On Homecoming Day 2018, held on 20 October 2018, the Department hosted an open house tea reception for our old friends visiting the HKBU campus. On this joyful occasion the Department showcased our cutting-edge facilities, including the Geoinformatics Laboratory and the Physical Geography Laboratory, and shared our latest research developments and other departmental news through display posters in the Resource Centre.

Past graduates, together with their families, visited our Department and were delighted to learn of the Department’s growth and evolution over the years. They were impressed by the stunning view from the Resource Centre and had a great time in the tea reception enjoying refreshments while reuniting with classmates and meeting new buddies who graduated in different years. Our alumni friends were particularly excited to have an opportunity to reminisce about the “good old days” by exploring the graduation albums on display.

To celebrate the momentous occasion of our 40th anniversary in 2018, we prepared special souvenirs for our alumni guests. They were happy to be able to take home a reminder of their time in the Department. It was such a wonderful event, and the Department was thrilled to see that all the visitors enjoyed a pleasant afternoon with us.
