Four recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Award shared their experiences in scientific research, education, serving society, as well as their precious memories at CUHK. They also thanked the profound influence that teaching staff of the Faculty had on them. Some were inspired and encouraged by teachers to pursue further studies and research beyond Hong Kong. With their unique talent, vision, and dedication, they have been shining in diverse areas, pushing forth the frontiers of science, and passing on knowledge to young science talents. Furthermore, three younger alumni, who received the Alumni Achievement Award or Young Alumni Award, talked about their valuable memories and encouragements received at CUHK. In time, the various inspirations they accumulated through different experiential learning activities while studying at CUHK, have greatly reinforced their passions and aspirations for the betterment of our society and the world.
