29 Apr 2006

 

The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is to hold a grand opening of the Jockey Club Student Village II on 2 May 2006 at 5:00pm. Hon. Ronald Arculli, Chairman of HK Jockey Club, will be officiating guest of the grand opening in the presence of HKU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Lap-Chee Tsui and various prominent guests.

The Jockey Club Student Village II provides an ideal setting for a true blend of East and West as it is home to 900 local and international students from 23 countries. The students demonstrated the University's tradition of service to society in the first HKU Jockey Club Student Village Walkathon that raised HK$40,000 for St. James Settlement Community Development Service last month.
