free upon admission
the school anniversary gift package brings out the "atmosphere"
this year, sun yat-sen university's orientation activities are themed "a century of inheritance, a new journey together", and are organized around the historical node of the university's centenary celebration. the university has arranged banners for welcoming new students at the main entrances of the guangzhou campus, including the south gate, east gate, and north gate. the banner "century sun yat-sen university, mountains high and rivers long, warmly welcome new students" is hung, and a sun yat-sen university "century anniversary" cultural and creative product booth is set up in the east district.
the school prepared a safety education package for each freshman, including a creative canvas bag and a campus safety guide, all printed with the 24-hour emergency helpline numbers of the three campuses and five campuses. in terms of design, the canvas bags have been completely upgraded and are divided into four styles: "all is fair in war", "intimacy", "innocence", and "no disaster for two children", corresponding to anti-fraud, anti-espionage, anti-evil, and fire prevention, respectively.
on the morning of that day, some cultural and sports student clubs held a "carnival" activity to welcome freshmen, showing their club style to freshmen through stage performances, activity experiences, check-in stamp collection, etc. that night, the school held a "music for you"-a campus music performance activity to welcome freshmen, showing campus music works and using diverse music forms to let freshmen and their parents feel the rich artistic atmosphere and cultural vitality of cuhk.
one stop to the end
building a new student community
in order to better serve the freshmen, cuhk has made a new plan and layout for the dormitories for the class of 2024, basically realizing concentrated accommodation for first-year undergraduates and facilitating communication and interaction among first-year students.
in light of the actual situation of concentrated training for first-year students, the school has promoted the establishment of dormitory culture construction projects in the student community and designed a new theme cultural wall and cultural corridor, so that freshmen can feel the cultural traditions of kangleyuan (south campus) from the moment they move in, experience the spiritual heritage of cuhk’s century-old history, and retain common cuhk memories.
in addition, full-time party and government counselors and part-time counselors for graduate students also move into the "one-stop" student community to eat, live, study, and grow with students, and carry out activities such as ideological guidance, academic studies, mental health, safety education, labor education, and aesthetic education during the freshmen's period on campus.
psychological escort
carry out psychological education during military training
college is a critical period for shaping an independent personality and forming a life, values and world view. since 2017, the cuhk mental health education and counseling center has continued to provide mental health support for freshmen. during the orientation season this year, the school gave each freshman a notebook titled "new heart journey·getting through", and will conduct mental health education courses during the freshman military training.
sun yat-sen university, with its profound historical heritage and unique architectural style, deeply attracts every student and visitor. wei yangge, a freshman from the school of foreign languages, said: "the traditional architecture with red walls and green tiles gives me a feeling of 'traveling through time and space'. here, i can walk the path that the predecessors walked, as if i can see lu xun teaching here and feel the original intention of mr. sun yat-sen to establish the school."
xue youjia, a freshman from indonesia, told reporters that she came to china to study in order to receive high-quality higher education and chose zhongda because it is known as the "tsinghua university and peking university of guangdong." she will use the time before school starts to prepare fully and "try to learn the extremely difficult chinese advanced mathematics well."
