Applications for United College Choi Kai Yau Residence Organising Committee

United College’s Fifth Hostel — Choi Kai Yau Residence will be ready in 2025! We believe many students are looking forward to moving into this brand-new hostel.

Before the new hostel starts operating, we need to prepare many tasks. One important task is to establish the “Choi Kai Yau Residence Organising Committee,” which will be responsible for assisting with move-ins, organising various orientation activities, and supporting the Residents’ Association to create a unique culture for Choi Kai Yau Residence.

The College is now recruiting students with experience in organising College or Hall activities and who are willing to serve, to become the committee members. The successful applicants can reside in Choi Kai Yau Residence for one year. There are 8 positions available. Applicants must attend an interview.

The application deadline for the Choi Kai Yau Residence Organising Committee is at 1:00 pm on Friday, January 24, 2025. Interested students should complete the following online application form and upload the relevant documents as instructed. Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
