Lee Shau Kee Hall
| |||||||||||||||||||
Lee Shau Kee Hall (LSKH) focuses on embracing diversity and creating a culturally broad living environment that fosters interactions among students with different views and multicultural backgrounds. Similar to the other halls, one third of our residents are non-locals, who come from different countries. To allow local and non-local hallmates to mix well with each other, we would assign non-local roommates with local freshmen and organize activities such as International Night to enhance communication between local and non-local hallmates. LSKH respects and values the opinions, interests and cultures of all hallmates. Additionally, we welcome students from different academic disciplines, which allows our hall to be one of the most diverse at the University. This mixture of nationalities and study disciplines provides our Hall Residents with a rich canvas of experiences from which to learn and to foster their personal developments. In Lee Shau Kee Hall, we focus on personal development through hall education by offering various opportunities for students to get involved in cultural teams, sports teams and organizing committees of hall activities. Based on their interests and time schedules, hallmates are encouraged to join any hall activities, but it is not compulsory. The freedom of choice and the diversity of culture are our core values. Differences in strengths, ideas, knowledge and experiences not only establish mutual learning, but also unchain our creativity. Therefore, intellectual exchange can be easily experienced and developed in our hall. We offer a friendly and home-like environment to our hallmates. The relationship between each hallmate goes beyond just living together; instead we treat each other as close friends and family. We even extend our friendship beyond hall and always welcome our alumni to contribute to the Hall as mentors after they graduate. As the University strives for greater internationalization, there will be be an increasing number of students with different nationalities and multi-cultural backgrounds joining us. Most of the students, both local and non-local, reside in halls or colleges at the University at one time or the other and halls of residence form part of the proud tradition of the University. Over the years, hall education has played an important role in the whole-person education model that the University pursues. Like other halls/colleges at the University, Lee Shau Kee Hall is much more than just a place for living, it is also a place where one can learn and grow. We believe that each hall has its own characteristics and Lee Shau Kee Hall offers a unique experience to our hallmates. |
