2024年11月4日至11月15日，教师教学发展中心与学生事务处携手举办了2024-2025秋季学期的“取贤于师，共享食光”活动。该活动旨在建立更加开放与和谐的师生关系，提供一个轻松愉快的交流平台，让学生有机会邀请老师共享午餐或下午茶，围绕职业规划、深造方向、学术研究及个人生活等方面展开深入交流，汲取老师们的宝贵经验与建议。

From November 4 to November 15, 2024, the Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL) and the Student Affairs Office (SAO) jointly held Stay Hungry: Meal with Your Professor in semester I of the 2024-2025 academic year. The activity aims to foster a more open and harmonious teacher-student relationship by providing a relaxed and enjoyable platform for students to invite teachers for lunch or afternoon tea. Through these informal gatherings, students can engage in in-depth discussions with teachers on a variety of topics, including career planning, further studies, academic research, and personal life, gaining valuable insights and advice.

为了鼓励更多同学参与，本次活动的时间安排也进行了优化，从原定的一周延长至两周，给予学生更多机会与老师进行面对面沟通和交流 。今年的活动得到师生的热烈响应，共有近200名学生和80名老师积极参与。

In order to encourage more students to participate, the time schedule of the activity was optimised, extended from one to two weeks, giving students more opportunities to communicate with teachers face-to-face. With nearly 200 students and 80 teachers actively participating, the activity received an overwhelming response from students and teachers.

在活动的反馈中，老师们和同学们均对本次活动给予了高度评价。同学们表示，本学期的“取贤于师，共享食光”活动相比以往有了更多的灵活性，延长的时间使得他们能够更好地调整自己的学习和课外活动安排，从而能够充分利用这一机会与老师交流，收获了许多宝贵的经验与建议。

In the feedback of the activity, both teachers and students gave high praise. Students shared that it provides more flexibility than before, and the extended time allowed them to better adjust their study and extracurricular activities, so that they could make full use of the opportunity to communicate with teachers and gain a lot of valuable experience and advice.

不同年级的学生对活动有着各自的期待和收获。新入学的大一同学更关注今后四年的分流方向、课程选择及大学生活上遇到的烦恼与困惑；而高年级的学生们，尤其是大四学生，更注重深入科研，探索未来的职业可能，许多同学纷纷表示，希望抓住这样宝贵的机会在毕业前与熟悉的导师分享心声、交流体验。这一活动不仅让学生就学术和专业问题与教授们进行探讨，似乎也让他们从茶余饭后这样的轻松时刻瞥见平日里严肃的老师们的另一面，进行实际生活和情感层面的深入沟通，从而为学生们带来了更多的人文关怀与支持。

Students of different years have different expectations and gains from the event. Newly admitted freshmen were more concerned about the direction of their studies, course choices, and troubles and confusion encountered in college life; senior students, especially juniors, were more focused on in-depth scientific research and exploring future career prospects, and many of them expressed the hope of seizing such a valuable opportunity to share their hearts and experiences with their familiar mentors before graduation. This activity not only allows students to discuss academic and professional issues with professors, but also seems to allow them to glimpse the other side of their usually serious teachers from such a relaxing moment, and to have in-depth communication at real-life and emotional levels, thus bringing more humanistic care and support to students.

教师教学发展中心主任陈惠云博士分享了她在本次活动中的感受。她表示，能够走出课堂，与同学们进行更深入的交流，是她非常珍视的机会。通过这次活动，她能够与学生畅谈，更深入了解了同学们的日常生活和校园活动，让她对学生们的生活有了更全面的认识。这不仅有助于她改进教学方法，也进一步促进了教师与学生之间的良性互动与共鸣。

Dr. Wai-wan Vivien Chan, Director of CTL, shared her feelings on the activity. She said that being able to step out of the classroom and have more insightful conversations with her students was an opportunity that she treasured very much. Through this activity, she was able to talk to the students and gain a deeper understanding of their daily life and campus activities, which gave her a more comprehensive view of their lives. This not only helps her to improve her teaching methods, but also further promotes positive interaction and empathy between teachers and students.

随着2024-2025秋季学期“取贤于师，共享食光”活动的圆满落幕，师生们在这一过程中不仅加强了交流，增进了感情，也实现了双向互动——既有益于教学，也促进了学生的学习和成长。这是一次成功的活动，为学生和教师搭建了一个跨越课堂、跨越角色的心灵交流平台，展现了教育的温度与深度。

As Stay Hungry: Meal with Your Professor this semester came to a successful conclusion, teachers and students not only strengthened their communication and enhanced their relationship during a meal, but also realised a two-way interaction - both beneficial to teaching and promoting students' learning and growth. It was a successful activity that built a platform for students and teachers to communicate across classrooms and roles, showing the warmth and depth of education.
