"everyone line up and come and get it in turn!" on the first day of school, the photo printing area of "i took a family photo for freshmen" at hangzhou business school of zhejiang gongshang university was crowded with people, and everyone lined up in an orderly manner to get their own "family photo". many students and parents held unique photos with hangzhou business school in their hands, and they all sighed, "the school is so thoughtful, there is a special person in charge of taking photos", "this is the first family photo of our family", "this family photo is very meaningful"... in the form of "family portrait", hangzhou business school freezes the first beautiful moment of college life for every freshman.
it turns out that all this stems from a message from a senior student on the hangzhou business school campus platform: "i'm about to graduate, and i really hope to go back to the moment when i first entered the school gate and take a photo with my parents at the university. it feels very memorable." this simple and plain wish quickly resonated with everyone, and many people shared their stories in the comment area. "four years ago, i took a train with my parents for a day and a night to rush from gansu to the school to register, but i didn't take a single photo at the time. now i'm about to graduate, and i haven't taken a photo with my family at school." "yes! can we do such a project this year? it feels very meaningful." the students' messages attracted widespread attention.
after learning about this situation, hangzhou business school took immediate action. in early august, the school issued an online call for applications, and more than 100 senior students signed up. these seniors love photography and video production, and hope to leave the most precious memories for the freshmen. in the end, the school student office selected 36 students with the most relevant photography experience and enthusiasm for photography to form the "i take family portraits for freshmen" photography team. they also specially invited several experienced professional photography teachers from outside the school to tailor a series of training courses for the team members through a combination of "online theoretical explanation + offline practical exercises" and carried out a 5-day targeted training. online, the teachers explained the basic knowledge of photography, composition rules, light application and other core skills in an easy-to-understand way; offline, the team members were organized to walk out of the classroom and into every corner of the campus to conduct field shooting exercises, combining theory with practice and continuously improving everyone's shooting level.
on the first day of the new students' registration at hangzhou business school, the photography team members all wore armbands with the words "do you need a photo? please call me" to provide photography services for the new students. from 7:00 to 18:00, the members overcame the scorching heat to take "family portraits" for each new student, and printed the photos for free on the spot to give to the new students and their parents.
according to statistics, the number of families participating in the photo shoot on that day reached 364, with more than 600 photos. the freshmen of hangzhou business school in 2024 come from 19 provinces across the country, and many students come here to study from guizhou, henan, gansu, and guangdong. at the event, the freshmen smiled, closely attached to their parents, brothers and sisters, and faced the camera together, leaving their first photo at the starting point of their university life. precious family photos record the starting point of a new stage in the children's life, and also leave behind the warm time spent with their families. it is also a reflection of the school's warm and caring service and its dedication to educating people.
"i was surprised and very happy that the school would take a family photo for us on the first day of school. my hometown is nearly 2,000 kilometers away from here. this photo can be taken home by my family, which is very memorable." a law freshman from liaoning said that due to his busy studies, he rarely took photos with his family after growing up. this activity is an opportunity to get closer to his family. parents also said that their families were worried about their children coming to a university so far away from home, but they felt relieved when they saw the warm activities and lively atmosphere here.
li xia, director of the student affairs office of hangzhou business school, zhejiang gongshang university, said that taking a "family portrait" for freshmen is not only an important measure for the school to welcome freshmen warmly, but also the "first lesson of the school year" to guide freshmen to learn to be grateful. the student affairs office will continue to actively provide various warm services, hoping that freshmen can integrate into hangzhou business school as soon as possible and start a new university journey.
