NAMING CEREMONY OF LEE PING YUEN CHAMBER

The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) was deeply honoured to have received a generous donation from Ms Rose Lee Wai Mun in support of the University’s strategic development, the programme development of Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in Corporate Governance, and the establishment of the “Rose W. M. Lee Entrance Scholarship in Corporate Governance”. The Naming Ceremony of “Lee Ping Yuen Chamber” was held on 23 Nov 2018 to show the University’s deepest appreciation for Ms Lee’s unswerving support.

 

Witnessed by over 100 honourable guests, students, alumni and staff members, the ceremony was officiated by Ms Rose Lee, Mr Francis Yuen, Mr Andrew Lee, Ms Mary Lee, Dr Moses Cheng, Council Chairman; Dr Patrick Poon, Chairman of the Foundation Management Committee and Fundraising and Donation Committee; and President Simon Ho.

 

Ms Rose Lee has maintained a very close affiliation with the University. She was Chairman of Board of Governors of Hang Seng Management College (predecessor of the University) from 2013 to 2018, leading the management team to lay the foundation for the University’s far-reaching achievements.

 

In his remarks, Dr Cheng expressed his sincere gratitude to Ms Lee for her dedication to the University. During her tenure as Board Chairman, she contributed genuine advice and support to lead the management team and bring together the strengths of all stakeholders of the University. As a result, HSUHK, as the first private institution to have all standards in institutional review since the Education Bureau’s publication in 2015 of the roadmap of criteria for acquiring university title, has become the eleventh university in Hong Kong. The “Lee Ping Yuen Chamber” was named in memory of Ms Lee’s late father to convey HSUHK community’s heartfelt gratitude for Ms Lee’s generous donation in support of the University and student development.

 

In her speech, Ms Lee said she was pleased to have witnessed the University’s ongoing progress and widespread recognition in society for the excellence of its academic research, quality of teaching, and student achievements. The recent acquisition of university title will be a cornerstone for its future development. Ms Lee strongly supported the corporate governance programme of HSUHK and looked forward to more short courses, seminars, and conferences organised by the University, which she believed would help to promote public financial literacy and reinforce Hong Kong’s standing as an international finance centre. She also hoped that the industry would offer adequate internship opportunities for students to acquire practical experience in the field.

 

In his vote of thanks, President Simon Ho pointed out HSUHK’s aspiration to become a leading liberal-arts-oriented private university in the region. With Ms Lee’s timely contributions and under the Government’s Seventh Matching Grant Scheme, the University has already gained greater benefits for its development and its students. President Ho called for greater support from the wider community, so that the University could nurture future talents for the corporate governance industry and further contribute to the higher education in Hong Kong.
