HKU held its Honorary University Fellowships presentation ceremony on September 14, 2010 which was presided over by Dr the Hon David K.P. Li, Pro-Chancellor of the University.

Honorary University Fellowships were presented to eight distinguished individuals, in recognition of their contributions to the University and the community. At the ceremony, HKU Vice-Chancellor Professor Lap-Chee Tsui extended his gratitude on behalf of the University community to the fellows for their contributions to the University and society.

Professor Tsui said: “They are true examples of commitment, determination, generosity and leadership, because they themselves lead by example.”

The Honorary University Fellowships were established in 1995 to reaffirm the University’s link between town and gown.

“Our relationship with society is an important part of the University’s heritage and the Fellowships are an enduring symbol of this partnership,“ added Professor Tsui.
