SCOM Talk Show ep9: President Simon Ho

“As a university president, I have to hold onto core values such as academic freedom, university autonomy, and universal values like liberty, human rights, equality and justice. A university should show support to these values and defend against possible erosion of such values.”

We are honoured to have Professor Simon Ho, President of the HSUHK, be the guest of the finale of this season’s The School of Communication’s Talk Show series. Sharing his education philosophy and expectation on our next generation, President Ho recalls his learning experience in the US and the UK and encourages youngsters to open their minds and explore opportunities beyond Hong Kong. He also reminds young people to comply with laws and respect others in pursuit of liberty. Drawing an analogy to the characters of bamboo, he wishes that the young generation will grow and learn with a modest heart and be able to stand firm in face of adversities.
