w88 casino News Network (Reporter’s Greetings)September 6On the morning of 3974_3988|, Principal Shi Jianjun gave a speech to w88 casino2010Freshman's special report - "College Students and Universities". The main venue for the report is the lecture hall of the library, and the sub-venues are the audio-visual center and the Ningyuan lecture hall.

Principal Shi congratulates first2010freshmen entered w88 casino and thanked them for choosing to make w88 casino more socially influential and socially recognized. Principal Shi pointed out the difference between universities and middle schools. First, the degree of management is different: middle schools are heteronomous education, and universities are self-disciplined education. Second, middle schools are examination-oriented education while universities are quality-oriented education: examination-oriented education is a certain foundation for success, but its comprehensiveness is slightly inferior. College students are based on improving their competitiveness to participate in society in the future. It is based on cultivating talents who can improve their comprehensive abilities and make creative contributions in the fields of science, technology, society and culture. Third, middle w88 casino knowledge is closed knowledge, while university knowledge is open knowledge: the knowledge system of middle w88 casino is fixed, while the knowledge of university exists in an infinite space and a broad social field. Fourth, middle schools are imitative innovations, while universities are independent innovations: middle schools are an inherited learning model, while universities will enter the learning stage of independent innovation.

Principal Shi used the words of Zhang Zai, a great scholar from the Song Dynasty, to "establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all generations." This sentence explains the Chinese people's earliest understanding of universities, that is, universities are a place where culture is spread and nurtured, and everyone experiences the baptism of the spirit. University is not a material pursuit, but a cultural and spiritual pursuit. It embodies the value orientation of freedom, democracy, and science, and it embodies everyone's pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty. "Establishing a heart for heaven and earth" means becoming the mainstay of social spiritual values; "Establishing a life for the people" means serving the people wholeheartedly and being people-oriented as mentioned in the "Three Represents"; "Continuing knowledge for the past saints" means the transmission and extension of knowledge, inheriting and developing on the basis of predecessors; "creating peace for all generations" is the most noble mission of the university, a pursuit of value and culture, and the highest state of human struggle. It is usually said that there are "three majors" in universities, one is the "building", the second is the "master", and the third is "the great love".

President Shi pointed out that universities have four major functions: first, imparting knowledge, centered on the purpose of educating people; second, expanding knowledge, scientific innovation and technological innovation on the basis of inheritance, extending knowledge; third, using knowledge to serve, expanding knowledge, and using what has been learned to serve society; fourth, cultural dissemination, spreading knowledge and culture to the country and the world. This is also a manifestation of a country's soft power, and our country is currently moving from an educational country to an educational power.

When talking about the development of w88 casino, President Shi emphasized: First, w88 casino aims to build a quality university. The so-called elite universities are those with a small number of students, high-quality students, reasonable knowledge structure, and the ability to participate in international competition in the future. Elite education and quality universities are the first purpose of w88 casino. Second, elite talent education allows w88 casino students to have a solid foundation in both foreign languages ​​and finance. They are compound knowledge talents and a multi-disciplinary combination. Third, research-oriented universities are scientific research-oriented and take major issues related to national strategic goals as their research objects. They support the national development strategy. Fourth, the characteristics of international w88 casino running. Fifth, low-carbon campus, green university. Not only are there many solar street lights on the campus, but the w88 casino has achieved zero discharge of sewage into the city. Principal Shi also gave an example that the coolness of the library lecture hall in summer is because the w88 casino uses a groundwater circulation system and does not use air conditioning at all.

What kind of goals should universities cultivate? ——Principal Shi summed it up in three sentences: high quality, innovation and internationalization. High quality means that it can reflect the value pursuit and cultural concepts of modern civilization, it can reflect the spiritual outlook of modern college students, and it can reflect the spiritual quality of contemporary Chinese people who contribute to the country and society. It can be summed up in five words: "fraternity, erudition, integrity, pursuit, and sincerity." The talents trained by w88 casino should have a sense of social responsibility, do great things for the country, and know how to be grateful, grateful, repaying kindness, and giving kindness. They should pay more attention to humanistic care and emotional exchanges, pay more attention to moral education and life education, be tolerant, generous, tolerant, and collaborative, and be able to flexibly expand their knowledge, and constantly ask, learn, answer, and practice. Regarding innovation, President Shi pointed out that Chinese students lack critical thinking, innovative thinking and the courage to challenge authority. They dare not ask questions and accept passively. He hopes to completely change the current education situation in China starting from our generation: first, every student can take the initiative to cultivate his own critical thinking ability, the ability to discover problems, and be good at analyzing and collecting data to continue thinking; second, always maintain a strong curiosity and questioning attitude, and establish a thinking framework for economic college students with divergent thinking; third, break their own innovation fatigue and break empiricism; fourth, be full of passion and be able to learn, live, and create with vigor every day. The last step is internationalization. Because of economic globalization, w88 casino must also be fully internationalized. Internationalization is the foundation of the w88 casino, the source of its characteristics, and the road to development. Internationalization is the entire core competitiveness and the most important w88 casino-running feature of w88 casino. Students of the University of Economics and Business should regard the world map as their own homeland, look for it with a magnifying glass, and regard African issues, South American issues, European issues, and North American issues as our research objects. Therefore, we need to establish a multi-dimensional training model such as major plus minor double major, finance plus foreign language, domestic training plus overseas study, academic education and vocational qualification certification, theoretical learning and extracurricular learning, extracurricular learning and social practice. w88 casino expands the international knowledge system, increases international tutorials, promotes bilingual teaching, and strengthens international teachers. It requires two-thirds of teachers to have overseas study backgrounds, establishes an international teaching material system, implements an international language environment, and strives for 5% of students to study abroad and inspect within four years. The w88 casino is the third largest university in the country in terms of the absolute number of Chinese international students and the first in the country in terms of relative numbers. There are students from121countries1927international students, which is conducive to promoting international cultural exchanges. President Shi hopes that all freshmen at the w88 casino will keep these three sentences in mind: "high quality, innovation, and internationalization" and continue to strive for this goal in four years.

After the report, Principal Shi also interacted with the freshmen on site and answered questions one by one about professional interests, w88 casino development, etc. The report lasted nearly two hours and ended successfully with warm applause from the audience.
