Dr. Raymond W.M. Yeung participated in the "Crystal Year Anniversary Dinner" organized by the Hong Kong Storage and Transportation Charity Foundation

The Department of Economics and Finance at Shue Yan University has been offering internship programs for nine years since 2016. The program has built partnerships with various publicly listed companies, corporate groups, financial institutions, and non-profit organizations, providing students with opportunities to gain industry experience and understand how society functions.

One of its long-term partners is the Credit Union League of Hong Kong (CULHK), a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting disadvantaged communities by providing professional personal financial management services. Through the collective savings of its members, CULHK offers low-interest loans that improve its members' lives and enhance their overall welfare. As a member of the World Council of Credit Unions, Inc. and the Association of Asian Confederation of Credit Unions, CULHK is responsible for promoting credit union activities and educational development in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and other regions of the world.

Students from the Department of Economics and Finance at Shue Yan University had the opportunity to learn about the practical operations, social significance, and contributions of microfinance through internships at the CULHK. Many graduates have since become members and volunteers for the CULHK after completing their internships. Dr. Lucas Poon Che Cheong, the former head of the Department of Economics and Finance, currently serves as a director of the CULHK.

Hong Kong CU Movement Charity Fund is a charitable organization established by the Credit Union League of Hong Kong, which concentrates on youth development and educational promotion. The Foundation has successfully funded over 1,000 underprivileged students to complete high school in Mainland China. Additionally, it collaborates with local tertiary institutions to provide scholarships, bursaries, and internship programs, encouraging students to study diligently and embrace the values of self-help and mutual assistance.

In the past, the Foundation has provided two scholarships of HK$5,000 each annually to support interns in the Department of Economics and Finance. Many graduates have gone on to become volunteers for the Foundation, including Mr. Eric Ka-Wai Kwok, a 2014 graduate of the Department of Economics and Finance, who is currently a board member of the Hong Kong CU Movement Charity Fund.
