The Class of 1955 donated a flagpole to the College.
Chung Chi College Alumni Association (CCCAA) was founded in 1955 by the first graduating class of the College, with the objective of fostering connections between alumni and their alma mater. In its formative years, the Alumni Association set up several divisions to care for the different needs of alumni. The recreation division was responsible for planning alumni gathering activities. The publication division published journals regularly to keep graduates informed about their alma mater and other alumni. The welfare division helped alumni solve employment, financial and further education matters, while the religious division shared alumni’s faith testimonies.
CCCAA has been operating for nearly 70 years and boasts over 29,000 members across the globe. In addition to Hong Kong, several branches have been established in Northern California, Southern California and the Eastern United States; Ontario and Vancouver in Canada; and Sabah in Malaysia. It unites Chung Chi-ers from different generations, at home and abroad, through a range of activities including Alumni Day, class reunions, dinner lectures, and alumni visits.
The Alumni Association has spared no effort in supporting the development of Chung Chi. Since 1956, two ex-officio representatives have participated in the College’s Board of Trustees. CCCAA also plays an active role in contributing to College development, such as donating the “Chung Chi Alumni Scholarship for Excellence” and the “Alumni Association Distinguished Sportsman/Sportswoman of the Year Award”. It co-organizes the “Mentor Programme” with the College, which enables mentors to share their work and life experiences with students. In recent years, CCCAA has encouraged alumni to donate to the construction of the Chung Chi Student Development Complex and is currently striving for “Project E” redevelopment fundraising. Generations of alumni have dedicated themselves to their alma mater, embodying “sincere unity” among their peers and exercising the Chung Chi spirit of “cooperation and mutual assistance”.
