Why did Yangtze University build Wuhan campus? There are historical reasons for this. In fact, the campus is not a temporary motion or a whim to build Wuhan. As early as the 1990s, the former Jianghan Petroleum Institute clearly felt that there was a big problem in the stability of high-level talents. It had planned to open a school window in Wuhan, but it was shelved due to school transfer and management system reform. In 2002, the relevant leaders of Hubei Provincial Department of Education, entrusted by the provincial party committee and government, came to Jingzhou several times to discuss the merger of universities in Beijing, and reached an agreement with the leading bodies of four universities, including Jianghan Petroleum Institute, that it was necessary to build a campus in Wuhan, and issued a document to confirm it. Therefore, the motion to build a Wuhan campus has long been confirmed, and it is nothing new. According to the relevant spirit, Yangtze University strengthens the construction of its headquarters on the one hand, and seriously demonstrates the site selection and construction scheme of Wuhan campus on the other. The school invested nearly 654.38 billion yuan in Jingzhou for the construction of campus and teaching facilities. The construction of Wuhan campus is a supplement and strengthening of the headquarters, and will not shake Jingzhou's position as the main school.
Yangtze University, as the largest comprehensive university jointly established by the central government and Hubei Province, has more than twice as many students as 1.5 or even other universities. There are many disciplines and a huge academic team, so it is especially necessary to have a "lookout" with a broad academic vision. Second, Yangtze University's dominant disciplines mainly serve and exchange outside the province, so it needs a convenient and high-level platform to exchange and attract talents. Third, the scale of scientific research in our school is large, with hundreds of research results every year, which requires a good exchange and cooperation environment and a platform for R&D, incubation and promotion. Fourth, for decades, the original campus of Yangtze University has been a headache for the stability of talents. The cost of stabilizing talents is extremely high, but the effect is extremely poor. Fifth, it is also the need for schools to participate in the development competition of colleges and universities.
Wuhan Campus of Yangtze University is mainly used for key disciplines and laboratory construction, high-tech research and development, petroleum high-tech training and promotion, transformation of scientific and technological achievements, postgraduate education and high-level academic exchanges. We don't run an undergraduate course, and we don't have enough funds to build such a grand teaching facility in Wuhan.
The school believes that Wuhan Campus is not only the school window of Yangtze University, but also the science and education window of Jingzhou City in Wuhan. It is also a beautiful business card for Jingzhou's foreign exchange, which plays an important role in promoting Jingzhou, enhancing its popularity and attracting more high-level talents for its social and economic development. There are high-level experts when they grow up, and they are also high-level experts in Jingzhou; The grown-up team has stabilized, and it has also stabilized talents for Jingzhou. We are convinced that Yangtze University will play a strong supporting role for the rapid rise of Jingzhou.
For a long time, the construction and development of Yangtze University has been strongly supported by Jingzhou Municipal Committee and Municipal Government. Without the support of the municipal government, there would be no growth today. Secretary Deming personally called on the grown-up to bid for the World Expo, and the municipal government gave the green light for the construction of the grown-up, which was almost responsive. The school has been sharing the same fate with Jingzhou, striving to make its own contribution to the economic and social development of Jingzhou. Yangtze University has signed strategic cooperation agreements with public security, Shashi, Jiangling and other counties and cities, and many high-tech enterprises founded by school scientific and technological personnel have also settled in Jingzhou Development Zone, and achieved remarkable results. In the future, Yangtze University will, as always, adhere to relying on Jingzhou, based on Jingzhou, and strive to serve the development of Jingzhou. This purpose will remain unchanged.
