Dear students,

On behalf of all the faculty and staff of Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC), I would like to welcome you to SHEAC as your new home on campus.

Our College was founded in 2010 on the old campus of the University of Macau in Taipa. With the generous donation from Dr. Stanley Ho, our College was relocated to the new campus in Hengqin in 2014 and was renamed SHEAC. The founding College Master of SHEAC is Professor Iu Vai Pan, who recently handed over the responsibility to me. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Professor Iu for his 14 years of leadership of the College and wish him all the best in his new stage of life. Professor Iu will be a permanent member of our community and he will always be welcome at SHEAC!

Since I joined SHEAC as the Interim College Master on July 30, 2024, I have received a warm welcome and strong support from resident academic staff, administrative staff, and student leaders. In one week, faculty, staff, and student leaders have done an outstanding job getting ready to welcome freshmen and seniors to their campus home.

Our efforts demonstrate our ability to achieve our vision of “creating a warm and supportive environment for students to advance academically and personally.” I believe that with the help of my colleagues, student leaders, and general students, we can build a strong community that you will want to consider your new home. To enrich your college life and improve your soft skills, we offer two RC courses and organize well-designed social activities, cultural activities and academic programs. More importantly, we plan to offer precise academic support and career planning. We also hope to promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage a clean and orderly living environment.

We hope that through joint efforts, our College can make important contributions to UM’s 4-in-1 education model and the realization of whole-person education. If you have any suggestions for making SHEAC a better home or need any help from us, please let us know.

Prof. Kathy Qian Luo
Interim College Master
