Introduction


The Association was first established in 1997. Its objectives are:
  • to provide opportunities for our alumni to exchange views and share experiences;
  • to keep our alumni informed of the latest developments in our department;
  • to serve as a mechanism through which alumni can maintain close relationships with their alma mater;
  • to promote and coordinate social activities among the association’s members;
  • to encourage co-operation among the members and those of other alumni associations of the university, as well as the Federation of the Hong Kong PolyU Alumni Associations.
