Last Friday 24 February 2012 the presentation of the Outstanding Student Awards for Semester A 2011/12 was held at the Chinese Civilisation Centre. At the end of every semester teachers nominate students who excel in their studies of Chinese civilisation, based on the results of classroom participation, online discussion and final papers.
In his speech Professor Cheng Pei-kai, Director of the Chinese Civilisation Centre, congratulated the winners of the award and praised them for their accomplishment because the standard for nomination is set very high and only a small percentage of students has the chance to get the award. Professor Cheng also emphasized that, whether students like it or not, the study of Chinese civilisation is very important for their development.
Usually all the recipients are Chinese students of Chinese courses, but now for the first time in the history of the award, a student from the English session was among the winners. Miss Shirin Leung [see photo], a law student, was praised for her active participation in class and the high academic quality of her final paper.
For more details, please see the CCIV website.

This afternoon the ceremony for the outstanding student awards (2010/11 Semester B and Summer Course) was held at the Chinese Civilization Centre. The awards were presented by Professor Zhou Zhenhe and Professor Cheng Pei-kai. In his speech Professor Cheng Pei-kai stressed that the recipients of this award represent the top students in Chinese civilization.
Apart from the certificates, students also received a copy of the catalogue of the works by renowned calligrapher Zhang Sen. Professor Cheng expressed hope that the art of calligraphy would encourage the students to reflect on their own handwriting especially in this electronic age. The example that Professor Cheng gave was those with beautiful handwriting will have an edge: you can impress your girl or boyfriend with a personal handwritten message.
The list of names of students who won the awards can be found on the website of the CCIV (in Chinese).
