The world was changing when Justice Kin Kee Pang, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션70, took his final Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s exam in 1970. Computers were about to revolutionize industries, the war in Vietnam was dividing the world, and China was in the midst of the Cultural Revolution.
The now-retired Judge of the High Court in Hong Kong credits his Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s education for helping him prepare for those changes and launching a long and successful legal career.
More than four decades after graduating, Justice Pang was part of a history-making day in Hong Kong on May 20 when he received the first Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s honorary degree conferred outside of Canada. It was a part of a special weekend of events as Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s continues to deepen its ties with alumni and partners in the Asia-Pacific region.
카지노 게임 컬렉션On that June afternoon (in 1970), I strode boldly forward into the real world. With the benefit of hindsight, it was probably out of my youthful recklessness rather than considered resolve on my part,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Justice Pang, a long-time president of the Hong Kong Branch of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Alumni Association who also served two terms on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Council. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Thank you Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s for helping me to realize my wildest dreams and for making it possible for me to stand where I am today.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The honorary degree ceremony was part of two events in Hong Kong that took place in celebration of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 175th anniversary. Many of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s senior leaders 카지노 게임 컬렉션 including Chancellor Jim Leech, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션73, Principal Daniel Woolf, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션80, Rector Cam Yung, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션17, Vice-Principal (Advancement) Tom Harris, Sc카지노 게임 컬렉션75, and Provost Benoit-Antoine Bacon 카지노 게임 컬렉션 crossed the globe to gather with alumni, students, and academic partners for a convocation-style event in the afternoon and a gala black-tie dinner in the evening.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We wanted a history-making event with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community in Hong Kong, deliberately concluding our 175th-anniversary celebrations in a location outside North America,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Principal Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Hong Kong, which became a British colony in the same year that Queen's 카지노게임사이트 was established, has one of our most active international alumni branches and was the perfect location in which to signify our increasing global engagement."
If Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s wants to continue to grow for the next 175 years, it needs to look beyond Canadian borders and build and strengthen its global ties. The Comprehensive International Plan, launched in 2015, has focused the 카지노게임사이트 on a new set of priorities, expanding relationships with global research partners and attracting the best students and faculty from around the world.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is thriving today, but we need to keep our eye on the future. And the future is global,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Provost Bacon said.

The afternoon convocation-style ceremony brought many of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s traditions to the engaged alumni. The ceremony itself took place against a photographic backdrop of Grant Hall projected on a ten-foot by 20-foot LED wall, giving alumni the feeling they were back on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s campus. Along with Justice Pang카지노 게임 컬렉션s honorary degree conferral, alumni walked across the ballroom stage to shake hands with Principal Woolf, Chancellor Leech, and Rector Yung, and reconfirm their commitment to their alma mater. The ceremony was followed by a black-tie gala dinner with a keynote address from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Professor Emeritus and Nobel Laureate Dr. Arthur B. McDonald.
The positive feedback from Hong Kong alumni is a true testament that tricolour spirit lives well beyond Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s borders.
Hong Kong Branch executive member and Chair of the Advisory Board for the event, Edmond Chan, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션97, was happy so many campus leaders from Kingston travelled 12,500 kilometres to meet with local alumni and students.
카지노 게임 컬렉션The tricolour spirit is powerful and there is no known cure for it. The response from the Hong Kong alumni community was tremendous. It was an amazing day 카지노 게임 컬렉션 both events were packed with people sharing their favourite Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s memories and reconnecting with the school. We all look forward to the next signature event in Hong Kong,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Mr. Chan.
Following events in Hong Kong, Provost Bacon and Associate Vice-Principal (International) Kathy O카지노 게임 컬렉션Brien, travelled to Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Qingdao. They signed several Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with Chinese universities on issues ranging from mental health research to collaborating on a dual degree master카지노 게임 컬렉션s program in Education. Provost Bacon and Ms. O카지노 게임 컬렉션Brien also hosted an event for alumni, students, and university partners in Shanghai on May 24.
