The Common Core Program strives to provide undergraduate students with a well-rounded quality education that broadens their horizons, inspires and ignites their passion for learning and empowers them for lifelong pursuit of excellence. Specifically, the goals of the Common Core Program are:

(a) Broadening horizons: to allow students to gain intellectual breadth and an appreciation of intellectual achievements across and beyond the main academic disciplines of their studies. (b) A passion for learning: to spark students’ passion for learning and enhance their higher order intellectual abilities: analysis and evaluation; judgment and critical thinking; defining and solving problems. (c) A lifelong pursuit of excellence: to provide a foundation for students’ life-long development through personal growth, preparation for future careers and opportunities to make contributions to the community.

唔知大家有冇留意過campus一個小現象？
每日陽光會由宿舍慢慢照去 Bridge Link，再一路照到Academic Building☀️
放學又沿原路照返去宿舍

原來陽光都有自己嘅節奏
相信同學都有屬於自己嘅步伐🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻
記住相信自己，呢個就係最真實嘅 Empowerment💡
Fighting!

Have you ever noticed this little moment on campus?
Every day, the sun shines from the halls, across the Bridge Link, then slowly lights up the Academic Building.
By sunset, it finds its way back🌄
Even the sun moves at its own pace.
You can too! 🏆

No rush. Trust yourself and follow your rhythm.
That’s the truest kind of self-empowerment💪🏻
