Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) held its 20th Honorary University Fellowship Conferment Ceremony on 25 September 2025. Honorary University Fellowships were conferred upon four distinguished persons, in recognition of their outstanding contributions to a wide variety of areas and their support of society.

The four recipients comprised: 

  • Professor the Hon. Chan Wing Kwong, Legislative Council Member
    and an accomplished Chinese medicine practitioner
  • Mr. Chui Wing On, Legal Consultant at Gallant
  • Ms. Ho Yuen Kei, BBS, Paralympic Double Gold Medallist in Boccia
  • Ms. So Ching, JP, Executive Director of Wong Tung & Partners Limited

Dr. the Hon. Kennedy Wong, BBS, JP, Chairman of the Council and the Court of HKBU and Chairman of the Board of Governors of the HKBU Foundation, and Professor Alex Wai, JP, President and Vice-Chancellor of HKBU, officiated at the conferment ceremony. Other members of the Council and the Court who attended the ceremony included Ir Professor Paul Poon, MH, Deputy Chairman, and Mr. Kevin Liem, Treasurer.

At the ceremony, Professor Alex Wai acknowledged that the four Honorary University Fellows represent the fields of Chinese medicine, law, sports and architecture, and that they command respect not only for their outstanding achievements, but also for their generous spirit and compassion in serving the community and those in need. They have not only excelled in their chosen paths but have also touched lives—through mentoring young people, advancing professional standards, advocating for inclusivity, and shaping a better future for Hong Kong.

A number of HKBU Foundation members and friends of the University joined this special occasion to share the joy of the recipients. They included Dr. Chiu Chun Bong, MBE, JP and Mrs. Luna Chiu; Dr. Eddie Ho; Mr. Michael Hui, BBS, MH, JP; Professor Nagar Lai; Dr. Joseph Lee, GBS, OStJ, JP; Mr. Victor Pang, MH, JP; Ms. Eileen Tsui, BBS, JP; Ms. Lisa Wong; Mr. Wong Nga Chung and Mr. Harry Yeung.
