Fanny M.C. Cheung Diversity Scholarship
Recipients of Fanny M.C. Cheung Diversity Scholarship 2023
A Dialogue with Professor Fanny Cheung
CUHK records with deep gratitude the retirement of Professor Fanny M.C. CHEUNG, Choh-Ming Li Professor of Psychology at the Department of Psychology in 2020. Her devotion to education and research has earned her profound respect among her peers, colleagues, and students. She has also promoted the academic development of the University. In honor of Professor Cheung’s tremendous contributions to both academic research and advocacy work in the diverse range of areas such as mental health, cultural sensitivity, and gender equality, among others, we have established "The Fanny M.C. Cheung Diversity Scholarship" (the ‘Scholarship’ thereafter) to recognize and encourage our Psychology undergraduate students with excellent academic credentials and active involvement in community service related to mental health, diversity, and inclusivity.
We would like to thank all the alumni, colleagues, faculty members, and Prof. Fanny Cheung herself for their generous support to set up the Scholarship. It is hoped that the Scholarship will nurture our Psychology major students to become young leaders with both intellectual capacity, ethical responsibility, and compassionate mentality, crucial qualities for solving complex issues and working with others effectively in a world of diversity.
