At the beginning of the new semester, the Office of Admission and the Office of Student Affairs of the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) held 2016 “Return to Alma Maters during Winter Vacation” Seminar, to summarize the main results of this activity, commend the students with outstanding performance in this activity, and solicit students’ opinions and suggestions on admission work.

To cement exchanges with high schools and encourage students to join admission work, the Office Admission and the Office of Student Affairs organized students for a social practice activity themed “Return to Alma Maters during Winter Vacation”. The statistics showed that our students have visited over 300 middle schools with 20,000 student participants.This not only effectively promoted admission work, but also offered students a better understanding of the society and improved their practical ability. This activity changed students from “family members” to “social members”. Also, doing much work valuable to SUSTech and the society is not only contributing to public welfare, but also be of great benefit to developing students’ sense of social responsibility and making students outstanding talents with feelings, said Xue Zheng, director of the Office of Student Affairs.
