Each award recipient received a certificate and a souvenir from President Prof. Jin-Guang Teng on behalf of PolyU as a token of appreciation from the University.
Prof. Teng, also an award recipient this year who has served the University for 30 years, expressed his sincere appreciation to the contributions by all the long-serving staff to the University, and highly commended their devotion and excellent service.
