Activities range from informal ad-hoc floor gatherings, to discussion fora, educational seminars, lectures by distinguished speakers, cultural/arts events, festive celebrations, community service, as well as overseas service-learning and study trips. Students are strongly encouraged to take the initiative to propose and organize activities.
