In such a good period of rapid development and construction, students will be excited and proud to come to Jiujiang Vocational College for further study and to study in a university full of bright development prospects.
Students, it is true that you studied hard for ten years in the cold window and three years in Chunhua. University is a gas station in the journey of life, and it is very important to cultivate and improve everyone's political quality, moral standard and scientific and cultural knowledge. You are in the prime of life, so you must cherish your hard-won achievements and learning opportunities, and cherish your beautiful youth and bright future. I want to take this opportunity to put forward some hopes and demands to you, so that students can succeed in their studies within three years and shape themselves into useful talents for society.
I hope you study hard and learn to study.
Our xx University is a vocational college, which trains high-quality technical and management applied talents who are proficient in various practical skills and can quickly join the production line after graduation. This is one of the remarkable characteristics that distinguish us from ordinary colleges and universities. All the students sitting here, from the moment they step into the school gate, should always keep this in mind and work hard towards this goal. Stepping into a new school is a new starting point in your life, and the time you will spend in xx is also a crucial stage in your life, which needs to be doubly cherished. What you learned in primary and secondary schools is only very basic knowledge and ability, and there are still many things in your life that are crucial to your career success. Therefore, students must establish lofty ideals, study hard and develop in an all-round way. In the new century, new knowledge emerges one after another, and the cycle of knowledge updating is getting shorter and shorter, and the speed is getting faster and faster. The development of the world and the sense of urgency of the times urge us not to slack off. This requires us to learn to learn. Learning ability is a basic ability of high-quality talents in 2 1 century. As toffler, the author of The Third Wave, pointed out, the future illiterates are not illiterate people, but people who have not learned to learn. After ten years of cold window, the concept of lifelong benefit has been eliminated by the new era. Learning to learn is known as a personal passport in the era of knowledge economy. As students of xx University, they must study creatively, learn new knowledge, learn new methods, keep pace with the times and keep up with the development needs of the times. At present, your first task is to realize the transformation from middle school to university as soon as possible, and study actively, actively and be the main body of learning.
Second, I hope you have the motivation and determination to innovate. Everything is established in advance. If you don't anticipate it, you will waste it. You should dare to aim at success and work hard for it.
Only in this way, your college life will be richer and more substantial; Only in this way can you improve your life; Only in this way can you continue to write a new chapter along the glorious history of vocational colleges. At the same time, as young people in the new century, you should deeply realize that innovation is an inexhaustible motive force and source for the development of a country, a nation and a school. A nation without innovation is a nation without hope, and a country without innovation will be eliminated by history. It is the sacred duty of university education and the fundamental starting point of education to meet the challenge of knowledge economy and cultivate talents with innovative consciousness and creativity. Talents in 2 1 century must have innovative consciousness and creativity, which is one of the most important qualities of high-quality talents in the era of knowledge economy. As Puxi, president of Harvard University, said: Whether a person has creativity is the watershed between first-class talents and third-rate talents. Now, our school has cultivated a good atmosphere and created good conditions in this respect. This requires students to dare to be unconventional, break away from convention, be good at reverse thinking, forge ahead, and truly become innovative talents that conform to the development of the times!
Third, I hope you will respect civilization and unite and help each other. Modern society is a civilized society, and you should be a model of advocating civilization.
Civilization should start from small things, start from me and consciously abide by the rules and regulations of the college. Through entrance education and military training, students' concept of organizational discipline has been strengthened. I hope you can continue to maintain and carry forward this fine style and bring it to your future study and life. As the saying goes, without rules, there would be no Fiona Fang! Our xx is a strict and disciplined school. Strictly observing school rules and disciplines is the most basic requirement for every student. A good study atmosphere and a civilized living environment are very important for your growth and progress. Most of the students are out of the house for the first time and live this kind of collective life for the first time. In the face of such changes, I hope everyone must strengthen the spirit of collectivism and the concept of organizational discipline, and learn to tolerate others. Whether it is a school, a class or a dormitory, it is a collective. If you live in a group, you can't just think for yourself everywhere. Instead, we should focus on the overall situation, unite our classmates, help them and jointly create a good study and living environment.
Students, today you are fragrant peaches and plums, and tomorrow you will be the pillars of the motherland. Opportunities always favor people who are prepared, new semester, new starting point. As long as you are diligent, realistic and enterprising, with dedication, happiness and entrepreneurial attitude, self-esteem, self-love, self-improvement and self-reliance, you will definitely become qualified talents needed by the party and the country!
Finally, I wish the students academic progress, good health and happy life!
Thank you!
Speech by the President of the University at the Opening Ceremony of Freshmen 2 Dear freshmen:
Good evening, everyone! Welcome to Zhejiang University! Your arrival has brought new vitality to the Centennial Autumn Garden.
Students, stepping into the university gate means that everyone has opened a new stage of life. As Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, said, "Education is not to instill the mind, but to ignite the mind". College life is to ignite your constant exploration, let your enthusiasm and interest follow your study, and lead you to open a wonderful and broad world. When entering the university, the first thing to do is to look at yourself, find your inner passion and creativity, get rid of the dependence on the traditional learning path, and turn from "passive learning" to "autonomous learning" to become a college student who loves learning, knows how to learn and can learn.
Zhejiang University is a school that allows everyone to promote all-round development through autonomous learning. Zhejiang University will give you a brand-new learning experience and provide more space for autonomous learning. In Zhejiang University, we advocate the concept of educating people with both ability and political integrity and all-round development. Everyone can make all-round progress in morality, intelligence, physique and beauty through personalized and autonomous learning, and form global competitiveness. At Zhejiang University, we advocate the substantial integration of the four classes. You can listen to famous teachers in the first class, engage in scientific research and innovation in the second class, engage in social practice in the third class and participate in international exchanges in the fourth class. At Zhejiang University, we promote the innovative interaction of classroom education, large-scale open online course teaching, mobile learning and network platform. Everyone can independently confirm their professional direction, choose their own training courses, and grasp their own learning progress. More importantly, Zhejiang University can transform your role from a traditional learner to an innovative learner, and build lifelong autonomous learning ability. To this end, I want to share some thoughts with my classmates on the topic of autonomous learning.
As an effective way of self-improvement, autonomous learning awakens curiosity and imagination, guides learners to have a deep dialogue with themselves, learns self-cognition, self-management, self-motivation and self-education, and makes learning a happy process of acquiring knowledge, improving ability, cultivating quality and shaping personality. This is highly consistent with our KAQ2.0 education system. Both of them point to the internal development needs of learners, advocate the "four-in-one knowledge-ability-quality-personality" and emphasize innovative learning.
First, I hope everyone can accumulate rich knowledge through independent study. Autonomous learning refers to interest-driven, which expresses learners' expectation of acquiring profound knowledge and deepening self-cognition. The school is vigorously promoting general education, professional education and cross-training to guide everyone to fully understand the depth and breadth of knowledge. Students should have a deep understanding of the development connotation of holistic education, make clear their learning objectives, be firm in their learning actions, establish a broad and profound knowledge structure in experiencing general education, and learn the comprehensive thinking mode in experiencing interdisciplinary training, so as to finally form extensive knowledge, in-depth cognition and cross-border experience.
Second, I hope everyone can exercise their excellent abilities through independent study. Autonomous learning highlights the excellent orientation and points out the direction for learners to improve their constructive ability and optimize their self-management. The school is speeding up the construction of a first-class undergraduate major with quality as the core, creating a brand-new learning space and leading everyone to fully feel the fun and effectiveness of autonomous learning. Students should actively expand the positive role of the Internet, overcome the fragmentation of time, avoid indulging in the Internet, construct new wisdom and methodology in the in-depth study of first-class majors, learn to think, learn to criticize and learn to choose in the innovative development of new learning spaces, and finally form insight into forecasting trends, creativity in integrating resources, and leadership in grasping the overall situation.
Third, I hope everyone can cultivate all-round quality through independent study. Autonomous learning highlights the sense of innovation and emphasizes the significance of interactive learning and self-motivation to learners. The school is steadily promoting the practice of educating all staff, cooperating with the education and teaching in the fourth classroom, creating a cross-opening learning atmosphere, improving the management service mode of the academy, and helping everyone fully appreciate the tolerance and charm of the model demonstration. Students should strive to get rid of the inherent concept of traditional learning, learn from practice, life and advanced learning, enthusiastically participate in social practice and community activities, cultivate humanities literacy in the collaborative education between teachers and alumni, cultivate moral sentiments in the mutual learning with friends and classmates, and finally form a calm and capable temperament, an open and inclusive mind, and a resolute and courageous character.
Fourth, I hope everyone can cultivate a sound personality through autonomous learning. Autonomous learning embodies the pursuit of value and carries the ideal of learners serving human development and realizing the feelings of home and country. The school is fully implementing the global open development strategy, strengthening international training, and carrying out ideological and political education in the new period, requiring everyone to fully understand the belief and responsibility of patriotism for the people. Students should take the initiative to improve the application skills of self-education, link personal growth with national rejuvenation and human development, establish good behavior quality in understanding China's characteristics and world-class, adhere to the correct value orientation in shouldering the responsibility of the times and historical mission, and finally form introspection instinct, consciousness of caring for life and belief in serving the society.
Students, learning ability is the basic ability for human beings to survive in the future, and autonomous learning is the core ability for everyone to achieve Excellence. UNESCO put forward the goal of "achieving inclusive, fair and high-quality education for all and lifelong learning" in the Education 2030 Action Framework, which is based on autonomous learning. We advocate autonomous learning in the hope that students will explore the source of education that respects life and provide more educational experiences based on wisdom creation, cooperation and meaning construction, so that everyone can fully feel the happiness of knowledge acquisition, ability improvement, quality cultivation and personality shaping in autonomous learning.
Finally, I wish all students can move from autonomous learning to Excellence in Zhejiang University and achieve their own bright future!
Thank you!
