It was announced that Professor FU Qiang be appointed as the Secretary of the Communist Party Committee of International Campus, and WU Hang, as the Director of the Office of Student Affairs.
Looking back on the path the International Campus has taken, Professor HE Lianzhen said she was honored to have the opportunity to participate in the development and growth of the Campus. She also expressed her gratitude to the entire campus and Haining. She highlighted the fact that this year is the tenth year since the decision of Zhejiang University to build International Campus. In the past ten years, the Campus has grown from scratch to where it is now with its facilities, culture and brand fully recognized. It is hard to launch a business and even harder to keep it. This applies also to International Campus, a pioneer of global collaboration, which is destined to face both opportunities and challenges in the future. As always, she is steadfast that the grand vision of our campus will eventually become a reality.
Professor FU Qiang gave full recognition and gratitude to HE for her contributions to the Campus. He noted that Professor HE had, within six years, correctly oriented the development direction of the campus with a global mindset. Professor HE was a founder and leader of the Campus. Professor FU also expressed his gratitude to Professor WANG Yufen, also one of the founders of the campus, for her achievements in constructing and innovating moral education within an international context and her efforts to establish a residential college with Chinese characteristics. He also positively commented on the efforts made by MA Yuguang for his devotion to student affairs on campus in just over a year.
Professor FU Qiang put forward the responsibilities and missions of International Campus in the next stage. He pointed out that the Campus cannot give up its founding principles. While moving towards higher goals, all iZJUers should stay at the forefront of the construction of world-class universities with Chinese characteristics, and play an exemplary role in building a world-renowned education center for the country. He further invited the iZJUers to embrace uncertainty to enable innovation while adhering to principles. Stay open-minded and entrepreneurial to accelerate high-level development. No bigger leap will be possible without inheriting and carrying forward the pioneering traditions here at International Campus.
Professor WANG Yufen said that as the first batch of builders and pioneers of the Campus, she would always remember the 2,660 days and nights since her arrival on campus. She also expressed her gratitude for and attachment with the campus, and her expectations for it.
The meeting was attended by all leadership, office directors as well as the faculty and staff representatives.
