On the afternoon of September 10th, SUIBE held a meeting to mark the 40th Teacher’s Day and commend staff members. Qi Ming, Chairman of the University Council of SUIBE, along with President Wang Rongming, Vice Chairman of the University Council of SUIBE Wu Yi, Vice Presidents Xu Yonglin and Jiang Xiuzhen, and Chen Weiping, President of Songjiang Experimental School Affiliated to SUIBE, attended the meeting.
In his speech, Wang Rongming, on behalf of SUIBE, extended sincere greetings and heartfelt gratitude to all faculty and staff diligently working in their positions, as well as to retired teachers. He also offered warm congratulations to all the commended teachers. Reflecting on the past year, Wang highlighted SUIBE’s accomplishments in reform and development, and the strides made in faculty development. He shared three insights on strengthening faculty development for the new era: firstly, to make a rapid march, accelerating the university’s efforts to align with the nation’s endeavor of building an educational powerhouse; secondly, to embrace the ethos of an educator, fostering “master teachers” to cultivate a high-caliber faculty; and thirdly, to leverage unique strengths through innovative development, meticulously crafting SUIBE’s educational identity.
At the meeting, Wu Yi announced the Decision Regarding the Commendations for the 2023-2024 Academic Year Teacher’s Day, and the university leadership presented certificates of honor to awardee representatives. During a ceremony in tribute to teachers retiring in the 2023-2024 academic year, Qi Ming presented commemorative plaques to representatives.
Fang Xuguang, Zhang Bo, Li Ruinan, Niu Dongfang, Zhang Feiyue, and Chen Yunfei and Yang Yuheng expounded on the practical endeavors and aspirations of SUIBE’s teachers in upholding the spirit of education across six dimensions.
During a teacher swearing-in ceremony, representatives of new teachers for the 2023-2024 academic year took a solemn oath, led by Qu Yanying from the School of Finance.
