To celebrate the 55th Graduation Anniversary of 1967 graduates in Building, Engineering, Surveying and Technology, a homecoming event was successfully held for this “B.E.S.T. Class 1967”. With 11 senior alumni coming back to their alma mater on the 11th day of January, it also symbolised “best of the best” at the beginning of 2023!
Organised by the Alumni Affairs Office (AAO) and supported by the Department of Building and Real Estate (BRE), the event started with warm greetings from Ms Wanze Li, Interim Director of Alumni Affairs. To capture such a memorable occasion, the group certainly did not miss the chance to take photos at the Alumni Atrium, PolyU Main Entrance and other favourite campus spots.
The second part of their reunion took place at the BRE Department. After they entered Block Z, Ir Prof. Michael C.H. Yam, Head of BRE, gave a presentation on the recent development and future plans of the department. The alumni also visited the Building Technology Laboratory and CARE Resource Centre, where everyone was excited by Cave Automatic Virtual Environment and 3D printing technology.
All participants were particularly elated at meeting their former teachers and classmates again. While this homecoming event has just ended, they are already anticipating celebrations for their 60th Graduation Anniversary!
