Dear students,
This semester, CEDARS-Counselling and Person Enrichment Section continues to offer various programmes to help you gain a better self-understanding, develop positive attitudes and acquire social and life skills. Detailed information about each programme or workshop is contained in this booklet. I hope you will spend some time going through it and join the ones that interest you.
I would like to highlight our feature programmes of this semester: ¡§Psychological Profile for Personal Success¡¨ and ¡§Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence¡¨.
¡§Psychological Profile for Personal Success¡¨ is to identify your character strengths, personality traits in work-related and interpersonal aspects, study habits as well as emotional needs. Personal success will be within reach if you are willing to follow the three-step requirement: First, take time to complete the required psychological assessment; second, outline a practical plan based on the assessment results; third, follow your plan through so that you will have continuous and sustainable self-improvement.
¡§Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence¡¨ is actually an integral part of our ¡§Life Investment Series¡¨ that encourages the identification and development of the six virtues and 24 character strengths. This semester we will explore the character strength of ¡§Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence¡¨. This includes a number of events such as a sharing session by Ms Mary Cheung (former Miss Hong Kong and now a versatile artist) in October 2008 and other activities to enhance your aesthetic sense and excellence-striving capacity throughout the academic year. Watch out for our announcements of these activities via bulk email.
Start to invest in yourself and join the workshops that will boost your intellectual, emotional and social proficiency. Our registration will begin on 16 September 2008. Do enrol early to secure a place.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Eugenie Leung
Director of Counselling and Person Enrichment
