New Dimensions presents the college‘s latest achievements in the areas of teaching, learning, research, and its engagement with society. The unveiling of the magazine symbolises a new chapter of UIC’s periodicals, according to UIC President Prof Ng Ching-Fai. In his address, he continued that a liberal arts education could add diversity to China’s tertiary education and open up new dimensions within this landscape.

This magazine evolved from UIC’s first periodical First Step in Four, which was released in 2006 by MPRO, and English newsletter for staff UIC Beacon, which was first issued in 2013.

Mr Chai presented bound periodicals of the back issues of First Step in Four and UIC Beacon as well as the launching issue of New Dimensions to Deputy College Librarian of the Learning Resource Centre, Ms Cham Fung Ying, for preservation.
