The Vice-Chancellor Graduates: Heartfelt Words from Mentor and Friend / By Sham Chun-yau

The value and philosophy of university education—how profound these questions are. How does one become a person of simplicity, nobility, and humility? Advocating for humanistic care and upholding morality often runs counter to today's market values and competitive rankings. A university's vice-chancellor, facing debates and controversies both within and beyond the campus, must find a balance amidst various tensions. Upon assuming the role of Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sham led by example, immersing himself in university life alongside teachers and students, sharing their joys and concerns. "The Vice-Chancellor Graduates" collects 57 blog posts published on the university's website during his tenure as the seventh Vice-Chancellor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. With genuine sincerity, balancing reason and emotion, he shares his reflections with successive generations of students and those who care about young people on topics such as the university's educational philosophy and social responsibility, the paths and choices of young people, the mission and challenges of a vice-chancellor, and values and perspectives on life.
