President's Awards

The President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in Administrative Services was established to recognise and reward University staff members, individually and in teams, who demonstrate exemplary performance in areas such as administration, information technology, project management, outreach, and other support functions not directly related to teaching and research. The Award also reflects the University’s commitment to promoting people-based University governance and organisational efficiency and responsiveness, through a culture of continuous self-improvement and change, participation and consultation, trust and mutual support.

Nominations for the Award were considered by a selection panel comprising Professor Stephen CHEUNG Yan-leung (President), Dr Anissa CHAN WONG Lai-kuen (lay Council member), Mr Ian WOO Chun-tung (external member from a local higher education institution), Ms Sarah WONG Man-yee (Vice President (Administration)), Dr LEUNG Chi-fai (representative elected by and from the Academic Board), Mr Perry LOU Yiu-tong (administrative staff member appointed by the President), Professor Kenneth SIN Kuen-fung (previous recipient of the President’s Award for Outstanding Performance in Administrative Services), and Mr LEUNG Yiu-ying (student representative on the Academic Board, invited by the President).
