College Established Alumni Fundraising Task Force to Advance Alumni Network and Development Resources

[November 2022 issue]

Established in 1949, the College has been carrying on the mission of our College Founders. With humanity as its basis, the College aims to facilitate cultural exchanges between East and West, and to nurture a moral, intellectual and patriotic new generation. In the last decade, we advanced our mission in expanding many projects in promoting Chinese culture and nourishing students. We established a more solid foundation, however, our efforts were made with very limited resources.

In order to continue our education mission, we need to advance our resources, to sustain our development in the long run. The College established an Alumni Fundraising Task Force, which consists of alumni of different decades, to act as a strategical think tank. The members are alumni graduated from the 60s to the 00s, while our College trustees are also included.

The Task Force’s objectives are:

To strengthen the relationship between alumni around the globe and the College; and to develop new networks
To strengthen the sense of belonging of New Asians; to carry forward the New Asia Spirit together; to sustain the emotional attachment of New Asians; and to nourish the next generation of New Asians
To promote fundraising in order to garner sustainable support for College development
To advise other development strategies

The Task Force is chaired by Prof. Chong Tai-leung Terence, Associate Head of the College. Prof. Hector Sun-On Chan, College Head, and College staffs are members as well. The Task Force is further divided into two working groups:

Alumni relation, promotion and activity group
Individual alumni, social elite and institution liaison group

The Task Force is working on a series of fundraising strategies, including research and report of stories of New Asia alumni, teachers and students, in a bid to strengthen the sense of belonging of New Asians; to engage social elites and institutions for collaboration; and to elicit donation from alumni. The Task Force aims at strengthening and expanding the alumni network, as well as opening up resources for the College, in order to celebrate our 75^th Anniversary in 2024.

New Asia Forward Fund

The Task Force will introduce a fundraising campaign named “New Asia Forward Fund”, aiming at setting up stable resources for supporting our projects on promoting Chinese Culture and nourishing students. Our development portfolio includes:

To strengthen our Chinese Culture education to New Asia students as well as the public
To increase students’ opportunities of oversea exchanges, internships and social services; and to enhance our support to students on mental health education and counselling
To step up scholarships, bursaries and financial assistance to students
To strengthen our outreach projects which aim at promoting Chinese culture to secondary and primary school students
To enhance the facilities of the campus

We hope our alumni will support the “New Asia Forward Fund” fundraising campaign. Together we advance our development and education mission, and carry on the New Asia Spirit.
