Over 1,500 graduating students gathered to sign up for the "2008 Graduating Class Pledge Scheme" and made a pledge to donate HK$500 or $800 to the University within two years after graduation. Their overwhelming response has increased donations to the University by nearly 1 million HK dollars.

Since its launch in 2004, nearly 8000 graduates have joined the "Graduating Class Pledge Scheme" which aims to encourage new graduates to foster the tradition of giving back to their Alma Mater. It is really encouraging to see so many new graduates joining the Scheme every year. This year more than 1,500 graduates have already signed up. Mr. Ricky Cheng, Director of the Office of Institutional Advancement, remarked that not only does the Scheme help to raise funds for the University every year, it also sows the "Seed of Giving" in the new graduates thus strengthening their bond with their Alma Mater. He was grateful to all the graduates who have shown their commitment to the Scheme.

Graduating students who pledge to donate HK$500 or HK$800 within two years after graduation will receive souvenir pins, with the University's emblem and year of graduation engraved on them as tokens of their commitment.
