SSSS
Year Plan
Theme
Integration
Our theme in Spring Semester, “Integration”, is to promote equality in the society. As we believe that everyone is imperfect and we have to integrate those who are imperfect into this community, we want to work towards the elimination of discrimination around campus. Those events in the Spring semester, like “Shelter You”, aims to bridge the university and needy.
Poverty
In Fall Semester, the theme will be “Poverty”. In Hong Kong, the wealth gap is very large and it becomes one of the serious problems in the society. Through the events in Fall Semester, such as “20 hour Famine”, it helps to raise awareness of poverty in the campus. We hope that after these events, we can arouse the empathy of students in HKUST to those who are poor and in need.
