The Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) Foundation Dinner was held on 22 October to express the University’s gratitude to members of the Board of Governors, Honorary Trustees, Honorary Permanent Presidents and Honorary Presidents of the HKBU Foundation, as well as supporters of the University for their generosity and staunch support over the years.

In his welcoming remarks, Dr Kennedy Wong, Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Foundation, said that HKBU has attained magnificent results in the Eighth Matching Grant Scheme launched by the HKSAR Government in spite of the pandemic. 

“The University successfully secured a record-breaking sum of HK$950 million, comprising HK$662 million in donations and HK$288 million in matching funds, by the close of the Scheme in May 2021, which is a highly gratifying outcome. I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to friends and donors for their tremendous support towards the development of HKBU, and I look forward to their continued support in the years to come,” said Dr Wong.

Professor Alexander Wai, President and Vice-Chancellor, shared the University’s latest developments at the Dinner, particularly the strategic development of Chinese medicine and art-tech.
