CityU CSCI Mentorship Programme Kick-Off Ceremony of 2025-26

I was honor to be mentor in the College of Science (CSCI) Mentorship Programme again and its Kick-Off Ceremony 2025-26 was held on 17^th Jan 2026. I would like to share my experience to mentees.

Two mentees Ms. Carol Yuan (Maths) and Ms. Stephanie Tsang (Phyics) were assigned to me in this time. (Left is Mr. Tim Chan. We both mentors and meet again)

Then we took a photo with Prof. Daniel Ho (Associate Dean, College of Science) for memory.

In the beginning, Prof. Daniel Ho (Associate Dean (Undergraduate Education), CSCI) gave welcome speech to us.

Then he introduced the mentorship programme.

He reviewed last year's events, two of which I also participated in.

And then he also introduced the undergraduate programmes under College of Science. 

Lastly, Prof. Ho briefed the career prospects of our graduates.

One of programmes named “Global Research Enrichment and Technopreneurship (GREAT)” which focused on R&D and starting business.

After that we played ice-breaking game together. And we took a group photo.

All mentors and students took a group photo in front of the banner.

During the sharing session, we had discussions with different teams and enjoyed tea here.

Before leaving, I took a photo with the mentees.

I met Mr. Terry Chen (Founder & Chairman, Hong Kong eCommerce Supply Chain Association), who was also the mentor of this programme. He had studied applied biology at CityU 30 years ago.

CityU CSCI Mentorship Programme – Meeting with mentees

 I was great to be mentor under the College of Science (CSCI) Mentorship Programme since 2019. My two mentees Mr. DENG Ruiqi (Daniel) and Mr. ZHANG Zhihan (Eric) invited me to discuss about their further development. We met in library and took a photo in front of banner for graduation 2025. They are now studying year 2.

The City Chinese Restaurant and Faculty Lounge were packed with people, as many families came to CityU to take graduation photos for their children. Therefore, we chose a lesser-known student canteen in AC2.

They studied applied mathematics and joined the program that 2 years in CityU and another 2 years in UK. After four years, they would get the double degree from CityU and UK university, respectively. They would like to further study (PhD). I suggested to maintain good GPA (had better first honor) and find the right professor for their final year project (FYP) as well as joining the publication with FYP supervisor. They needed to understand themselves and I proposed them to analyze their personal SWOT.
