The University recently received a generous donation of HK$10 million from Dr. Liu Chak Wan, Member of the Executive Council of the Macau Special Administrative Region and Chairman of Liu’s Commerce and Industry Limited, and Mrs. May Liu in support of the University’s institutional advancement.

Dr. Liu and Mrs. Liu joined the dinner of the HKBU ‧ Tibet 5100 Golf Day 2018 earlier. At the dinner, they presented a donation cheque to the University, which was received by Professor Roland T. Chin, President and Vice-Chancellor; Mr. Yeung Chee Kong, Associate Vice-President (Engagement); and Mrs. Lily Chan, Director of University Advancement and Secretary-General of the HKBU Foundation. Professor Chin also presented a souvenir to Dr. Liu and Mrs Liu in acknowledgement of their generosity to the University.

Professor Chin praised that Dr. Liu and Mrs. Liu are excellent role models for HKBU alumni.
