Prof. YANG pointed out that the challenge of ensuring epidemic prevention and control measures were carried out should be the driving force for university reform and development, and talent training ability should be further promoted. The university should adhere to bottom-line thinking, student-oriented principles, and do a good job in the employment of graduates while following the overall situation of the epidemic and ensure the safety and health of teachers and students. He stressed that USTB should stick to the principles of “planning for the overall situation, making long-term goals, and implementing innovative models”, based on the development of the university as a “double first-class” institution. Finally, USTB should maintain the high quality of graduates, educational standards and employment results, so as to fully benefit students, parents and society.
