They turned out to be alumni of the University from the 1960s and are now retired. We spent an hour of a beautiful Saturday afternoon strolling through the campus exchanging stories from their time and mine. It was remarkable how two worlds merged into one that afternoon, as they would tell me what each part of the university used to be like and what took place at each location; and I would tell them how it has changed. It was like meeting old friends at a familiar location and reminiscing about the good old days.” Peter Ngan, Year 3, BEng(EComE)

“Every tour is a new challenge. You will find people from different backgrounds in one tour. So it is always a challenging task to trim the tour to suit everyone in the group. This is not easy, but it comes with great satisfaction. I can still remember the big smiles on participants in my first tour. I am not joking, I have led a group of 50 plus visitors!” Jacqueline Lam, Year 3, Chinese Medicine
