Ying Yin David Wong Singapore Bachelor of Science in Quantitative Finance Following a decade as HKU's Dean of Student Affairs, Dr Albert Chau reflects on Many HKU students see service learning as a fundamental social responsibility of a learned university student, applying their knowledge and skills to contribute to a better and more caring society. how HKU enriches its learning through community service. HKU has always made serving the community an integral part of our students’ learning experience. Back in 1950, the HKU Students’ Union established the Social Service Group to serve underprivileged people in Hong Kong and China. In 1995, the Students’ Union went GLOBAL ADMISSIONS PROFILE 2015-16 GLOBAL ADMISSIONS PROFILE 2015-16 SERVICE LEARNING: MAKING EDUCATION MORE MEANINGFUL on to create the China Education Association – a registered charity providing financial subsidies, classes and tutorial groups to students, while renovating schools in remote villages in Mainland China. When HKU celebrated its centenary in 2011, the SERVICE 100 scheme was introduced to connect hundreds of HKU scholars with community service opportunities, making significant impacts on societies around the world. To enhance the inclusion of service learning in HKU curriculums, the University’s faculties and departments have increasingly incorporated experiential learning methods into their teaching activities. More recently, HKU students have initiated and driven multiple social enterprises to tackle the UN’s set of Sustainable Development Goals and Millennium Development Goals to help put an end to poverty and hunger, support gender equality, combat climate change, and promote fair trade. HKU has also sponsored our students to attend conferences such as the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris, and the Clinton Global Initiative in Florida. Service and learning at HKU are two sides supporting the same coin. Through community service endeavours, the University fulfils a commitment to improving the 34 35 living conditions of underprivileged communities, particularly in Asia, while realising its vision of nurturing responsible future world leaders. INSIDE STORIES Community service after graduation Many HKU graduates continue to contribute their talents and knowledge to serve Expanding empathy in Hong Kong I took part in a one-month summer programme organised by the Society for the Welfare of Autistic Persons. Volunteers are paired up with a child with autism or down syndrome to act as their buddy for the month. Our responsibilities included helping the children with their holiday homework, assisting with outings and classes, and disciplinary control. The unique experience gave me the chance to understand the kids, talk to their parents, and learn how to communicate with people living with these conditions.
