We promote Hong Kong
culture and community bonding in UChicago through social and professional
events.
Since 1997, the Hong Kong
Students' Association has organised academic talks, fundraising sales, and
study breaks to promote Hong Kong and its culture to all students at the
University of Chicago. We also host prospie dinners, information sessions,
send-off parties, and alumni gatherings in Hong Kong, to ensure that
international students from Hong Kong are well-integrated and supported in
Chicago.
Most of our events are announced
and publicised on our Facebook
group. Past events have included bun sales, Chinatown dinners, send-off
parties at the China Club, and a talk by Secretary for Financial Services Dr.
KC Chan on Hong Kong's financial markets.
Tony is a third0year majoring in
Economics and Public Policy Studies. Before coming to UChicago, he went to
Chinese International School in Hong Kong.
Chak is a third-year student
majoring in Economics and minoring in Germanic Studies. Before UChicago, Chak
studied at the Singapore International School in Hong Kong and the Robert Bosch
United World College in Germany. Besides the HKSA, Chak is also involved in the
Chamber Music Organization, Chamber Music Program and Neighborhood Schools
Program. During his spare time, Chak likes to eat out at Chinatown, read
German, play foosball, and pool. Having spent his first-year trekking back and
forth between I-House and campus, Chak has decided to move closer; He now lives
in the Max Palevsky Residential Hall. He is most excited to meet new people, and looks forward to welcoming everyone onto the
UChicago campus.
Vanessa Ma is the quintessential
epitome of the college student. She is currently a Neuroscience and Public
Policy double major, but ask her 2 months later and it
will probably be something else. She's working at a venture capital firm this
summer, but during the school year does lighting and sound for all the
frat/sorority/cultural shows at Mandel Hall. In her spare time
she arranges and sings bass for a cappella, dances in her room and creates
ice-cream concoctions at the dining hall. Talk to her about RSOs, financial
aid, campus work or anything at all!
