CityU is the second home of Cedric. He has studied and lived at the University since 2002. As a residence tutor, the vibrant hall life has impressed him the most and teaching junior students to uphold their beliefs has been his main task.
One of his most memorable experiences was to help the hall students to organise and compromise their opinions into a comprehensive proposal to the Student Residence Committee on the allocation process and scoring system for Undergraduate halls last year. Their proposal was finally adopted by the committee. I feel very pleased to see the maturing and progressing of the fellow hallmates, Cedric says.
In 2003, he took the initiative in organizing a protest against the SAR Government’s budget cut in education when he was the External Vice-President of the Student’s Union. He represented CityU students to attend the Legislative Council meeting where he met various high officials of the government to negotiate the educational funding and discussed the blue map of future education with them. The protest successfully led the government to rethink its plan in cutting the university funding as an attempt to save money.
After graduating from the College of Business with a bachelor degree and working in a bank for two years, Cedric realised he still had room for improvement and decided to pursue studying law, a subject that he had been fond of since 2003 with the hope to utilise his skills to help people in need. I believe receiving practical training at CityU will provide me a chance to compete with the best students in Hong Kong and the quintessence of becoming a trainee, says Cedric who is now a trainee solicitor.
“Studying at CityU has been an amazing experience and it transforms me into a responsible and focused person,” he says. “Being a student leader and alumni leader granted me a wonderful experience. It’s challenging yet fulfilling.”
