另外，慧詩在香港國際場地盃先後取得三面金牌，包括精英組競輪賽、爭先賽及500米計時賽，更以首次教練助理身份，在比賽中協助提升年輕運動員水平。

三位教學人員和五名同學獲頒通識教育教學獎及傑出學生獎，以表揚他們在通識教育教與學上的優秀表現。

在通識教育課程中教授大學英文科目的語文中心講師Jenny Choe，獲頒首屆「通識教育教學獎」，評審小組認為她的教學方法有效提升學生的學習興趣，並鼓勵他們投入課堂活動，值得表揚。傳播系講師鄭依琳博士及數學系講師杜啟明博士則獲頒優異獎。

「通識教育傑出學生獎勵計劃」踏入第二屆。五位獲獎學生分別是洪志偉（人文學四年級）、高珊珊（國際新聞四年級）、林苑婷（社會工作三年級）、黃智銘（體育及康樂管理三年級），以及黃家弘（化學四年級）。他們不但在通識教育課程上有優秀的表現，而且積極參與課外活動及社區服務，彰顯全人教育的學生特質，並成為其他同學的榜樣。

頒獎典禮於2月18日舉行，由校長錢大康教授及尚志會會長徐國榆先生擔任頒獎嘉賓。典禮上，錢校長分享個人學習經驗，提醒同學通識教育的重要性。他指出，現今社會瞬息萬變，單一範疇的知識及技能，已不足以應付生活及工作的種種挑戰，因此寄語同學要善用通識教育課程這個連繫生活的學習平台，多涉獵不同領域的知識，和掌握多元化的技能，擴闊眼界，裝備自己，定必終生受用。

通識教育教學獎由通識教育處主辦，旨在表揚教學人員的卓越表現，從而鼓勵其他教員以多元、互動的方法，進一步提升通識教育的教學質素；而傑出學生獎則嘉許同學在學術、個人發展及社會服務等範疇卓越的表現。

Honours were bestowed on three teaching staff and five students at the University’s first GE Teaching Award and GE Outstanding Students Awards in recognition of their outstanding performance in General Education teaching and learning.

The inaugural recipient of the “GE Teaching Award” is Ms Jenny Choe, Lecturer of the Language Centre who teaches University English courses in the GE Programme. The selection panel commends Ms Choe for her effective teaching method which enhances students’ desire to learn and encourages active participation in class activities. Dr Kimmy Cheng, Lecturer of the Department of Communication Studies and Dr Simon To, Lecturer of the Department of Mathematics are awarded the Honorable Mention.

The five recipients of the “GE Outstanding Students Award Scheme”, now in its second year, are Hung Chi-wai (Humanities, Year 4), Kao Shan-shan (International Journalism, Year 4), Lam Yuen-ting (Social Work, Year 3), Wong Chi-ming (Physical Education and Recreation Management, Year 3) and Wong Ka-wang (Chemistry, Year 4). They showcase the attributes of Whole Person Education through not only their excellent performance in academic studies, but also active participation in extracurricular activities and community service. These characteristics make them wonderful role models for other students.

An award presentation ceremony was held on 18 February officiated by Professor Roland Chin, President and Vice-Chancellor and Mr Kent Tsui, President of the HKBU Century Club. At the ceremony, Professor Chin shared his learning experience and highlighted the importance of General Education. He pointed out that knowledge and skills of a single area would no longer be sufficient for us to cope with challenges in our lives and career in this ever-changing world. He hoped that students could make good use of the GE Programme, a learning platform connected to daily life, so as to broaden their horizons and equip themselves with a diverse range of knowledge and skills that would benefit them for life.

Organised by the General Education Office, the GE Teaching Award aims to recognise the outstanding performance of teaching staff, as well as encourage other colleagues to strive for excellence by adopting diversified and engaging pedagogies to enhance the teaching and learning quality of the GE Programme, while the GE Outstanding Students Award aims to encourage students’ proactive attitude and remarkable performance in academic studies, personal development and community services.

報章訪問 (明報, 2015年10月)

貳：這一代「快樂地」，諗「煩惱詩」

【明報專訊】記者向沐羽提到在IL Sistema Periodico中，作者Primo Levi以氬的化學特性比喻祖先精神上的惰性，傾向玄想和巧辯，對群體有一種不介入的態度，因而被納入生命長河的邊緣支流。他聽到後一笑說：「像浸大人。」

貳：這一代「快樂地」，諗「煩惱詩」

【明報專訊】記者向沐羽提到在IL Sistema Periodico中，作者Primo Levi以氬的化學特性比喻祖先精神上的惰性，傾向玄想和巧辯，對群體有一種不介入的態度，因而被納入生命長河的邊緣支流。他聽到後一笑說：「像浸大人。」

2014年大學罷課，浸大悄悄成立了一個組織，叫「快樂地」，一班大學生有感城市不快樂，大學不快樂，人類不快樂。於是他們在不快樂的世界裏，想種植一些快樂，在某些傷懷的時刻，拾來仔細感受。之後他們搞了草地音樂會、讀詩會、漂書會，雨傘運動時校園貼上不少用紙皮寫的字牌，「再多的催淚彈，也敵不及今日的香港催淚」。沐羽與子雲是「快樂地」的成員，他們幾次提醒記者，快樂地不是一個讀書組織，而更近於一個社運組織。沐羽又說，他們不能代表「快樂地」——「因為我們本身的架構很鬆散的，快樂地的宗旨就是沒有宗旨，所以快樂地……甚至稱不上是一個組織，它是一個存在於浸大，讓同學一起做不同嘗試的地方。」他們避免套上巨大的宗旨，尊重個體自由，免去摩擦。沐羽說，浸大人嘛，就是個體性強。

沐羽與子雲都是浸大人文及創作系首屆學生。他們學習的創意寫作（Creative writing）源於外國，自1946年著名作家Wallace Stegner於史丹福大學創辦創意寫作計劃，短短約70年間，這門學科已於多個國家的學府開辦，不同的寫作計劃培養出眾多優秀作家，如楊牧、瘂弦和中上健次等。在香港算是新的學系，「課堂上很少確實的理論，反而看很多中外的作品，直到我們可以選擇一種我們想要的流派，再自行發展」，子雲說。在放羊式的教學中，他們大量閱讀，兩人寫詩，同樣是煩惱詩社的成員，但他們搞的讀書會，讀的書未必有關文學，有次他們讀的是David Harvey的社會地理觀。在訪問的尾聲，他們提起浸大圖書館有齊黃碧雲的書，「不如……」二人笑成一團，愛書的人，藏着可愛。
