Outreach Advisory Committee

CISPA Outreach Advisory Committee

(email:  outreach@cispa.hk)

This Committee was launched in 2010 to extend CISPA’s mission, “To enrich the CDNIS experience” by supporting CDNIS students and staff.  CISPA is pleased to support initiatives which reflect the school’s mission of “developing responsible global citizens and leaders through academic excellence”.

The Outreach Advisory Committee provides resources (guidance, ideas, mentoring and/or funding) for student- or faculty-led charitable or enrichment-based initiatives and projects.

We look forward to offering our support. Please contact us to let us know about your ideas or needs, or if you are interested in contributing to this committee.  Applications for support may be submitted below.
