At the 17th Honorary University Fellowship Conferment Ceremony held on 23 September, HKBU honoured three distinguished persons, namely Dr Tisa Ho Kar-kuan, Mr Edward Lui and Ms Yao Jue, in recognition of their significant contributions to society and staunch support of the University.

In his address at the Ceremony, Professor Alexander Wai, President and Vice-Chancellor, acknowledged the three Honorary University Fellowship recipients as well-respected and renowned leaders in society, and he said they have all led extraordinary lives and had decorated careers with common roots in Hong Kong.

“They deserve the honour not only because of their personal success, but also the deeds they have done to share that success. We are especially touched by how they have influenced the next generation, helped others realise their own dreams, and brought hope to society through their educational endeavours and charitable acts. They have set wonderful examples by generating possibilities and building platforms for others to rise,” he said.

Speaking on behalf of the Honorary University Fellows, Ms Yao Jue thanked HKBU for conferring Honorary University Fellowships on them, and she said they felt honoured to be receiving this special recognition as Hong Kong celebrates the 25th Anniversary of its return to the motherland. She was deeply grateful that Hong Kong has broadened her horizons, and she added that she was able to realise her dreams of nurturing local musicians, thanks to the experience and courage that she has gained during her time in the city.
