The launching ceremony was held on 23 February on United College campus. Mr. Shum Choi-sang (7th left) , donor of the Mr. Shum Wai Yau Moral Education Scheme and chairman of the College Board of Trustees, spoke on the occasion and thanked the volunteers for serving the community and putting into practice the College motto. It is also hoped that students will be inspired and be zealous to contribute to the betterment of society. United College members offering a free ride (volunteers) will display a ‘United College Hitchoffer‘ up or down signage at the bottom left-hand corner of the windscreen. Volunteers decide the pickup points, which are generally near school bus stops. The drop-off points are to be agreed between volunteers and passengers before the ride, but the former’s preferences should prevail. Suggested pickup/drop-off points are Tsang Shiu Tim Building, Benjamin Franklin Centre, John Fulton Centre, Ho Tim Building, and the University MTR Station. 三通後兩岸四地的新形勢 What Happens after Direct Transport Links? • 聯 合書院2010年周年研討會於3月5日假西部綜合 教學大樓舉行，主題為「三通後兩岸四地的新形 勢」，邀得（ 右起 ）《亞洲周刊》總編輯邱立本先生、一國 兩制研究中心總裁張志剛先生及亞太台商聯合總會總會 長潘漢唐先生為嘉賓講者，並與逾四百名出席的師生及 校友熱烈討論。書院資深導師黃鉅鴻教授（ 左一 ）為大會 主持。 T he 2010 Annual Workshop of United College was held on 5 March at the Teaching Complex at Western Campus.
