The “Melody & Boardgames @ Alumni Atrium” event on 17 February 2025 was a fantastic gathering where PolyU alumni and students came together to celebrate their shared passions for music and board games. With over 50 participants, the event successfully blended these two interests, fostering new friendships and strengthening alumni connections.
One of the highlights was the unexpected crossover between music lovers and board game enthusiasts. Some attendees who initially registered for singing found themselves drawn to the chess and board games zone, while others who came for the games could not resist joining the karaoke room after hearing fellow alumni sing. This spontaneous exchange of interests made the event even more dynamic and engaging, allowing participants to explore new hobbies and bond over shared experiences. Both the current and former chairpersons of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Student Affairs Office Chess and Boardgames Club also joined the event, adding a special touch by sharing new knowledge and fostering a relaxing atmosphere for alumni from different generations to connect with one another.
Moreover, this evening marked the official launch of the Alumni Singing Club, and the Alumni Chess and Boardgames Club. All the core members were present during the launch, including Ir Prof. Johnny Fan, Mr Darron Sun, and Mr Alan Wu, who represented the Alumni Singing Club; as well as Mr Frankie Lee, Ms Chloe Lau, and Ms Venessa Chung, who represented the Alumni Chess and Boardgames Club. They celebrated the beginning of these exciting new alumni clubs together, paving the way for greater alumni engagement in the future.
“Melody & Boardgames @ Alumni Atrium” was more than just an event – it was the beginning of a thriving community where alumni can continue to share their passions and grow together. Stay tuned for upcoming activities from the Alumni Singing Club and the Alumni Chess and Boardgames Club, as well as many more interest clubs to come! We can’t wait to see you at the next gathering.
