In this time of shared grief, the University calls on students, staff, and alumni to stand together in compassion and support. The well-being of our students and staff remains our top priority. To support those impacted, the University has arranged the following services:
• Counselling Support for Students: Students may contact the Counselling and Development Centre at 3411 7435.
• Counselling Support for Staff: Staff members may access the Employee Assistance Programme through the Hong Kong Christian Service at 2721 3939.
