Dear HKBU Foundation Members and Friends of the University,

Albert and Mabel Chan Exchange Scholarship

As you may be aware, Professor Albert Chan will retire as President and Vice-Chancellor of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) in July 2015. In recognition of his tremendous contributions to HKBU, the University will establish the “Albert and Mabel Chan Exchange Scholarship (陳新滋伉儷交流獎學金)” to support outstanding students participating in exchange studies in Mainland or overseas universities. On behalf of the University, we would like to seek your/your organisation’s kind support for this meaningful cause.

During his five-year tenure, Professor Chan has demonstrated his profound insights into the development of the University in all aspects. In 2010, he formulated Vision 2020, a comprehensive blueprint that charts HKBU’s development over the current decade. Moreover, he has cast his vision beyond the territory and explored cooperation opportunities with both Mainland and overseas institutions. He has taken the lead in a number of remarkable initiatives of the University, including the establishment of the Institute of Creativity, the Jao Tsung-I Academy of Sinology, the Partner State Key Laboratory of Environmental and Biological Analysis, and research institutes in Shenzhen, Changshu and Haimen. Professor Chan has also contributed significantly to accelerating the fundraising activities of the University to address its long-term development needs.

To reaffirm Professor Chan’s commitment to ensuring an all-round, holistic education for HKBU students, the University will establish the above Scholarship to support undergraduate students in any discipline who join the University’s Student Exchange Programme. The Programme enables students to build up their global perspectives and learning experiences which include foreign language skills, cross-cultural understanding and an appreciation of the diverse world. This Scholarship will target academically promising students who have actively participated in extracurricular activities to complement the classroom learning. Preference will be given to candidates who have proven financial needs.

If you/your organisation would like to render us your kind support, please return the donation form together with your cheque payable to “Hong Kong Baptist University Foundation” or simply contact Mrs. Lily Chan, Director of University Advancement, at 3411 7878.

We look forward to your/your organisation's continued support for the University in its endeavours to nurture talent for the benefit of the community.

Yours sincerely,

各位香港浸會大學基金成員及大學友好尊鑒：

陳新滋伉儷交流獎學金

香港浸會大學校長陳新滋教授將於本年七月榮休。為表揚他對大學的卓越貢獻，浸大將設立「陳新滋伉儷交流獎學金（Albert and Mabel Chan Exchange Scholarship）」，以資助優秀學生到內地或海外進行交流學習。

過去五年，陳校長在規劃浸大各方面的發展，高瞻遠矚。於二零一零年，大學制定了《2020年願景》的十年發展藍圖。陳校長又積極與內地及海外的機構聯繫，尋求協作的機會；他領導浸大創辦多個嶄新項目，包括成立創意研究院、饒宗頤國學院、環境與生物分析國家重點實驗室夥伴實驗室，以及位於深圳、常熟及海門的研究中心等。至於籌款工作方面，成績斐然。

為延續陳校長恪守浸大全人教育的辦學理念，大學特別設立「陳新滋伉儷交流獎學金」，以鼓勵本科生參加學生海外交流計劃，旨在擴濶他們的國際視野及豐富其學習經驗，包括外語能力及對多元文化的認識和尊重。獎學金將頒發予學業成績優異並積極參與課外活動的學生，有經濟困難者可獲優先考慮。

誠盼　閣下╱貴機構賜予考慮，撥款襄助上述獎學金。如蒙俯允，不勝感銘。敬希填妥捐款表格後連同捐款支票（抬頭請寫上「香港浸會大學基金」）擲交發展事務處。如有任何查詢，敬請賜電發展事務處總監陳鄭惠蘭女士（電話：3411-7878）。專此奉懇，佇候佳音，謹頌
崇祺！
