HKU Science Alumni Association |
|
The Hong Kong University Science Alumni Association (HKUSAA) was formed in 1989 when the Science Faculty celebrated its 50th Anniversary. The objectives of the association are to maintain fellowship among science graduates, provide support to the undergraduates and contribute to the society at large in the scientific, commercial and industrial fields. This year at the turn of the millennium, the HKUSAA is stepping into a new decade commemorating its 10th Anniversary. On Oct 29 2000 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, a new Committee for 2000/2001 was elected comprising 10 science graduates from the 70s to 90s:
| President - Carolina Leung
Vice President - Jack Leung Secretary - Kenny Lau Treasurer - Brian Choy Member - Arnold Ko, Banda Lee, Catherine Lau, Edward Wong, Janet Lee, Vincent Lam |
|

At the start of the new decade, the HKUSAA was revamped - all science alumni automatically become members of the HKUSAA and no membership fee is required. In the coming year, the HKUSAA has planned a series of activi-ties for its members. Some of the highlights are listed below. |
Happy Hour Gathering - The happy hour gathering will be a causal and regular meeting for science alumni to meet, relax and chat. It will be held on every second Tuesday of the month at the STIX Bar Basement of Park Lane Hotel Causeway Bay. No prior registration is required and all science alumni can drop by any time between 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm. The coming gatherings will be held on Feb 13, Mar 13 and Apr 10.
Field Trip/Short Overnight Trip - This includes various kinds of outings in forms of special interest groups or family outings, such as white dolphin cruise, bird watching trip or short overnight trip to nearby countries.
Ties with our Alma Mater
The HKUSAA serves as a bridge for science alumni to maintain contact with their alma mater, to contribute and participate in programmes organized by the University. For example, the HKU Mentorship Programme and the Sports and Fun Day organized by the DAAO.
| To: All Science Graduates |
| After graduation most of us have lost contract with our classmates or U mates. It is our hope that through these activities, our alumni can reconnect more meaningfully with each other. In fact, you may find it interesting and rewarding by meeting graduates from different years and professions. If you are a science graduate and want to re-establish contact with your many fellow graduates, please fax us your corresponding details to 2858 4620 or email us at hkusaa@www.hku.hk or visit our website. www.hku.hk/hkusaa. |

selection of top Bordeaux red wines of the outstanding 1990vintage. Mr
Burr is one of the top wine experts in the world. The basics of wine appreciation
were presented and many intelligent questions were raised as to the merits
of different chateaux, grape variants, modern techniques and terroir. Fortunately,

In the weekend of October 7 to 9, members from four alumni associations
in North America and the United Kingdom gathered together in Las Vegas
for the 3rd Joint Event of North America Chapters. This event was hosted
by the HKUAA, Southern California. Members and their relatives from British
Columbia, Northern California, Southern California and England, totaling
over 30 people, participated in the fun-filled event. The event started
off with a Chinese dinner reception. Many members then went to enjoy the
famous stage shows in Las Vegas. The next day, the group went to Red Rock
Canyon National Conservation Area to see the beautiful red rock formation.
Some members continued their outdoor exploration while some were crazy
in enjoying food and shopping. The trip was concluded with a farewell dinner.

It was a great opportunity for alumni members from different places to build new friendship and reunite with fellow alumni members. There was an immediate connection among the members and everybody had a great time. Everyone agrees that this joint event is a tradition worth keeping. The Ontario alumni chapter has agreed to take the torch to host the joint event next year. Please see future issues for details of the forthcoming event.
