Tung Wah College (TWC) held its 13th Graduation Ceremony at the MacPherson Stadium yesterday (19 November 2025). 977 graduates were conferred with academic awards ranging from Bachelor Degree to Higher Diploma, Diploma and Certificate in various disciplines. The Ceremony was officiated by Mr. Orlando Ho Yau Kai, Chairman of Tung Wah Group of Hospitals (TWGHs) Board of Directors 2025/2026 cum Board of Governors of TWC.
Speaking at the Ceremony, the Guest of Honour, Dr. the Honourable Elsie Leung Oi Sie, GBM, JP, commended TWC for its unique position in Hong Kong’s higher education landscape and its strong academic reputation in medical and healthcare education. Dr. Leung said, “I am glad to see TWC nurturing not only competent professionals but also socially and globally responsible citizens who uphold integrity, compassion, and a strong commitment to community service.”
Addressing the evolving age of AI, Dr. Leung reminded graduates that lifelong learning and adaptability are essential for future success, “In a world where machines can perform many tasks, we must preserve what makes us human—our creativity, curiosity, empathy, and ability to connect.” She expressed hope that graduates would always remember their responsibility to the community and the country, and encouraged them to leverage the unique strengths offered by the “One Country, Two Systems” framework to contribute to the high-quality development of our country.
Professor Sally Chan, President of TWC, congratulated the graduates on their achievements and expressed gratitude to their teachers and parents for their tireless efforts and unwavering support. As the College celebrating its 15th anniversary, she said, “Our theme “Leap into Dreams · Co-create a New Journey”, could not be more fitting for both the College and every graduate here today. As you embark on the next chapter of your lives, the College will also move towards an exciting transition to university status.”
Referring to a story about a nursing student whose simple gesture brought immense comfort to patients, Professor Chan encouraged the graduates to make a difference with small acts of kindness, serve with dedication, embrace change and pursue every opportunity ahead with the knowledge and skills gained from TWC.
At the Ceremony, four graduates shared their learning journeys at TWC. Among them, Mr. Chan Cheuk Hei, a graduate of the Bachelor of Health Information and Services Management (Honours), reflected on his two years at the College as a senior-entry student, “Through this programme, we gained essential knowledge in healthcare, and more importantly, developed innovative thinking to solve problems.” He spoke about his internship at the Hospital Authority, which provided hands-on experience and deeper insight into healthcare operations. His participation in a study tour to Australia and the opportunity to present his thesis at an international conference in Singapore enriched his academic perspective and inspired his future career goals.
Moreover, Ms. Heidi Law, a graduate of the Bachelor of Health Science (Honours) in Nursing, expressed heartfelt gratitude to her teachers, “Thank you for seeing potential in us even when we doubted ourselves. Your belief became our strength.” She recalled attending the Sigma International Nursing Research Congress, where she connected with over 800 nurse researchers, students, clinicians, and leaders committed to advancing evidence-based research. Heidi shared her aspiration to be an evidence-based nurse who cares holistically with both skill and heart, “The world may measure us by rankings, but patients measure us by the care we provide.”
