Patrick’s passion for serving the University was ignited eight years after his graduation when he joined an exchange camp with alumni and students to celebrate the University’s 15th anniversary. He enjoyed sharing his experiences with the youngsters and realised the importance of alumni to the University. Since then, he has become active in alumni work. Patrick joined the CityU Alumni Association and served as its Chairman from 2002 to 2007, meeting many like-minded and devoted alumni.
In 2005, Patrick and 20 experienced and enthusiastic alumni leaders joined the Organising Committee of the Convocation and was a member of the Provisional Standing Committee. Both committees helped to lay the foundation of the Convocation with the mission to forge communication links among alumni and between alumni and the University. In 2007, Patrick was elected as the Chairman of the First Standing Committee and he led his comrades to organise a wide range of activities. Through the various alumni activities, he got the chance to mingle with youngsters and understand their thoughts.
Apart from serving the University, Patrick is also an active volunteer in community services and has been Chairman of Raleigh International Hong Kong, a charity which aims to develop young people by improving their self-confidence and teamwork.
