With Christmas around the corner, the eight university heads were joined by over 50 members of the carolling team of CUHK Chung Chi College who sang carols at the Lodge to celebrate the festive season. ‘Go, tell it on the campus – campus carolling’ is organised by the Chaplain’s Office, the Student Fellowship, and the Hostel Cell Groups of Chung Chi College. Each year, the carolling team visits various places on the CUHK campus, including the Vice-Chancellor’s Lodge and the Colleges, bringing tidings of comfort and joy to the University community.
