Social Service
The nurturing of a sense of community service has been an important element in the education of the College. The College has been exploring opportunities for service-learning. In addition to fostering CC-ers’ commitment to the community, we aim to enhance students’ personal growth and prepare them to be informed, responsible citizens and civic leaders through serving the needy.
Chung Chi is the only College in CUHK that has established a Service-Learning Centre, and some of the programmes in the Centre are combined with the College General Education curriculum for senior year students.
In addition, “Seeds of Good Deeds Project Award” was established to encourage CC-ers to contribute to the betterment of society.
