The Annual Gathering of “INSPIRE” Mentorship Programme was held at Jockey Club Auditorium on 27 October 2021. This occasion provided an opportunity for PolyU to express our wholehearted gratitude to all the 109 highly-esteemed Mentors, who facilitated the holistic education experience of the 349 student Mentees through heart-to-heart communication and positive role modelling, and promoted their all-round development in Academic Year 2020/21.
The event was kicked off by President Jin-Guang Teng, who delivered a welcome address, and followed by Prof. Haitian Lu, Chairman of Task Force on “INSPIRE” Mentorship Programme, who shared updates on “INSPIRE”. A video prepared by Mentees was played, where they shared their takeaways from the Programme and expressed their heartfelt gratitude to their Mentors.
After group photo-taking of PolyU representatives and Mentors, a sharing session between Mentors and Mentees was conducted. Dr Charles Lam, Managing Director, Real Estate of Baring Private Equity Asia, and Mr Stephen Au, Managing Director of MTECH Engineering Co. Ltd., along with 4 of their Mentees, came onto the stage and talked about their experience of the Programme.
