XI.     OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS

        The Office of Student Affairs strives to facilitate the total
        development, including the character and the potentials, of
        students, as individuals and as members of a community, through
        the provision of quality services and programmes, as well as
        the cultivation of a congenial yet stimulating campus environment.

        To complement the academic curriculum, through its three
        administrative sections, namely, the Activities & Amenities
        Section, the Counselling and Development Section, and the
        Placement Section, the Office provides services and organizes
        programmes and activities for students so as to achieve the
        University's goal of "whole-person education".  In addition, it
        serves as a communication bridge among the students, the
        administration, and the teaching staff.

1.	Activities and Amenities Section

        The University encourages students to organize and participate
        in activities and programmes that meet their various needs and
        promote their total-person development.  Such activities may
        take the form of lectures, forums, debates, exhibitions, music
        and cultural performance, drama, sports, films and video show,
        etc.  An electronic Student Bulletin Board is installed so as to
        provide information about the various programmes.

        The Section also manages the student lockers rental service,
        "lost-and-found" service, reservation of meeting rooms, multi-
        function rooms, and open-space podia for various activities.
        In addition, there are student common rooms and TV rooms for
        students to relax and meet their friends in an informal manner.

2.	Counselling and Development Section

        A team of trained and experienced counsellors at the Counselling
        and Development Section is ever ready to provide assistance to
        our students in realizing their potentials in their social,
        emotional, intellectual and career development.

        Group counselling, skill training workshops, seminars and displays
        are organized throughout the year to meet the needs of various
        levels, while individual counselling is available at any time
        during office hours.

3.	Placement Section

        The Placement Section, acting as a bridge among student, academic
        staff, and employers, aims to promote employment opportunities
        for students.  The services rendered by the Centre are geared
        towards facilitating students’ career development as well as
        their job search.

        Staff members are requested to refer students to the various
        Sections of the Office for respective help and services.  Besides,
        in each department, there will be a teaching staff member assigned
        to liaise with the Office of Student Affairs in the capacity as
        Student Development Advisor.
