The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) organised the “2025 USJ Clubs Dinner” at the Student Lounge on the 15th of May, 2025. This event brought together participants from USJ’s student association and clubs, facilitating exchange and collaboration among them. It also served as an opportunity for the university to express appreciation to its students and alumni for their dedicated efforts and strong support towards campus activities. The event attracted over 60 attendees, creating a lively atmosphere.

Prof. Stephen Morgan; Dr. Teresa Loong, Vice Rector of USJ，Dr. Alejandro Salcedo, Administrator of USJ; and Ms. Ngai Sou, Vice-Chair of the General Assembly of the Alumni Association of USJ (AAUSJ).
In his opening speech, Rector Morgan commended the students for their hard work and contribution in the past academic year. He highlighted the significance of peer interaction and extracurricular activities on the university campus. Taking his own experience as an example, he mentioned that in the learning process, apart from classroom content, 70% of the knowledge gained comes from peer-to-peer interaction and exchange of ideas. He emphasized that engaging in university community activities is a core part of students’ life experience, and that young people should maintain their enthusiasm and motivation in community activities. He encouraged students to cultivate their own multi-skill development with an attitude of self-satisfaction in the process.
During the presentation, members from various societies shared their exciting activities and competitions. Representatives from Basketball, Badminton, Volleyball, Football, Music, Business and Green Clubs introduced the tournaments and activities in which their teams have participated. A review of the student clubs’ performance, including the records of competition awards and achievements, was presented to give participants a deeper understanding of their regular operation and communication process of each club. Last but not least, members from the Music Club performed three popular songs, which demonstrated the diverse talents and vitality of USJ students.
