Annual Report 2013–14

University Development During the year under review, the Chinese University reached a significant number of landmarks in the course of its development. Some of these were the end-results of long-mooted projects, while others took a relatively shorter time to come to fruition. All were carefully planned to support and reinforce teaching and research, and to meet needs and aspirations currently prevalent in the academic world and the community at large. The establishment of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) was formally approved by the Ministry of Education under the State Council in March 2014, and the appointment of University Officers, the worldwide search for teachers of the highest quality, and the recruitment of students from various provinces, all proceeded like clockwork immediately afterwards on account of the excellent and meticulous advance planning that had taken years to accomplish. 大學發展 在本年度，中大樹立了多個重要的發展 里程碑。有些是醞釀已久終於開花結果 的項目，另一些則是在較短時間內取得 的成就。全都是精心策劃，以支援和 加強教學和研究，並滿足當今學術界 和社會的需要，配合其期望。 在2014年3月，國務院轄下的教育部正 式批准設立香港中文大學（深圳）， 中大（深圳）隨即延聘大學主管人員， 在全球羅致優秀老師，在全國各省招 生。由於有此前多年的細緻規劃為基 礎，這些工作全都進行得有條不紊。 一如預期， 中大（深圳）所有支援設 施和服務都一一就緒，並且運作暢順， 很快迎來首批新生。 5
