‘Celebrity Talk: Act on your ambitions’ was held by the Office of Student Affairs on 29 October. The talk was given by Mr. Arnold Chan, a CUHK alumnus (2010/United/Global Business Studies) and founder of the NGO ‘Teach for Hong Kong’. This year, he was included on Forbes’ ‘30 Under 30 Asia: Social Entrepreneurs’ list and named as one of Hong Kong’s ‘Ten Outstanding Young Persons’. In his presentation, Mr. Chan told an audience of 80 how he had founded ‘Teach for Hong Kong’ to promote quality and equality in education. He encouraged students to develop a good range of attributes while at university and try their best to help the underprivileged.
