September 1993 saw the inaugural general meeting of the CUHK Convocation, a statutory body of the University with all graduates as its members. This long-awaited event, which coincided with the University's 30th anniversary celebrations, marked an important milestone in the history of the University. Two elected representatives of the Convocation were appointed to the University Council in June 1994. To strengthen the communication network with its graduates, the University upgraded and enlarged its computer database on alumni during the year. A full colour quarterly magazine, CU Alumni, rolled off the press in July 1994. The new publication has a circulation of 40,000 and is distributed free to all alumni as well as staff, students, and friends of the University to foster closer bonds. The University also introduced a new CUHK affinity card programme, with the alumni as major cardholders, in July 1994. The new card programme provides for a contribution to be made by the card issuing bank to the University, which is directly proportional to the level of spendings made by cardholders. The programme was enthusiastically supported by the alumni community, and the card is a symbol of their permanent linkage and loyalty to their alma mater.
