Hundreds of thousands of visitors packed the campus during the City University of Hong Kong (CityU) Information Day on 14 October 2017 to explore the professional education opportunities offered by CityU.
The College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences (CLASS) and its departments organised exhibition booths, admissions talks, guided tours and workshops to provide visitors with up-to-date information on academic programmes and admission requirements in CLASS. The booths and many of the talks were well-received attracting a large crowd of prospective students and their parents who crammed the venues.

Professor Xiaowei ZANG, Dean of CLASS, visited the College and the departmental booths to show his support. He talked to colleagues and helpers at the booths and thanked them for their hard work devoted to the event.
