President's Message

 

Dear Fellow Members,

 

In 2015, a group of selfless and enthusiastic local and overseas university association heads formed a steering committee to establish this Alumni Union. The purposes of Global Universities Alumni Union (GUAU) are 

 

1. To promote common interests among graduates of the university AA members and members of The Global Universities Alumni Union in Hong Kong.

 

2. To forge a channel of communication between the university AA members and the graduates, and among university AA members of the Association.

 

3. To enhance the contribution of The Global Universities Alumni Union members towards the community.

 

4. To initiate the exchange and promotion of professional knowledge among its members.

 

5. To promote concern for the progress and future development of The Global Universities Alumni Union.

 

I am very honoured to be the Founding President of the GUAU. GUAU is led and managed by a talented enthusiastic group of university alumni association heads. We volunteer many hours of our busy lives to the GUAU because we believe in additional to alumni networking and advancement purposes, it is important to assemble ideas of like-minded distinguished social elites to provide a more comprehensive proposal for the community and the government and deliver POSITIVE ENERGY. GUAU organizes various activities to strengthen members’ sense of belonging and contribution to society so as to promote social prosperity and stability.

Hong Kong is experiencing stagnation in development and is surpassed by competitors around. There is cleavage of views within our society and turmoil around the world. In view of such circumstances, as social elites, university graduates should timely offer constructive suggestions and solutions regarding social issues for the sustainable development of society and the people’s long-term well-being. Since Hong Kong and returned overseas elites have different backgrounds, education and experiences, through the consolidation of thoughts from various angles, we believe GUAU members can provide a more comprehensive proposal for the community and the government and deliver positive energy. 

GUAU aims to contribute in the following:

1. To assemble ideas of liked-minded distinguished social elites;

2. To nurture the spirit of serving the community and enhancing the competitiveness for wide benefits of the society; 

3. To keep fairly and objectively probing issues encountered by our society from different perspectives and seek solutions; 

4. To timely express views and demands of intellectuals to the government in economic, social and community matters; 

5. To support policy in favor of the future development of our society; 

6. To deliver advice on social problems and unfavorable policy; 

7. To promote social progress and future development so as to grasp the imperative of globalization and new opportunities brought about by the competitive environment;

GUAU takes root in Hong Kong and faces the world. GUAU builds a platform reinforcing values of openness, fairness, generosity and forgiveness; promotes interaction and encouragement among members; strengthens professional knowledge; and create a better future for ourselves and our future generations.

I encourage you to actively participate in the activities organized by GUAU  which will not only provide career development, knowledge enrichment, and networking opportunities, but also make contribution to society to promote its prosperity and stability.

Thank you for visiting this website. I hope you’ll visit this site more regularly to stay up-to-date on news and events that are occurring among us. If you have any new ideas and suggestions on what GUAU can do better, please feel free to contact us. I sincerely wish to see all the fellow members and graduates in the upcoming activities with our warm welcoming.

With warmest regards

Sincerely

Ir. Dr. C.K. HUNG
