No.41 April 1993 CUHK Newsletter Thomas Choy Tak-cheung Dept. of Electronic Engineering The University has provided me with sufficient freedom and opportunity to pursue the kind of research I am interested in, for which I feel most grateful. I also consider myself very fortunate to have been able to work on a picturesque campus and not amidst a concrete jungle. Pang Tze-ching Buildings Office I'mrequired by my job to work with different units on special renovation, and building projects, and these pose new challenges each time. The greatest job satisfaction comes from overcoming obstacles and getting my assignments done. The charming campus of Chung Chi College is what I like best here. Jackford Hau Buildings Office I work in the General Maintenance Section and complaints are my daily bread. What has given me some Job satisfaction is that the assistance I render does not always go unappreciated by the complainants. Lim Leung United Library The University administers a generous and comprehensive staff benefits scheme, which, to me, is most attractive. David A. Gilkes Bursary I have had the privilege of working for the University for 25 years, and perhaps the greatest satisfaction Ihave had is to be involved in and see a relatively barren hillside transformed to what we see today: an active University with over 10,000 students, 110 buildings,3,600 employees, including 800 teachers . It is a truly modern local, international and research University, and it hasbeen fortunate to receive private and government funds to match. Perhaps the best aspect of the University has been its ability to cater for the individual whether he or she be a teacher or student. The reason for this is the success of the collegiate system , and the importance of increasing the number of colleges so that the present ones are kept within reasonablebounds should be one of the priorities of the future. Wong Lit-tung New Asia Library To me, a magnificent campus such as New Asia's and supervisors that are understanding and never make harsh demands on their subordinates constitute the best possible working environment. I have found that here. 7
