At the President's house

The President , Professor CHEN Kwan-yiu, Edward, has his house ( I think he only lives there half the time ) on the campus by the Southern Residence. After, ou rlast night gathring on campus, we decided to end the story of Lingnan by a lunch with the President where he gladly repeated his message.



Their mission is to provide education of the highest quality; and their vision is to become an internationally-renowned institution, inaugurating a new era of liberal arts education in the region. The numbers of partnerships have increased and he was pleased to see all of us French exchange students to his house with other exchange students from Mainland China or the USA.



In the coming few years, Lingnan's plan is to pool resources and raise funds for the expansion of their academic programmes to include integrated, environmental and behavioural sciences, creative media and fine arts. They want to be able to further develop their close student-staff relationship, and to further enhance the students' campus life, community service and international exchange programmes. Professor WIlliam Lee who is also in charge of the internatinal affairs of school has always been there and is extremely friendly and easy to approach in case there is a problem. The staff and the number of students makes it actually easier for people to interact which is nice when you live on campus and you are far away from home.
