Presidential Remarks 2019 at Annual Welcome Dinner and 2019MT Term Card published

The Annual Welcome Dinner of OxHKScholars was successfully hosted at Sojo on 15 October 2019. Around 50 new and current members were joined by the Committee and our Senior Member, Prof. Man-yee Kan (Sociology). The lively conversations were then continued next door at The Oxford Retreat. As our President Terence outlined yesterday in the dinner, OxHKScholars has prepared a series of social, academic and development activities throughout the Michaelmas Term.

Here is the Presidential Remarks delivered at the Annual Welcome Dinner:

I would like to welcome every one of you to our first event in Oxford. I am really delighted by the huge presence of HK postgraduate community tonight, as we did not expect such enthusiasm.

Without further ado, I would like to introduce our Association. The OxHKScholars Association is here to serve as a platform for HK postgraduate community to facilitate social, academic and professional exchange. We aim to provide our members with a plethora of activities.
