Liu Zhenni, General Manager of the Operations Center, and Li Kai, Deputy General Manager, gave a detailed overview of the company’s development history, product applications, research and innovation, public services, international cooperation, and union initiatives.

In doing so, it will contribute both to the professional success of alumni and to the School’s mission of advancing talent cultivation, discipline development, and social engagement—achieving shared progress through enduring alumni connections.
