To establish closer links and encourage mutual collaboration with local secondary schools, CityU for the fourth year organized the Teachers Update Course (TUC). From 19 June and from 27-29 June, TUC 2001 covered 12 sessions, including three new subjects: Chinese Language and Culture, Web Teaching and Teaching Enhancement.

It takes a lot to beat a leisurely stroll with your family or friends on a bright autumn morning when the air is cool and the sky is clear—especially if it's for a good cause. On 21 October, members of the CityU family will have the chance to do just that, when the Walkathon cum Fun Day will be held on campus. Staff, students, alumni, and their families and friends are all invited to join a 40-minute round-campus walk, organized to raise funds towards the construction of our student hostels.
