Serena Yang Distinguished Lecture: Illusions of Memory

BACKGROUND
　

This series has been made possible by the generosity and support of Ms. Serena Yang, a graduate of the Kwansei Gakuin University, Japan and prominent in the local business community, who first came to HKU as a visiting student in the early 1990s. Wishing to try something new and to study for her own sake, she embarked on a series of undergraduate psychology courses, making many friends amongst her fellow students and quickly becoming fired by the enthusiasms of her teachers. It was from this experience that she decided to make donations which have supported initiatives in teaching and staff development, research, and -- through scholarships -- also made it possible for two or three students each year to go on exchange to the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.  It was from one of her donations that this series of distinguished lectures has been made possible, and for all her contributions, the University is indebted.
