Pan Yishan expressed his warmest welcome and heartfelt congratulations to the 2024 students and sent a message to freshmen with the theme of ‘being an inheritor with LNU’s temperament’. He stressed that the temperament, characterized by the revolutionary spirit, taking responsibilities, inclusiveness and openness as well as diligence and self-independence is achieved by generations at LNU in their study, work and life, which is the common value pursued by all.
He noted that classroom teaching, extracurricular activities and campuses provide a good channel for students at the university to nurture their temperament. He hoped that after four years’ study at the university, the students would truly become the inheritors of LNU’s temperament by going out of the campuses, going into the local community and going up to a higher level. He expected the students could spend more time and energy to do meaningful things and realize their values.
Finally, he called on students to train themselves in real scenarios. By doing so, they could enhance their skills and nurture their temperament, enjoy university life and achieve their dreams.
Pan Yishan awarded the flag to the military training regiment.
Yu Miaojie delivered a speech on military training mobilization. On behalf of the university, he extended a warm welcome to the instructor team, heartfelt thanks to the faculty and staff and cordial greetings to the freshmen in high spirits.
