In response to PolyU’s departmental L2L strategy, the Educational Development Centre (EDC) launched the ‘Goal Beeyond’ event series this year. The L2L Showcase cum Award Ceremony 2023 was successfully held on 12 June 2023 at the Global Student Hub to conclude the series. APSS is honoured to be the recipient of the L2L Champion Award, an award given to the department with the highest number of students and teachers who participated in events of the ‘Goal Beeyond’ campaign.
Apart from receiving the grand award, APSS also received recognition through awards won by some of its faculty members and student. Prof. Daniel SHEK, Associate Vice President (Undergraduate Programme) and Chair Professor; Dr Rodney CHU, Senior Teaching Fellow; and Dr Paul KHIATANI, Research Assistant Professor, received the ‘Enlightening Moments’ Award for their reflections, insights, and wisdom on L2L. Their submissions were included in a booklet printed by EDC titled Enlightening Moments: An Anthology of Reflections, Insights and Wisdom on L2L by Teachers.
Last but not least, Miss Mengning Ivy DUAN, a student of Master of Applied Psychology, participated in the L2L Mini Learning Portfolio Contest. The contest required students to set a goal and work towards achieving it over the course of a semester. Students were also required to reflect on their learning experiences and tell their stories through a mini-portfolio. Mengning’s portfolio, “Find a Good Job”, won The ‘Water’ Award. This Award is given to the mini-portfolio that best makes viewers reflect on their own learning. Congratulations to Mengning for being an inspiration to others!
