In particular, we have been publicizing and recognizing the outstanding members by electing “the most influential graduate” and “the role model around us” as well as by setting up and printing special issues of the newspapers of our school, our newspaper, for those who are awarded national or the university president’s scholarships, all of which have played a positive role in motivating all our League members to set clear objectives and then work unremittingly to attain them. In addition, our school has been paying close attention to students’ ideological changes while trying to correct anything wrong the moment it arises, so as to help every young students build up correct views of the world and life as well as proper values.

Volunteering has also become a major theme for the Day of Youth League Activities as well as for social practice with increasingly regular and colorful activities. For example, our students have volunteered their services in such major events as the anniversaries of the founding of our university, Games for University Students, the 2nd U.S.-China Cities Forum on Economic Cooperation and Asian Youth Games Nanjing 2013, by making full use of their advantages in language particularly, whose work has been fully recognized by relevant sponsors.

Specifically, information in all aspects is updated timely in www. renren.com (a social networking site) and The magazine of our school, both of which have also become the platform where outstanding activities, classes and individuals can display themselves. The office in the dormitory area, which is decorated according to the opinions and suggestions of all our students, is open to all of them on the basis of standard management. Message pads and tips are left in the dormitory area, thus the convenience of communication. The lecture hall in our school is open for our students to prepare for final examinations at the end of the semester when they can find few empty seats in the library or classrooms. By those measures above we hope that every student may live and study in the warm family of our School, and that more and more of them may learn to enjoy, understand and love their life.
