HKUST 20th Anniversary Exhibition – “Our Miracle Continues: A Visual Presentation”
Issue No. 80 (April 2011)
Have you seen this logo on campus?
Whether it is a conference, a distinguished lecture or a concert you attend, you are going to see this logo. All these programs are celebratory events organized by various departments and offices for the University’s 20th Anniversary. More programs such as exhibitions, parade, alumni reunion, TV broadcasting, etc. are coming. For details of the yearlong celebration, you may check http://20a.ust.hk.
The Library is also participating in this festive celebration and is planning to share with all of you the precious collection of the University Archives. Since the opening of the University, the Library has been actively collecting materials relating to the development of the University. Besides important documents and publications, thousands of pictures, slides and video recordings are kept in the University Archives. There are memorable items such as commemorative first day covers, MTR stored value tickets and phonecards among those archival documents and boxes. All these will be on display in a special Library exhibition to be launched in May.
The exhibits will not be notes80-2-imglimited to old items. In fact, it will be a visual journey showing how UST has achieved excellence over the past 20 years — from a rocky barracks site evolving into a picturesque world class university recognized as one of the world’s top 50 universities. The exhibition consists of different elements. There will be more than 30 panels which highlight major events, achievements and the development of the University. A projector will be set up to show videos of distinguished lectures by prominent scientists or social leaders.
Visitors will be welcome to leave a greeting message which will be stored and projected onto a message board via an interactive program. You will also see a replica of the contents of the time capsule which was placed under the foundation stone in 1989 and is scheduled to be opened in 2039.
The Library also gives thanks for the support of our colleagues who have responded to our early appeal (http://library.hkust.edu.hk/archives/20th-appeal.html) and lent us their treasures which will further enrich our exhibition. This exhibition is a collective memory of our community. If you find anything worth sharing, don’t hesitate to contact us at 2358-6784 or email lbarsc@ust.hk.
The slogans of our University evolve from “Hands on the present and eyes for the future 立足現實 著眼未來” to “HKUST Soars 創新科技 振翅高飛” to “Our miracle continues 創 · 新傳奇” This miracle has been made possible by the effort you have contributed in the past 20 years and your further support will make this miracle continue.
