In order to ensure the smooth and orderly enrollment of new students in 2024, the institute took this work seriously and made sound preparations for welcoming new students with a positive and prudent attitude, pushing forward with it with care and consideration.
The preparations for welcoming new students were planned carefully. The institute has held a number of meetings to formulate scientific work plans. It also set up a leading group, clarifying the division of labor and responsibilities to ensure that each step was feasible, safe and well-organized, and the meticulous services could bring comfort and convenience. All colleges and functional departments responded positively to the working arrangements. They collaborated actively and performed their duties conscientiously to make students get a grand, safe and civilized welcome, and enjoy comprehensive and considerate services at the same time.
The issues about college life were introduced carefully in advance. In order to help the freshmen 2024 familiarize themselves with the campus quickly, gain an in-depth understanding of the features of their majors, promote the cohesion and enhance the sense of belonging, SCIT has built online interactive platforms to serve the new students and educate them. It used the QQ groups for new students, the WeChat official accounts and the E-Class platform to open online classes on a variety of topics, such as the ideal on the convictions, the patriotic education, the rules and regulations of SCIT, the features of different majors, the legal and safety education, etc. These efforts brought the new students and SCIT closer, and helped them learn more about the institute in the first place and get tips about how to handle issues at college, which enabled them to embrace the identity change and integrate into university life better.
A heartwarming orientation atmosphere was created carefully. The institute has hung a number of banners, which showed its expectations on the new students, on the main roads of the campus and it also made various colorful 3D poster boards. All these things kept conveying an extremely warm welcome to the new students, sowing the “seeds” of warmth and hope in their hearts to help them embrace the unknown university life. New students and their parents took photos to keep precious memories on campus. Not only was the on-site layout innovative, but the institute also distributed new gift bags to the new students, and these practical E-class related products, ranging from notebooks, small fans, postcards to canvas bags, surprised the students a lot.
Considerate services were provided to make students arrive at SCIT safe and sound. In order to guarantee the smooth registration of new students, the institute has set up pick-up spots at Luojiang High-speed Railway Station and Luojiang Bus Station, and all the supplies were in place. There were personnel assigned to directly send the new students and their parents to the campus with contracted vehicles. On campus, shuttle buses were ready to offer services free of charge. They continuously commuted between reception blocks and student dormitories during the orientation period. In addition, the institute provided basic health care services for the new students. The personnel, assigned to be on duty at the orientation sites, were in charge of supplying first-aid medicines and heatstroke prevention drugs.
