To mark the forthcoming 60th anniversary in 2027 of Lingnan University’s re-establishment in Hong Kong and the 140th anniversary in 2028 of its founding in Guangzhou, the University has officially established the new Lingnan University History Exhibition Hall on its Tuen Mun campus, and held the Opening cum Lingnan Education Organization Ambassadors Appointment Ceremony on 15 May. The Exhibition Hall presents, through valuable archival materials and exhibits, the University’s development over a century, tracing its origins to its Guangzhou-based predecessor, the Christian College in China, founded in 1888 during the late Qing period. The exhibition offers students, alumni, and members of the public a profound understanding of Lingnan’s historical roots and educational ethos.
The Lingnan University History Exhibition Hall is organised along a chronological axis, showcasing key stages from the University’s founding, relocation and re-establishment to more recent developments. Exhibits include photographs from the different eras, Presidents’ reports, annual reports, correspondence, and event booklets, all illustrating Lingnan’s academic evolution and transformation across changing historical contexts.
To uphold the Lingnan spirit of “Education for Service”, 45 outstanding undergraduates have been appointed this year as Lingnan Education Organization Ambassadors in recognition of their academic excellence, leadership qualities, and commitment to community service. In addition to receiving scholarships as encouragement, the ambassadors also shoulder the mission of upholding liberal arts education, and actively serve the University, the Lingnan Education Organization and the wider community.
