In his inaugural address, Professor Sung said, ¡§education is not only about imparting knowledge. It is about molding life. It is about helping teenagers to grow up to become a mature adult. A college, at its best, is where students start to understand themselves and to find ideals and objectives for their lives.¡¨ He hoped students not to take things for granted, and to offer help for the under-privileged. He also urged students to care more about society and the world. After assuming the position as the Head of Shaw College, one of his goals is to nurture students to become future leaders. He appealed to college trustees, teachers and staff, and most importantly students for their help, support and commitment.
