The cafe provides a mutual learning opportunity for both its employees and the University community. While employees with disabilities have been given the chance to be self-reliant after receiving training, University staff members and students have learned to embrace inclusiveness and positively interact with the employees. In the same spirit, the convenience store on campus is operated by Rehabilitation Alliance Hong Kong, which gives training to people with disabilities and rehabilitated patients so that they can be re-integrated into society, allowing the University community to get to know these groups of people better.
To help protect the environment, the University stepped up waste reduction efforts in collaboration with the Conservancy Association during the year, placing recycling bins on campus. Some 180 kilogrammes of used clothes were collected, partly for donation to Cambodia and partly for turning into work gloves for industrial use locally.
To nurture our students as caring future leaders, the University launched a mass community service project entitled Action By Care – Move For Good on 1 March 2016. More than 500 staff members, students and alumni participated in the project whereby they recorded the calories they burned during physical exercise for three weeks by using Mi Bands. Over 3.1 million burned calories were then tallied and converted into equivalent bowls of rice to be donated to underprivileged families and those in need of food assistance.
