CKYC-FSS night has been held successfully

蔡繼有書院社會科學學院之夜圓滿舉行

Following the successful dinner gathering for the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) at Choi Kai Yau College in September, the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) gathering was held on the evening of November 5th. Six professors from the Faculty of Social Sciences – Prof. Xiangning Wu, Prof. Timothy A. Simpson, Prof. Hongyu Wang, Prof. Fung Kwan, Prof. Weiwen Yin, and Prof. Tieyuan Guo – had dinner with 30 students from five majors within the Faculty. Prof. Janny Leung, Master of CKYC, delivered the opening speech, welcoming and thanking the guests.

During the FSS night, students majoring in the same disciplines sat at round tables with their professors. This arrangement not only enhanced academic discussions but also fostered connections between different majors. Professors and students engaged in in-depth discussions on curriculum arrangements, learning methods, career development, and current social issues. Professors responded enthusiastically to students’ questions and provided personalized development plans based on individual strengths.

Additionally, senior students shared detailed insights into each professional course, explained learning skills and experiences, and emphasized the importance of research, internships, and other “soft skills” enhancements to the freshmen.

After the event, participants expressed that the dinner was highly beneficial. Many freshmen mentioned that they now have a clearer understanding of their future learning and development plans. The experiences shared by professors and senior students helped alleviate the confusion and anxiety they felt upon entering the University.

自9月份蔡繼有書院首場工商管理學院（FBA）聚會順利舉辦之後，11月5日晚上的社會科學學院（FSS）聚會也如期舉行。六位來自社會科學學院的教授——吳湘寧教授、Timothy A. Simpson教授、王紅宇教授、關鋒教授、尹偉文教授以及郭鐵元教授——與來自社會科學學院五個專業的30名院生共進晚餐。書院院長梁美兒教授致開幕詞，對到訪的來賓表示歡迎和衷心的感謝。

晚宴中，相近或類似學科專業的同學與其教授一同被安排在了一張圓桌，這種精心的設計不僅增進了學術化的話題交流，而且促成了學科之間的融合思辨。教授與同學們一起，圍繞著課程安排、學習方法、職業發展以及當今社會局勢和現象展開了深入的討論。教授們熱情地對同學們的問題作出回應，並根據同學的個人優勢給予個性化的發展方案。

與此同時，高年級學長學姐作為「引路人」，深入到每一節專業課程的具體内容，細緻地為學弟學妹講解學習技巧和心得體會，也積極向新生普及科研、實習以及其他「軟實力」背景提升的重要性。

活動結束後，與會者紛紛表示此次晚宴收穫頗豐。不少新生表示對未來的學習和發展規劃有了更清晰的認知，教授和專業學長學姐所傳授的經驗也成爲了他們擺脫入學時迷茫焦慮的良好助力。
