Alumni Highlights: Danny Au Shares Life Wisdom Through Service

2025-10-31

As the 15th National Games approaches, Hong Kong Shue Yan University is proud to have 37 participants serving as “group volunteers” for the Basketball (Men’s U22) Competition. This diverse team includes university management, staff, students, and alumni, all working together to support the event.

Among them is Sociology alumnus Danny Au (Class of 1978), who returned to his alma mater to share his volunteer experiences. For Danny, it is a great honor to represent Shue Yan as a group volunteer. He looks forward to collaborating with fellow alumni and engaging with people from various cultural backgrounds — an experience he believes will be eye-opening. He encourages students to participate in volunteer work in their free time, not only to build confidence but also to discover and apply their strengths. Such experiences, he believes, help prepare students for careers anywhere and embody the enduring spirit of the university’s motto “Cultivating virtues of benevolence; broadening horizon and knowledge,” as established by founders Dr Henry Hu and Dr Chung Chi-yung.
