Nearly 70 alumni of the College got together for the second annual alumni reunion of UOW College Hong Kong on 14 January 2023. Graduates from years ago were excited to learn about the transformation of the College from the former Community College of City University into a full-fledged member of the University of Wollongong. They also got an update on the latest progress of our new campus at Tai Wai, which will become operational in the summer of 2023. Alumni met with current teachers and reminisced about their times at the College, while the achievements of four special alumni were recognized with Outstanding Alumni Awards presented by Associate Deans of the faculties:
