As the ‘Record on the Subject of Education’ chapter of the Book of Rites states: ‘Through learning, one discovers their limitations; through teaching, one understands the true challenges of learning.’ We believe that ‘to teach is to learn twice’—through mentoring others, students not only identify gaps in their knowledge but also deepen their mastery of learning, thus turning information into lasting wisdom that will serve them beyond graduation. Apart from acquiring knowledge, integrating knowledge with practice is of paramount importance. SHEAC prioritises experiential learning. Take environmental education for example: in March and April this year, the college organised a series of Earth Day activities, including food waste and cardboard recycling (which gave students insight into the lives of local families at the grassroots level), beach cleanups, and upgrading the college’s recycling station. Through these activities, students not only understood how reducing waste and carbon emissions align with the country’s environmental policies and global sustainable development goals, but also experienced first-hand how effective eco-friendly initiatives—and the community organisations driving them—can amplify individual impact into collective change. In addition, the college has strengthened its career planning support. This includes hosting several lunch meetups and tea sessions to provide further studies consultation, and taking students on study tours to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Beijing to visit leading universities, enterprises, and innovation centres. These visits and exchange activities have provided students with direct exposure to the latest developments in mainland China and its market, enabling them to define their roles in national development and confidently prepare for the future. Empowering Students to Sail Towards Their Dreams SHEAC’s 15th anniversary marks the beginning of a new chapter of its development. The college will remain committed to creating a warm home for students and providing more comprehensive career guidance so that they can chart their career paths. Through various educational initiatives, the college will continue to sharpen students’ academic skills and core competencies, while transforming itself into a platform for practical learning. We hope to empower students to translate knowledge into tangible skills through diverse experiences, preparing them for a promising future. 羅茜是澳門大學何鴻燊東亞書院院長及生物醫學系教授。就任院長之前，曾擔任澳門大學健康科學學院生物醫學 系系主任。羅教授畢業於北京大學（本科和碩士）及英屬哥倫比亞大學（生物學博士），並曾在多所世界頂尖大學任 教，包括新加坡南洋理工大學和香港科技大學。 Luo Qian is the college master of Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC) and a full professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences of the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Macau (UM).
