Annual Report 2010–11

10 Closing Thoughts In this preface I have sought to share with my readers some episodes from my work at the helm of the Chinese University. I would like to take the occasion here to acknowledge the assistance and support of my senior colleagues which made my first year as Vice- Chancellor relishing and rewarding. I wish to thank Prof. Kenneth Young for his many years of excellent leadership and absolute dedication as Pro-Vice-Chancellor (PVC), and to welcome him back, upon relinquishing the heavy duties as PVC, as Master of C.W. Chu College. I am also grateful to be able to enlist the support of Prof. Xu Yangsheng and Prof. Hau Kit-tai as PVCs, Prof. Dennis Ng as Associate PVC, and Prof. Shun Kwong-loi, Prof. Andrew C.F. Chan and Prof. Rance Lee respectively as the Head/Master of New Asia, Shaw and Wu Yee Sun Colleges. I also welcome Prof. Leung Seung-ming to the post of Dean of Education and Prof. Christopher Gane to that of Dean of Law. One aspect of my work as Vice-Chancellor that I particularly enjoy is the opportunity to meet, talk, and discuss with students and colleagues, especially on informal occasions or as part of the social life on campus. This enables me to better understand how they live, what they think and what they aspire to, which will, in the long run, help me to serve them better. May I conclude these thoughts with the certain knowledge that, under the guidance of the Chairman and the Council, and with the support of our superior academics, administrators, students and alumni, CUHK can be assured of safe sailing into a splendid future. December 2011 同心協力的中大人 除了與讀者分享一些擔任中文大學一 校之長的工作點滴外，我還想藉此機 會向校內同僚致謝，全賴他們的支持 和協助，我任內第一年過得非常有意 義，值得回味。首先要感謝楊綱凱教 授，他多年來出任副校長，領導有方， 公而忘私；我很慶幸楊教授卸下副校 長職責後擔任敬文書院院長，繼續服 務中大。另外，我也要感謝徐揚生和 侯傑泰兩位教授應允出任副校長，吳 基培教授出任協理副校長，信廣來、 陳志輝、李沛良三位教授分別出任新 亞、逸夫和伍宜孫書院院長。梁湘明 和 Christopher Gane 兩位教授分別 出任教育學院和法律學院院長，我也 深慶得人。 校長職務相當繁雜，而我最享受的 工作就是與學生和同事會面，互相認 識，交談討論；尤其是在公餘或者是 校園的社交往還，可令我更了解他們 的生活、想法和抱負，長遠來說有助 我更好地為他們服務。 中文大學得到校董會主席的英明指 導，以及大學優秀的教師、行政人員、 學生和校友赤誠支持，未來的發展肯 定能更上一層樓。筆走終篇，且與各 位互勉。 2011 年 12 月 由上： 徐揚生教授 侯傑泰教授 吳基培教授 From top: Prof. Xu Yangsheng Prof. Hau Kit-tai Prof. Dennis Ng
