Distinguished Alumni-in-Residence Programme

The Distinguished Alumni-in-Residence Programme (DARP), as initiated by Vice Chancellor Prof. Rocky Tuan in 2018,  provides a precious opportunity for the University's outstanding alumni to return to alma mater to share their knowledge, expertise and insight with students, alumni (particularly young members), faculty and administrators. Each year, one to three distinguished alumni, either based locally or across the globe, will be invited to return to campus for three to five days and host a series of activities related to their fields and professions, such as master classes, seminars, sharing, social gatherings and outreach activities. Through this programme, the invited alumnus/alumna can join the alma mater to continue to live the mission and vision of the University by inspiring the CUHK community in various aspects and enriching the intellectual atmosphere as well as the learning experience in the campus. This new initiative also helps serve to strengthen the bonding among members of the CUHK family.

This year, with the theme “Boundless for Infinity”, we are honoured to have alumna Stephanie Hung (1991 / New Asia College / Business Administration), Chief Information Officer and Director General of Information Technology Department, Asian Development Bank (ADB), to share with us her profound global experience and valuable insights. Prior to joining the ADB, she was the Senior Vice President of ST Engineering, one of Singapore's largest defense and technology engineering companies. There are as many as seven programmes over 3 days, including guest lectures, sharing sessions and mentorship programme.
