CWU Holds 18th Talk in 'A Date with a President' Series

China Women's University (CWU) held its 18th event in the series of talks titled "Listening to Your Heart, Talking about Growth: A Date with a President" at Shuiyu Cafe on June 7. 

CWU vice-president Song Shengju participated in the event, leading a conversation with 10 students from different schools and departments. 

In more than two hours of discussion, combined with her own academic experience, Song patiently answered students' questions towards cross-disciplinary undergraduate education, and tips on choosing an employment direction. 

Song highlighted the significance of daily hard work and effective academic arrangement, and pointed out that college students should set clear goals and strive for them when they decide to become a postgraduate or find a job. They also should establish the correct outlook on life, recognize the importance of self-discipline, be strict with themselves, seize opportunities, and make the right choices. 

Song carefully listened to students' opinions on the university's construction of hardware facilities, the opening hours of the study hall, the infrastructure and service of the school clinic, and the specific procedure for students' staying at school during the summer vacation. 

Combined with the CWU's actual situation, Song promised to communicate with relative functional departments, and meet teachers' and students' demands as far as possible. 

Song fully affirmed students' active attitudes towards the university's activities and their senses of ownership, and praised their creative ideas on their own career plans and the university's construction. She hoped that students could keep their feet on the ground, define their correct life goals, and make unremitting efforts to realize the value of life.
