Wilson Cheung obtained his bachelor’s degree in architecture at the University of Hong Kong in 1969 and became a professional architect. He is the Chairman of Aristple Consultant Ltd. in Hong Kong. He is also the President and Managing Director of a group of companies that span across geographies, notably Campustar (U.S.A.) Inc. in New York and Campustar Enterprises Ltd. in Vancouver. Wilson is also active in community affairs. He was a past president of the Hong Kong University Alumni Association and has served in various charity bodies.

Whilst studying architecture at HKU in 1960’s Wilson lived in Ricci Hall, run by the Society of Jesus. A characteristic of the Hall is the close bond developed between its members over the years. The Hall is a self-financing and independent institution. Its members have continually given their support to the Hall as to maintain its independence. For that purpose the Ricci Hall Trust was established in 1991. Administered by the Society of Jesus, the trust’s expressed object is the advancement of education including in particular the maintenance of Ricci as a hall of residence at the University of Hong Kong. It is recognized as a charity by the Commissioner of Inland Revenue and donations to it are exempted from taxation.
