RISE Beyond Boundaries: A Holistic Support Programme for Non-local Students in Transition and Growth

跨越界限: RISE全方位支援非本地學生的適應與成長

The Student Affairs Office recognizes that community engagement projects are vital to our students’ future development, serving as a transformative experience that goes beyond traditional academic learning. By immersing themselves in meaningful service initiatives, students cultivate a profound sense of empathy, responsibility, and civic engagement. These projects enable students to connect with diverse communities, confront real-world challenges, and actively participate in addressing societal needs.

Engaging in community service fosters essential life skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, and problem-solving. More importantly, it instills a sense of purpose and values grounded in compassion and service. Through consistent involvement in these initiatives, students not only evolve into socially responsible individuals but also gain the confidence and tools to advocate for positive change within their communities. This holistic approach ensures that upon graduation, students possess a well-rounded perspective, fully equipped to make impactful contributions to society, both locally and globally.
