Each gift comes with a story.
And a dream.

The convergence of academic ambition and
selfless generosity will lead to a better tomorrow
for all mankind.

An "Endowed Professorship" is one of the most significant awards bestowed upon eminent academics within the University. The generous donation will become a perpetual endowment in a designated discipline, as the Endowed Professor upholds a proud tradition of excellence.

On April 14, 2008, the University celebrated the inauguration of eight new Endowed Professorships*.

*A total of 33 Endowed Professorships have been established at HKU since 2005.
