On 1 June 2019, the first PolyU Alumni Affairs Development Roundtable Meeting, organised by Alumni Affairs and Development Office (AADO), was held at PolyU Shenzhen Research Institute. Dr Miranda Lou, Executive Vice President, together with alumni representatives from six mainland alumni Networks and Federation of PolyU Alumni Association, attended the meeting to explore the development of alumni affairs of PolyU.
Dr Miranda Lou introduced the latest development and achievement of research and student development of PolyU to alumni representatives. The representative from Office of Careers and Placement Services (CAPS) conducted a briefing to the alumni representatives, hoping to receive their support for the Work-Integrated Education (WIE) programme. Thereafter, Ms Maggie Chen, CEO of PolyU Base (Shenzhen) Limited and Chief Representative of PolyU Shenzhen Research Institute, led a guided tour for the alumni representatives.
The alumni representatives actively shared views and insights about “how alumni networks and associations support the University’s student development" and "how alumni networks and associations contribute to the alma mater and strengthen the bond of the PolyU alumni family”.
The meeting has a fruitful conclusion. The alumni networks and associations will continuously support PolyU and actively explore means for student development, research collaboration, and alumni engagement for the alma mater. The second PolyU Alumni Affairs Development Roundtable Meeting was tentatively scheduled for the end of 2019 in Beijing.
