The S.H. Ho College was established in 2006 with very generous support by the S. H. Ho Foundation. The College will accommodate 600 students on a fully residential and communal dining basis.
Mission and Vision
The mission of the new college is to foster an intimate and collegial community where students and academic staff learn, share and grow intellectually; to provide an environment for congenial college life and learning for students; to provide pastoral care and whole-person education including general education for students; to broaden and to internationalize the students' perspective through college formal and non-formal education programmes. In particular, the College aims to help students develop a profound sense of culture, high moral standards, trustworthiness and a strong sense of personal responsibility. This sets the foundation for students to live, work and serve the community in the future.
About The S. H. Ho Foundation
Dr Ho Sin-hang and the Ho family have contributed to the development of The Chinese University of Hong Kong since its inception. Through The S.H. Ho Foundation Limited, the University has benefited by way of the Ho Sin-Hang Engineering Building, student hostels at the founding Colleges, a non-residential hall for students at New Asia College, as well as the building of the Madam S.H. Ho Hostel for Medical Students and its extension at the Prince of Wales Hospital. The Foundation also donated funds towards the establishment of the C.N. Yang Visiting Professorship Fund. More recently, the Foundation has supported the setting up of two innovative and superbly-equipped research centres: the S.H. Ho Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke Centre, and the S.H. Ho Centre for Geriatrics and Gerontology. Through these highly strategic investments in the University's medical research capacity, the Foundation is ultimately making important contributions to the delivery of patient care in Hong Kong and well beyond. The Ho family has also established the Ho Sin Hang Education Endowment Fund at the Chinese University. This Fund has played a very significant part in the support of research at this University, across many disciplines. The projects span the whole range of programmes at CUHK, including such diverse areas as business studies, architecture, computer engineering, English literature and psychiatry.
