Looking back on the extraordinary 70 years of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), the HKBU Foundation (the Foundation) wishes to extend its deepest gratitude to all those partners who have journeyed alongside the University through its challenges and triumphs. Your generosity shines like warm beams of light, constantly illuminating each step made in HKBU’s growth and transformation.

In celebration of the University’s 70th anniversary, the Foundation is proud to present a series of donor stories that chronicle the profound bonds and significant contributions made by HKBU’s esteemed benefactors. The story of this issue is dedicated to the late Dr. Ho Sin Hang, OBE, and his family.

Dr. Ho Sin Hang was a distinguished entrepreneur and philanthropist. As a co-founder of Hang Seng Bank, he spearheaded the formulation of the Hang Seng Index, establishing Hong Kong’s first systematic stock market index. A steadfast supporter of Hong Kong Baptist College since the 1970s, Dr. Ho generously funded the institution’s development, making pivotal contributions to the construction of the Wai Hang Sports Centre and the David C. Lam Building. The naming of the Ho Sin Hang Campus stands as a heartfelt tribute to the enduring generosity of both Dr. Ho and The S.H. Ho Foundation Limited.

Carrying forward his spirit of benevolence, Dr. Ho’s descendants have continued to support HKBU through The S.H. Ho Foundation. Their ongoing contributions to the University’s strategic development and research initiatives have empowered the academic community and inspired future generations to pursue excellence and broaden their horizons.
