While she agreed that people come in different shapes and sizes, equal opportunities are not about erasing uniqueness but affording equal respect to all. 第八十七屆頒授學位典禮 87 th Congregation for the Conferment of Degrees 中大於11月7日舉行第八十七屆大會，頒授學士學位四千四百一十個、碩士學位六千三百六十 三個。今屆大會由段崇智校長主持。他致辭時勉勵畢業生貢獻所學，服務社群，又告誡眾人莫 為一時之挫敗懷憂喪志，也莫因一時之收成安於現狀。他最後說，快樂並非始於成功，反而成 功才是生於快樂。 CUHK held its 87 th Congregation for the Conferment of Degrees on 7 November, awarding 4,410 Bachelor’s degrees and 6,363 Master’s degrees.
