To further enhance the appeal of Hong Kong’s higher education sector and enrich student learning experiences, while at the same time aligning with the Central Government’s goal of deepening international exchange and collaboration, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has approved a donation of over HK$203 million to The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) to support part of the construction costs for a new undergraduate residence at its Clear Water Bay campus. The new residence, named the Jockey Club i-Village, provided over 1,500 hostel places and is expected to help attract more overseas students and promote international exchange. Speaking at the ceremony, Lester Huang said, “This purpose-built facility is the realisation of a vision six years in-the-making, brought to life through the collaboration of the HKSAR Government, The Trust and HKUST. Collectively we aim to empower young people to pursue their passions and, in doing so, nurture leaders who can propel Hong Kong’s economic development and sustain the prosperity of our nation.” He added that it is the fourth and largest residential project the Club has part-funded at the university, and that the Club is honoured to have supported many groundbreaking initiatives at HKUST over the years, reflecting the Club’s long-term commitment to and investment in human capital and education. 🔗 Explore more: https://lnkd.in/gA3TykX6 #HKJC #HKJCCharitiesTrust
