In his concluding remarks, Li Jinlin emphasized that alumni are vital forces and innovative vehicles for the university’s talent cultivation, teaching and scientific research, university-enterprise cooperation, enrollment and employment, cultural inheritance, and social services. Enhancing connections and interactions between alumni, and between alumni and their alma mater, through communication, service, and cooperation, can help and support alumni in better contributing to local economic and social development while promoting the mutual success of alumni, the university, and local regions. He expressed gratitude for the efforts made by alumni organizations in supporting employment initiatives and assisting graduates, while putting forward three hopes: to persistently strengthen alumni liaison work and deepen communication; to continue building communication platforms wholeheartedly to further mutual development; and to join forces in establishing close cooperative relations and creating a long-term talent exchange mechanism between the university and alumni enterprises.
Themed “Discussing the Alumni Work Plan and Envisioning a New Chapter of University Development”, this annual meeting aimed to strengthen the connection and cooperation between SCMU and regional alumni associations. By pooling the collective wisdom and strength of alumni, integrating university and alumni resources, and establishing university-enterprise cooperation and industry-education-research integration platforms, the goal is to construct a community of shared future for the university and alumni. Through engaging interactions, warm services, in-depth cooperation, and extensive and impactful contributions, SCMU and its alumni will jointly write a better future for the university.
