The Office of Institutional Advancement sincerely invites all 2009 graduands to leave a small legacy and a gift of well wishes to your Alma Mater by joining the "Graduating Class Pledge Scheme". By making a one-off pledge of $500 or $800 to the University within one year from their graduation, a donation of just over HK$1 a day will, collectively with their classmates, contribute to the "CUHK Caring Alumni Fund" and establish more scholarships and exchange opportunities to deserving students, as well as enhancing student activities and facilities for the betterment of CUHK’s overall development. Nearly 900 graduating students thronged to sign up the "2009 Graduating Class Pledge Scheme" during college photo days earlier this year.

To join this meaningful Scheme, 2009 graduands who sign up at the Scheme counter on 2/F John Fulton Centre during *gown-collection period will immediately receive a uniquely designed 2009 class pin with the University emblem. What’s more, participants will receive a teddy bear wearing CUHK gown as tokens of their generosity when they donate $800 or above on the spot.

Launched since 2004, the Scheme aims to advocate new graduates to foster the tradition of giving back to their Alma Mater. Mr. Ricky Cheng, Director of the Office of Institutional Advancement, remarked that in addition to raising fund for the University annually, the spirit of the Scheme lays in sowing the "Seed of Giving" in the new graduates so as to nurture the bonding with their Alma Mater.
