise when the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Professor
Francis Chan, popped by during a rehearsal in late August to give his encouragement.
All the performers will be wearing the newly designed Faculty-Tee to portray the image of unity.

VIDEO PRODUCTION

o anniversary celebrations would be complete without a video
Ndocumentary and a video compilation of the Faculty’s 35th
anniversary is no different as it charts its achievements over the years as
one of Asia’s top young medical schools.
Alumni, professors, students and benefactors were invited to participate
in the shoot, covering five different themes: history, teaching, research,
recognition and the way forward. They shared their thoughts, stories and
anecdotes about the Faculty.

The video will premiere at the Anniversary Gala Dinner on 25 September 2016
and will be made available on the Faculty website and Facebook page.
