This year the University of Macau (UM) conferred honorary doctorates upon four distinguished individuals, Prof. Arden Lee Bement, Jr., The Most Venerable Master Hsing Yun, Dr. Ambrose So Shu Fai and Prof. Andrew Chi-Chih Yao, in recognition of their outstanding contributions in research, culture and education. A close encounter at UM with these eminent individuals was an interview opportunity too good to miss. So we invited Prof. Andrew Yao, his wife Prof. Frances Yao, and his former teacher Prof. David Chung-Laung Liu for an interview to share their life experiences and some insightful views on higher education and success. Another person that shares his inspiring life story in this issue is Prof. Qian Tao from the Department of Mathematics, who received the sole first prize of the Macao Science and Technology Award in the Natural Science Award category. Hopefully their stories can help readers gain some new understanding about how to be a better traveller in the journey of life and the never-ending journey of scholarship. If there is anything in common that we could easily learn from their stories, it’s that the core value of higher education should not be limited to the acquisition of knowledge and skills — higher education should also promote character development, opens one’s eyes and mind, broadens horizons, and helps draw a blueprint for life. How can UM achieve these objectives through its student affairs professionals — especially after relocation to the new campus next year? We interviewed Vice Rector (Student Affairs) Prof. Haydn Chen, Dean of Students Dr. Peter Yu, as well as some participants of an earlier advanced training course in student affairs offered by the Macau Student Affairs Institute. They discussed how UM plans to help students acquire and improve soft skills and become a world-class university with characteristics, through the implementation of the “4-in-1” education model. As the largest comprehensive public university in Macao, UM takes it upon itself to fulfill its social responsibility in addition to producing outstanding graduates. This issue’s feature will give readers a better understanding of the interactions and ties between UM and the community. Also worth reading are articles in the newlylaunched “Faculty Column”, in which faculty members share their insightful views on a diverse range of issues. 張惠琴 Katrina Cheong 電話 Tel: (853) 2883 1662 傳真 Fax: (853) 2883 5467 通訊 Mail: 中國澳門氹仔徐日昇寅公馬路 澳門大學傳訊部 Communications Of!ce University of Macau Av.
