Joining Professor Tong and Mr Liu to officiate at the ceremony were Professor Y S Wong, Vice-President (Administration), Professor Roderick Wong, Dean (Research and Graduate Studies), Mr James Ng, Executive Director of CityU Extension, Mr Lin Bo, Vice- Director General, Administrative Office of Shenzhen High-tech Industrial Park, Mr Li Zhenping, Director of Administrative Centre of Shenzhen Virtual University Park, and Mr Hong Hailing, Vice-Director of Shenzhen Urban Planning Bureau.

CityU is preparing to invite tenders for project management and initial architectural design. The Shenzhen Outpost is expected to be completed within 24 months.

Value for Money project
Consultants from PhillipsKPA, the independent educational consultancy group based in Melbourne appointed to assist the University's Value for Money (VFM) project, met last week with 17 heads of department as well as the Convenor and members of the VFM Steering Committee.

Initial observations concerning a general review of resource allocation in the University in terms of mechanisms, policies and procedures in academic and administrative departments for achieving VFM have been presented to the Management Board and the Council's Audit Committee. These observations include, among others, that the University is fundamentally well run and that there is University-wide intention among departments to achieve quality. It was also observed that the culture of "Do more with less" is popular among administrative and academic support departments and that many examples of operational good practice in academic and non-academic departments were identified. The consultants looked into the utilization of human resources, facilities resources, and financial resources, including investment policy.

A formal report will be presented to the University towards the end of the year. The consultants will revisit CityU on 14 November to initiate the next stage of the project which will focus on VFM education. The consultants are expected to make recommendations on bridging any gaps that have been identified.

University Day cum CityU Banquet
More than 2,000 Council members, teaching and administrative staff, students, and alumni are expected to celebrate the University Day cum CityU Banquet on the evening of 21 October (Friday). Guests will include Dr Norman Leung, University Pro-Chancellor, and Sir Gordon Wu, Council Chairman. There will be special ceremonies during the evening to mark University Anniversary Day, which falls on 22 October, as well as entertainment provided by staff and students.
