About Us

Who We Are

The world is becoming a close global village. Students at The University of Hong Kong are the privileged few. Many students are concerned about the social and global challenges and what they can do to make a difference.

HKU promotes a whole person education approach which combines learning in classroom and outside. CEDARS is committed to working with the faculties to provide educational opportunities for students outside classrooms. The educational aims of HKU are to foster students' ability in intercultural understanding, commitment to global citizenship, and preparing them to be leaders and advocates for improvements of human conditions.

The CEDARS-Student Development Section is here to support students in realising these aspirations. Specifically, our scope of activities / services covers:

  • Building a University Culture of Diversity
  • Global Citizenship
  • Careers Education
  • Leadership Development
  • Provision of Educational Funding Sources
  • Service Learning

Throughout the academic year, we run a wide range of activities and programmes to expose students to these messages. We also run an internet radio Cyber Campus: U-Radio which serves as an open and interactive forum for students of HKU to achieve learning and growth through debates and sharing, raising questions and finding solutions on issues of their interests, be they related to the University, Hong Kong, China, and the global community as a whole.

Please pay heed to our activities and our radio programmes. Wish that your experience in HKU would be a life-inspiring one.
