They include: the US Midwest Chapter of the CUHK Alumni Association, the Alumni Association of France, the Automation and Computer-aided Engineering Alumni Association, and the Chinese Medicine Alumni Association. Subsequent to the publication of Our New York Experiences — Voices from the CUHK Alumni in 2001 by the Greater New York Alumni Association, the Northern California Alumni Association produced what has become the second in a series of CUHK alumni publications titled The CUHK Alumni in San Francisco Bay Area in celebration of the association’s silver jubilee. CUHK alumni have consistently taken interest in social and educational issues at large as well as the development of CUHK. In the past 12 years since its establishment, the CUHK Convocation facilitated numerous opportunities for alumni to express their views towards these issues and the views gathered were referred to the parties concerned. To encourage student service and creativity, the convocation founded the annual CUHK Convocation Outstanding Services and Creativity Student Awards. In addition, the Education Foundation of the Federation of CUHK Alumni Associations continued to contribute to local education. The foundation now operates two kindergartens, one primary school and two secondary schools in Hong Kong. It also raises funds to support poor regions in China. With new schools established recently across Guangdong, Hunan and Sichuan, the total number of the foundation’s schools in China has grown to 30.
