Engaging the World 9  Prof. Gordon Cheung, Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor ‘The Chinese University has been committed to cross-fertilizing the Chinese and Western academic and cultural traditions since its inception. This is done by establishing international links programmes for research collaboration, student mobility, joint teaching and faculty exchanges. Being a forerunner in student mobility programmes in the region, we strive to provide our students with an international perspective to become tomorrow’s citizens of the world while promoting Chinese culture to foreign students during their exchange at CUHK. With this fine tradition, the University will strengthen its internationalization efforts to bring China to the West and to gain international recognition for Chinese culture in an increasingly globalized world.’ Dr. Alfredo Co (2nd right), 1977–78 IASP participant, came to Hong Kong to celebrate IASP’s 20th anniversary in 1997.
