The year 2013 is a landmark for the Geography Department, which has moved to the new offices in the Academic and Administration Building at Baptist University Campus. The year 2013 is also the Department’s 35^th Anniversary as an independent department, having branched out from the then History and Geography Department in 1977-78.

In order to help our former students to become familiar with our new facilities, the Geography Department has hosted a House Warming cum 35^th Anniversary Homecoming Party for our alumni in the afternoon of 23 February 2013.

It was truly a pleasant and memorable occasion. More than 50 alumni together with their family members and friends come back to visit the Department and celebrate together. After a welcome introduction by Prof. Owen on the Department’s new development and prospects, alumni visited the Department’s new offices and facilities, as well as the beautiful roof gardens. During this gathering, alumni met with Department’s staff and fellow alumni casually, and shared their memorable moments. Alumni from different years gathered together and mingled as good friends. All the participants have enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon.
