The University is deeply saddened by the passing of our Honorary Doctorate recipient Dr David Ho Tzu-cho on 28 March at the age of 101.
Dr Ho was a distinguished banker and entrepreneur, who also exemplified an unwavering commitment to education, medical science research and philanthropy. His tireless endeavours included championing the development of numerous local, mainland, and overseas educational institutions, as well as generously supporting social welfare projects and non-governmental organisations to serve the needs of society. His philanthropic contributions have left a profound mark on the community, earning him utmost respect across different sectors. A devoted and much-valued supporter of HKBU for over three decades, Dr Ho played a pivotal role in the University’s campus development, including the Wai Hang Sports Centre, and the establishment of the David C Lam Building in 1992. His enduring dedication to advancing medical science was evident in his donation in 1999 to establish a joint research laboratory in Chinese medicine between HKBU and Tsinghua University in Beijing. The S H Ho Foundation, previously chaired by Dr Ho, is an honorary trustee of the HKBU Foundation. In 2020, it established the S H Ho Student Exchange Scholarship Endowment Fund, providing HKBU students with opportunities to broaden their horizons through overseas exchanges.
The University community would like to convey our heartfelt condolences to the Ho family at this time of bereavement. Dr Ho will always be remembered for his wholehearted support for and distinguished contributions to the University, and as a beloved and respected member of the HKBU community.

The University is deeply saddened by the passing of Dr Yip Wai-hong, our Honorary University Fellowship recipient and a respected leader in music education in Hong Kong, on 16 June at the age of 94.
Dr Yip left a profound legacy at HKBU where he taught from 1963 to 1992. In 1973, he established the Department of Music and Fine Arts (which later became the Department of Music and the present Academy of Music) and served as its Founding Head until his retirement. During his tenure, he also served as the Dean of the Faculty of Arts for four years. In 1993, he was appointed as a member of the Council. He had made generous donation in support of the development of the HKBU Christian Choir, Chaplain’s Office Ministries, and the HKBU Development Fund. In recognition of his acclaimed contributions, Dr Yip was conferred an Honorary University Fellow in 2006.
As a distinguished composer and esteemed music educator, Dr Yip made substantial contributions to the musical arts landscape of Hong Kong. As a composer, his oeuvre encompassed symphonic music, concerto, instrumental music, oratorio, choral music and arrangements of Chinese folk songs. Crowned “The Father of Children’s Choir” in Hong Kong, Dr Yip devoted most of his life to nurturing music talents. A revered figure in Hong Kong’s music education scene, Dr Yip’s legacy has left an indelible mark on the community.
The University community would like to convey our heartfelt condolences to the Yip family at this time of bereavement. Dr Yip will always be remembered for his wholehearted support for and distinguished contributions to the University, and as a beloved and respected member of the HKBU and Hong Kong community.
