Mr Lui believes that, with the support of the Council, Prof S. Joe Qin will lead the University to new heights, and said “When I started studying at Lingnan College in 1978, I already felt its strong spirit of teaching and learning, the close relationship between faculty members and students, and the strong belief in its motto ‘Education for Service’. Since the 1990s, I have actively served the Lingnan Community, andtoday, Lingnan University is not only a top Asian liberal arts university, but has also been among the top three for ‘Quality Education’ worldwide for four consecutive years, and second globally in 2023. Under the leadership of President S. Joe Qin, Lingnan University is embarking on a new chapter in becoming a leading research-intensiveliberal arts university in the digital era.”
