Alumni in Hong Kong met with Professor John Burland on this Ambassador evening event

"For me it was a great evening, meeting up with old friends and making new ones. The Association did a great job. Many thanks for the highlight of my visit!" Professor John Burland

The presentation was followed by an enjoyable dinner at the HKU Alumni Association Restaurant, and alumni had the opportunity to catch up with old friends. Several new alumni also attended, and joined up to the Association membership also.
