Origins
The Yale Club of Hong Kong was born in early 1981 when Dr. Po-Wen Huang (Yale College '60, Yale Graduate School '61, '63) invited all known Yale alumni in Hong Kong to get together for a lunch in Central - and about 15 people responded. From this modest beginning has grown one the most active Yale Clubs outside of the United States. At present we have more than 500 alumni affiliated with the Club. Alumni of all 12 of Yale's schools are represented.

The Club also supports many ongoing efforts, including:
- interviews with prospective students;
- presenting the Yale Book Award to outstanding students in local high schools;
- sponsoring a current Yale student as an AYA Community Service Fellow each summer to work with the homeless in Hong Kong;
- participating in local U.S. education fairs; and
- helping to fund the annual student exchange program between Yale and New Asia College at Chinese University, among others.
A weekly newsletter is sent out to all members and friends of the Yale Club of Hong Kong.
