Second Campus Culture Event: to Fall for TJU

"Wow, I am proud to be able to study at such a university. I want to share this information with my family and my compatriots." Kamya Edward, an international student from Uganda, couldn't help making the exclamation after he attended the Second Campus Culture Event launched by the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology during Tianjin University’s Crabapple Blossom Festival on March 31. Themed as “A date at the Crabapple Blossom Festival, a chance to fall in love with TJU”, the event organized newly enrolled international students to tour around the campus, visit the university’s history museum and attend various cultural activities. “We hope that we can help students learn about the past, the present and the future development trend of our university. Seeing is believing and understanding leads to a sense of belonging.” Said Guo Jing, the event promoter and a teachers from the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology who is in charge of international student affairs management.

On their visit to Tianjin University History Museum, students learned about the origin of Tianjin University, its 124 years of development, its spiritual and cultural traditions, and contributions to the country and society. In this way, students were expected to gain an in-depth understanding of the University motto “Seeking Truth from Facts”. Students were amazed at the achievements of Tianjin University in recent years and expressed their willingness to become a bridge connecting China and other countries in the world from different perspectives such as economy, culture and friendship, with the aim of advocating the university’s reputation.

In recent years, as the School of Chemical Engineering and Technology becomes more internationalized, the number of international students coming to study at the school has significantly improved. The school has established all-in-English undergraduate, graduate and doctor curriculum systems and strived to better its international teaching and research training system and the management service system as well so as to cultivate high-quality international talents in chemical engineering and contribute to the Belt and Road Initiative.
