Introduction
In alignment with Hong Kong Baptist University’s commitment to Whole Person Education, the Office of Student Affairs is honoured to host a High Table Dinner, offering students a distinguished opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue within a refined and intellectually stimulating setting.
This year, we are privileged to welcome students from Beijing Normal – Hong Kong Baptist University, who will join their peers at Hong Kong Baptist University in an evening of cross-institutional exchange, fostering mutual understanding and shared aspirations.
The occasion will convene approximately 40 distinguished guests, including eminent leaders from the commercial sector and the wider community. Esteemed speakers will share their reflections on professional journeys, societal engagement, and personal growth, providing students with invaluable insights into life beyond the university.
Through this solemn and enriching experience, students will be inspired to broaden their horizons, cultivate critical perspectives, and deepen their sense of purpose in personal development, career planning, and contribution to society, hallmarks of a truly whole person education.
