Newly released videos “Big Five in University”

This short video is produced by the uBuddies 2011 and focuses on 5 major concerns of university students - hostel living, committee work, dating,

studies and part-time employment. Its aim is to encourage students to reflect on their personal goals and definition of a truly meaningful and

productive university life.

“Our Growth”

The video is produced by the Student Counselling and Development Service of the Office of Student Affairs. It documents the journey of personal

growth undertaken by the first 2 cohorts of uBuddies, starting from their oath-taking, training to application of their acquired skills and knowledge as

well as contribution to the promotion of a caring culture in CUHK.

Both videos can be viewed at the webpage of the Student Counselling and Development Service of the Office of Student Affairs
