Mentorship Programme Launching Party 18.2.2012

The launching party for the fourth Mentorship Programme co-organized by the School of Journalism and Communication and the Alumni Association was held at the Staff Canteen of the New Asia College CUHK on 18 February 2012. A dozen of mentors from the industries of newspaper, TV, radio, public relations and advertising joined the ceremony to share their experience with 2 dozens of students.

This year’s mentorship programme has won the support of many outstanding alumni. In his speech to inaugurate the programme, Prof. Anthony FUNG, Director of the School, thanked the mentors for their participation in the programme and shared his own experience of learning from his mentors. Mentors attending the party also took turns to share their experience. Mr. LO Wing Hung, CEO of the Sing Tao News Corporation Limited told the party that he planned to go back to Mainland China to work as a teacher when he graduated. However, he changed his plan after seeking opinion from a senior. Thus, he was now very willing to share his experience with mentees.

Although all mentors are busy professionals, all of them welcome and encourage mentees to contact them. The mentors also believed that mentors and mentees could learn from each other.
