Dean's Sharing
Welcome to the Student Affairs Office (SAO) Annual Highlights for 2022/23. As per our inaugural issue published last year, this Highlights publication covers the major achievements and fruits of the work of SAO over the past academic year, as well as sharing from some of our dedicated students.
With the welcome return of normality after COVID-19, SAO has embraced an array of opportunities to resume activities that had come to a standstill for the past three years. Thanks to our colleagues’ boundless zest and dedication, SAO remained a supportive companion, and even a quasi-mentor, for our students in their pursuit of all-round education at the University.

Outstanding Student Award & Presidential Student Leadership Award Presentation Ceremony
PolyU organises the Outstanding Students Award Scheme (OSA) annually to encourage students to thrive both academically and non-academically, as well as fostering their holistic development.

“INSPIRE” Mentorship Programme 2022/23 & Annual Gathering
Since 2020, the university-wide mentorship programme “INSPIRE” has been dedicated to enriching holistic education experience and facilitating all-round development for our students – both undergraduates and postgraduates – across all Faculties or Schools. This programme has been a great success through these years, thanks to the role models and prominent leaders from the robust network of the PolyU community.
