News in Brief  45  Activities and Events Seven Hundred Students Participate in Social Service Programme In the 2013–14 academic year and this past summer, around 700 CUHK students initiated or participated in over 30 student-led social service projects supported by the I • CARE Social Service Programme. Both the numbers of participants and service projects have doubled over the previous year. Since its launch in 2011, the programme has extended its aid to more than 20,000 disadvantaged individuals. The students have also shown higher spontaneity in observing the needs of the unprivileged and developed solutions or service plans with higher originality and a wider perspective.  Sculpture Unveiled in Golden Jubilee Alumni Garden The unveiling ceremony of the sculpture ‘The Integration’ was held on 20 September at the Golden Jubilee Alumni Garden. Designed and crafted by renowned contemporary sculptor Prof. Wu Weishan, the sculpture was made of bronze and stainless steel to symbolize the founding mission of CUHK: to combine tradition with modernity, and to bring together China and the West. Installed at the centre of the garden, the three-metre tall sculpture takes the form of a young man on one side and an old man on the other, symbolizing the inheritance of knowledge and the spirit of humanity at CUHK.
