HK$300 million from the Wu Jieh Yee Charitable Foundation (The Foundation). This marks the largest single private donation in the University's history and the largest donation ever made by the Foundation. This substantial contribution will support the new campus development in Ho Man Tin, enabling the University to nurture talents, and contribute to Hong Kong's long-term development, and promote community health and wellness.<\/p><p>The \u201cWu Jieh Yee Charitable Foundation Donation Ceremony\u201d was held on 6 January 2025, officiated by Dr Philip Wu Po-him, Secretary of the Foundation; Mr Jason Wu Shang-hong; Mrs Monica Yuen Wu Shang-chi and Mrs Tansy Tom Lau Ching-yi; Governors of the Foundation; Dr Eddy Fong Ching, HKMU Pro-Chancellor; Ir Dr Conrad Wong Tin-cheung, HKMU Council Chairman; and Prof. Paul Lam Kwan-sing, HKMU President.<\/p><p>During the ceremony, Dr Fong, Ir Dr Wong, and Prof. Lam expressed heartfelt gratitude for the Foundation's generous support. The new campus, situated at the junction of Sheung Shing Street and Fat Kwong Street, will encompass a gross floor area of approximately 30,660 square meters, equivalent to about 42% of the existing campus space. Scheduled to open in the third quarter of 2028, it will promote the development of community health and provide enhanced facilities for teaching and learning, addressing the growing demand for professional and applied programmes at HKMU.<\/p><p>For over 40 years, the Wu Jieh Yee Charitable Foundation has supported various initiatives to promote community welfare and local higher education. Since 1994, its contributions to HKMU (and its predecessors, The Open Learning Institute of Hong Kong, and The Open University of Hong Kong) have been instrumental in advancing education and fostering academic exchange. In recognition of their exemplary contributions, the University conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Business Administration on Dr Philip Wu in 1999 and an Honorary Fellowship on Mr Jason Wu in 2019.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>(Please click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkmu.edu.hk\/news\/hkmu-receives-hk300-million-donation-from-the-wu-jieh-yee-charitable-foundation-for-new-campus-development\/\">here<\/a> for a full story)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider wavo-column-gap-default elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-77f7d41 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77f7d41\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2075280c\" data-id=\"2075280c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2163a012 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"2163a012\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<script>\n\nconst h1Element = document.querySelector('.container h1');\n\n\nh1Element.innerText = 'Our Updates';  \n\n<\/script>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Fourth from right to first right) Dr Philip Wu Po-him, Secretary of the Foundation; Mr Jason Wu Shang-hong, Mrs Monica Yuen Wu Shang-chi and Mrs Tansy Tom Lau Ching-yi, Governors of the Foundation, present a cheque of HK$300 million to HKMU to support the University's development of its new campus.
