When Professor Morris Jong worked as Assistant Professor in CUHK, he was not a member of Shaw College. He became a resident tutor in Student Hostel II by chance, and was invited by Ms Bonnie Kan, the then College Secretary, to join Shaw College. Professor Jong started to serve as Dean of Students of the College in 2017.

Congratulations to Professor Alex Cheung, Senior College Tutor, for being awarded the Tsinghua University Honorary Professor title! Professor Cheung was interested in philology, diplomatics, ritual studies and study of bronze wares since he was a university student, and used these topics as the direction for his master's and doctoral theses. Professor Cheung is particularly interested in the study of bronze wares.

Professor Joyce Ma said joining CUHK and Shaw College was serendipity. She said with a smile that she benefited from the mass migration wave in the 1980s and 1990s. The Department of Social Work was in urgent need of a lecturer to teach mental health at that time. Although she only had a master degree, Dr Agnes Ng, then Head of Department thought her professional background was suitable and well-qualified, so Professor Ma joined the Department of Social Work in 1988. She was then assigned by the Department as member of Shaw College.
