Bulletin Number Four 1983

Students and Alumni Nearly all students of the University come from local Chinese and Anglo- Chinese schools, with more males than females. More than half of them are from the middle or lower middle class. Students from low-income families rely on grants and interest-free loans provided by Government, the University and its Colleges. The University has, over these twenty years, produced numerous promising young men and women who are working in almost all sectors of the society. Their performance is particularly outstanding in certain fields, such as commerce, banking and finance, education, telecommunication engineering and marketing services, social work and mass media, and music and arts. In recent years, a growing number of graduates have embarked on careers abroad, working in America and Western Europe, and in developing countries as management staff in a variety of industries. In September 1978, The Federation of Alumni Association of The Chinese University of Hong Kong was formally established, comprising the Alumni Associations of Chung Chi College, New Asia College, United College, Lingnan Institute of Business Administration, and the School of Education. The Federation aims at fostering fellowship and strengthening communication among graduates of the University, promoting their welfare, and assisting in the development of the University. 74
