The 11th S.H. Ho College Graduation Ceremony was held at Ho Sing Hang Hall on 9 November, 2023. 22 members of the College attended the ceremony to share the moments of pride of the 136 graduates.

Prof. Vincent Mok, Master of S.H. Ho College, recognised the efforts of the graduates. Over the course of their four to six years of study at the University, they experienced social unrest and the COVID-19 pandemic. Yet they managed to complete their education, which is no easy feat. He also encouraged the graduates to enter society with a positive and proactive attitude apart from continuing to learn and enhance their professional abilities. Only by doing so can they reach greater heights and go further in life.

During the ceremony, the diplomas and College souvenirs were presented to the graduates by several distinguished individuals. These included Dr. Tzu-leung Ho, Chairman of the Committee of Overseers; Prof. Vincent Mok, the College Master; Prof. Samuel Sun and Prof. Wong Wing Shing, former Masters of S.H. Ho College; as well as five College members from different faculties: Prof. Chung Pei-Chi, Dr. Andrew Yuen, Dr. Victor Lau, Prof. Dicky Tsang and Prof. Song Jing.

On behalf of his fellow graduates, Mr. Gordon Yeung, the recipient of S.H. Ho College Eminent Award, gave the valedictorian speech. He shared his valuable experience of participating in the College’s runner force. While preparing for his first marathon, he unfortunately sprained his ankle. However, he did not give up. He overcame his inner fears and physical pain, and completed the full 42.195 kilometres in the overseas race. Success and joy do not necessarily come from wealth and external validation. It is often when faced with personal limits that one can rediscover strength and value, and expand the breadth of life.
