CALENDAR 2005–2006 Copyright ©2005 City University of Hong Kong City University of Hong Kong Postal Address: Tat Chee Avenue Kowloon Hong Kong Telephone: (852) 2788 7654 Fax: (852) 2788 1167 City University Homepage URL: http://www.cityu.edu.hk University Motto 校 訓 Officium Et Civitas The first two Chinese words “敬業” suggest the respect for one’s professional knowledge; they encompass the requirement to combine academic professionalism and career ethics as called for in the modern era. The last two words “樂群” emphasize the relationship between the individual and society; they encourage personal growth and development, and advocate group spirit and the need to care for society. Officium et Civitas is the Latin translation of the motto. Officium captures the rich connotations of the word “業” and denotes a high-minded sense of duty, including high office, with a very positive moral connotation. Civitas refers to both town/city and “union of citizens (commonwealth)”, a spirit embraced by the word “群”, which is most appropriate for City University.
