On October 15th, the "New 'Heart' Encounter, Beautiful Journey Together" Luncheon for Representatives of Freshmen from all ethnic groups, hosted by the Office of National Unity Education of the Party Committee's Student Affairs Department and undertaken by the School's “Meimeiyugong”(Beautiful Journey Together) Studio, was successfully held at the Huada National Unity Progress Home on the 5th floor of the New University Student Activity Center. This event, as the opening activity of the 6th "Mei Mei Yv Gong" College Student Career Navigation Month, received high attention and strong support from the Student Affairs Department and various colleges. Yang Jun, Director of the Student Affairs Department, Wu Jiancheng, Deputy Director of the Student Affairs Department, Sun Qiwu, Deputy Director of the College Student Mental Health Education Center, Yang Guoqiang, Recruitment Service Director of the Employment Office, Wen Lesheng from the Undergraduate Teaching Operation Management Office, Luo Jialin, Deputy Secretary of the Student League Committee, and all teachers from the organizer attended, with 26 new student representatives recommended by various training units participating. The event was presided over by Meiheriguli, Director of the National Unity Office.
First, under the guidance of Alixiate, a teacher from the Ethnic Affairs Office, the students visited the Huaxia National Unity Progress Home. Through detailed explanations of the display walls featuring ethnic musical instruments, ethnic embroidery, ethnic scripts, and a collection of ethnic education activities, everyone immersed themselves in the profound, rich, and shared symbols and images of Chinese culture. They fully experienced the charm of the history and culture of the Chinese nation and gained a further understanding of the various measures and rich achievements of the school's ethnic unity and progress education work.
Attendees took their seats. Meiheriguli first extended a warm welcome to the leaders, teachers, and representatives of new students from various ethnic groups present at the scene. She then introduced the main purpose and specific arrangements of this year's series of career navigation activities. New undergraduate and postgraduate students from 17 different provinces and various ethnic groups introduced themselves in turn. The diverse and multiform sharing by everyone made the atmosphere lively and warm. Through relaxed and pleasant communication, they quickly got to know each other and enhanced their friendship.
During the exchange, teachers and students opened their hearts and spoke freely. The students mainly asked questions about future academic and professional directions, interpersonal communication, psychological counseling, volunteer services, social practice, and further education and employment. The attending teachers patiently answered everyone's questions one by one. Liang Fangyi, a Zhuang student from the School of Liberal Arts, asked about the school's minor policy. Wen Lesheng gave a detailed answer and suggested that everyone fully refer to the training programs and syllabuses of each college to play the role of open classrooms. Yang Qiancheng, a Gelao student from the School of Economics and Business Administration, asked about the policies related to public-funded normal students. Wu Jiancheng gave a detailed answer and also guided the students to continuously optimize themselves and make plans with examples. Luo Jialin, combining research results, interpreted in detail the top ten hot issues that new students are concerned about regarding volunteer hours, pointing out feasible methods, which were warmly received. The teachers analyzed from a professional perspective and encouraged everyone to continuously improve their comprehensive qualities, establish self-confidence, seize opportunities, broaden their horizons, and strive for excellent results.
In conclusion, Yang Jun delivered a summary speech. He imparted to the new students that they should: first, cherish time and plan efficiently; second, integrate widely and help each other to make progress; third, unite and strive to deepen their feelings. Under the influence of multiculturalism, they should be more open and tolerant, brave in exploring the unknown, and daring in challenging themselves. They should strive to become well-rounded socialist builders and successors with moral, intellectual, physical, and aesthetic development, and labor skills. They should have a realm in their hearts, a world in their eyes, and a pattern in their actions, becoming practitioners and disseminators of the common consciousness of the Chinese nation.
The luncheon came to a successful end amidst the laughter and reluctance of teachers and students to part. Everyone expressed that the luncheon provided more platforms for exchange and interaction among students of various ethnicities, effectively promoting communication, interaction, and integration among different ethnic groups. It not only highlighted the distinct characteristics and unique advantages of the Chinese nation's diversity and unity, but also further demonstrated the school's high regard and active efforts in ethnic unity and progress education. It is believed that under the "unity like seeds and beautiful journey together" of all teachers and students, the school's cause of ethnic unity and progress education will surely achieve even more brilliant success.
It is reported that the 6th "Mei Mei Yv Gong" College Student Career Navigation Month, with the theme of "Setting Sail from Gui Zi Mountain, Starting a New Journey in Life," will hold 10 events and competitions, including career guidance, career development, group counseling to clarify interests, and competitions to hone skills. These activities aim to strengthen awareness of career planning, enhance employability, and support the healthy growth and development of students from all ethnic groups.
