Get ready to level up your happiness and build your resilience muscle in the face of challenges!
The Teaching and Learning Evaluation and Measurement Unit, in collaboration with the Common Core and CEDARS, will present the campus campaign Thriving @ HKU: Open Doors to Happiness on March 17 (Friday) in the Main Library.
