Classes and work will resume at the University of Macau tomorrow (18 September).

Typhoon Mangkhut has departed Macao. Currently, UM working personnel are making post-typhoon arrangements on campus. UM University Council Chair Lam Kam Seng and UM Rector Yonghua Song today (17 September) returned to the campus in the morning to check the impact of the typhoon and to meet with students and working personnel who remained on campus during the typhoon.

Lam and Song visited the Postgraduate Houses and the residential colleges to check on the students who remained on campus during the typhoon. Some students say this year UM did a good job in taking precautions against the typhoon. Students have suffered minimum impact, saying they feel grateful for the support they received from other UM members during the typhoon. 

UM would like to thank all the working personnel who stayed on campus to discharge their duties during the typhoon, which has helped minimise the typhoon’s impact on the university.

UM's Students' Union and Student Affairs Office arranged for student volunteers to assist with post-typhoon cleanup, delivery of supplies, and other volunteer services at Coloane Luso-Chinese School, the São José School of Ká Hó, the headquarters of the Macao Customs Service, the Rehabilitation Centre for the Blind, and other local institutions.
