Bulletin No. 1, 2019

CUHK has a relatively young workforce. Millennials (those born between 1981 and 1996, according to the Pew Research Center) account for 43% of its staff population. If only teaching staff are considered, the figure is 28%. These young members of the teaching force are often multi-talented and subscribers to innovative pedagogical philosophy and methods. They are often great researchers and great teachers at the same time. They value their interactions with students and seldom shirk or shy away from additional responsibilities and roles on and off-campus. Acculturated in a common zeitgeist with the students and sharing the same preferences for culture and social media, they are more like learned friends or even older siblings to their students, thus exemplifying CUHK’s unwavering embodiment of whole-person education in a new way. 14 Chinese University Bulletin No.1, 2019
