Professor Kong Fanqing has taken office as Vice Rector of City University of Macau on January 22, 2015. The Council of the University has high hope that this appointment will further improve the teaching quality and promote sustainable development in City U. With decades of experience in higher education under her belt, Prof. Kong’s addition to the leadership of City U will certainly open a new chapter for City U. Prof. Kong Fanqing has devoted decades in service of the higher education sector in both Mainland and Macau. Since coming to Macau in 2006, she has been working in higher education administration and management, taking successive leadership positions in Macao Polytechnic Institute and University of Saint Joseph. Prof. Kong has also been involved in providing Chinese language training for local public servants during the transitional period prior to the transfer of sovereignty of Macau since early 1990s. Prior to her move to Macau, Prof. Kong Fanqing has long served at Beijing Language and Culture University in various capacities, such as Vice President of the University, Deputy Chairman of the University Affairs Committee, Deputy Chairman of the Evaluation Committee for Senior Professional Titles, and Chairman of the Committee for International Exchange. Experienced in teaching the Chinese language and culture, she has long been responsible for the Mandarin training program for public servants from Macau in Beijing language and Culture University. A graduate of Spanish major, Prof Kong has not only studied Latin History in Mexico, but was also formerly the Office Director for the P.R.C. Embassy in Mexico. Therefore she has a unique and profound understanding of Latin countries, which includes many Portuguese-speaking countries. As the Macau SAR Government has been actively promoting higher education development in recent years, City University of Macau has been recruiting talents at home and abroad for the betterment of school governance. The Council of City U expects to see Prof. Kong becoming a part of the leadership of the University in short order, and trusts that her wealth of experience will assist to steer the University further into a bright future. |
