“I am honored to join with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in celebrating its 75th anniversary. Since its founding in 1937, PolyU has grown and flourished into the vibrant academic community it is today, with an inspirational vision for advancing application-oriented research in order to help our society and make a difference in the world. This significant 75-year milestone is an occasion to look back with pride at all of PolyU’s achievements thus far, and also to look forward with excitement to the bright future that lies ahead. I extend my sincere congratulations to President Timothy Tong and all of the faculty, researchers, staff, students, alumni, and friends of PolyU.”
