STUDENT LIFE
Morningside College’s Student Union, led by President NORTON LEUNG (Sociology) during Term 1, represented students on College Committees and advocated on their behalf. In Spring 2019, students elected new Executive and Representative Councils, with CHRISTIE LEUNG (Laws) as the new Student Union President. Christie and her team are now preparing to welcome the incoming first-year students during Orientation Camp in August 2019. Cultural activities remained central to student life this year. The College held several student-led Music Nights to showcase the musical talent of Morningsiders. The annual photography competition received over two hundred submissions from students at all nine colleges. This year’s jurors were Professor NELSON CHEN, Director of the School of Architecture, and LALLA WARD, noted artist, actor, and author. Themes were Border, Currency and Shelter. The Nelson Chen Architectural Photography Prize, which recognizes photography that

creatively captures an architectural structure’s design and features, was awarded for the first time to S.H. Ho student PHILIP FAN. The prize recognizes Professor Chen’s service as a thoughtful judge for the photography competition over the years. To better prepare students for life outside Morningside, the College sponsored résumé, interview and entrepreneurship workshops during the spring term. We also recognized the hard work and energy of our students during Formal Hall dinner on 18 April. Spirit Awards were presented to SEYRENCE LEE (Insurance, Finance & Actuarial Analysis), EUGENE MOK (IBBA), DANIEL NG (Insurance, Finance & Actuarial Analysis) and RAKULAN SOTHINATHAN (Systems Engineering & Engineering Management). FREDERICK LO (Cell & Molecular Biology), NIDHAL MAZZA (Psychology) and JACKY YIP (Physics) received Achievement Awards. Service Awards are detailed on page 14.
