    Since August 23, many universities in Jiangsu have ushered in the "Meng Xin" in 2024. The old campus with rich background and the new campus with new appearance are full of vitality. When the freshmen step into the campus with their bags and longings, at this moment, it is both a dream come true and a new beginning.

    Go to your alma mater together, and strive for youth to meet here.

    What’s it like to be alumni with mom and dad? At the scene, some new students visited the campus with their parents who had studied and lived in the same school.

    "My father is more familiar with the Gulou Campus than I am. I live in Room 2 of Taoyuan, and he lived in Room 12 of Nanyuan." On the morning of 24th, in the Gulou Campus of Nanjing University, Ruiqi Luo from Korla, Xinjiang, took a walk with his father on campus as soon as he cleaned up his dormitory. "My father is a Nantah native. He has been telling me about Nantah since he was in primary school. Since then, I have had the desire to apply for NTU. " When volunteering, Ruiqi Luo chose NTU Intelligent System Integration Experimental Class without hesitation. In 1990, after graduating from the School of Earth Science and Engineering of Nanjing University, Luo Dad chose to return to Xinjiang to join the construction of the western region. After returning to his alma mater many years later, Mr. Luo and his son "searched for roots" in the Gulou campus. "I am in the northwest and my heart is in Nantah. I hope that children can study hard in Nantah and become pillars of society! "

    "This is Dongda Auditorium, which is the former Institute of Technology. We used to study in the evening here …" On the 24th, Hu Yonghua, who returned to her alma mater, introduced her daughter Hu Xiaoyu incessantly. He and his wife Zhu Ping are both alumni of Southeast University, and their daughter was admitted to the "English+Information Engineering" double-degree major this year. Coincidentally, Xu Jingheng, who studied in Nanjing No.29 Middle School with Hu Xiaoyu, was also admitted to this major, while Jamlom’s parents were alumni of Southeast University majoring in management science and engineering and regional economics in 2002.

    Returning to the campus with the children again, Xu Jingheng’s parents also recalled the lush years of that year. "At that time, I lived in Room 9, Wenchang, Sipailou Campus, and my wife’s dormitory was behind Liuyuan Hotel. At that time, I rode my bike from east to west with egg cakes to bring her breakfast every day …" Xu Dad said, smiling hard on his face. Xu Jingheng, who grew up listening to the "omelet story", designated Dongda as an ideal university in his freshman year of high school and kept fighting for it. "What touches me most is the unique cultural atmosphere of Dongda University. I hope to make more friends here and become a better self." Xu Jingheng said.

    Go back to the old campus to "seek roots" and go to the new campus to dream.

    Since Nanjing University started its "root-seeking school" in 2022, all the freshmen in the school have stayed in Gulou Campus. In Southeast University, 2,340 freshmen moved into the Sipailou campus this year, which is the first time in recent years that more than half of the freshmen reported to the campus.

    "Walking into the campus of Dongda University, walking into Wutong Avenue, what comes to my face is the profound cultural heritage!" "Have long heard of Neusoft Meian, finally saw it today. I hope that in the future, I can also’ chew the roots and do great things’. " During the welcome period, Southeast University opened the school history museum, Mei ‘an and Wu Jianxiong Memorial Hall, and carried out campus visits to let freshmen feel the cultural atmosphere of the 120 universities in the process of searching for the source. In front of Yongquanchi, the landmark building auditorium of Dongda University, the school also organized the activity of "Freshmen Parents Say". At the scene, freshmen and parents took the stage to express their wishes and hopes and cheer for a better future together. During the activity, freshmen also wrote a wish card "to themselves after four years" and sealed it for graduation.

    "Root-seeking" and "dream" are the key words on the day of registration. "We have noticed that many freshmen have special feelings for the Gulou Campus of Nantah. For example, Yang Zehao of Kaijia College, the first thing he did after reporting for the freshman training camp on August 19, was to punch in again with his photo taken with Peking University Building when he was 9 years old, thanking him for his fate with Nantah." Shi Jiahuan, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of NTU Freshmen College, told the reporter that the first year of college is a crucial period for freshmen to know the university, enter the discipline and start the future. Nanjing University has launched micro-resources for freshmen’s adaptive education, so that students can better integrate into the university, the city and the times. "Freshmen will set up their growth goals, understand the charm of the subject and find the right direction of their interests through the study of topics such as’ University and Mr. Da’,’ Adaptive Education for Freshmen’ and’ Yuhua Hong-the Power of Faith’." Shi Jiahuan said.

    In the brand-new Jiangnan University Jiangyin Xiakewan Campus, the first batch of 455 "Meng Xin" settled in. Simple architectural style and water landscape with Jiangnan flavor are in the same strain as those of Jiangnan University Headquarters and Yixing Graduate School, and various banners and signs welcoming new students can be seen everywhere. Freshmen of the School of Digital Technology and Creative Design also got many "small surprises"-from brand-new visual image design and visual expression based on college English abbreviations, to specially customized canvas bags and card sets, hand-drawn maps of Xiakewan Campus in Jiangyin, and to white paper fans that can be stamped, all of which reflect the sincerity and ingenuity of the college. "This university’ meeting ceremony’ is so interesting. I will study hard and hope to have my own design works in the future." Ding Wei, a freshman majoring in digital media art, said.

    Start new courses for new majors and cultivate new talents.

    The reporter learned that most of the freshmen in 2024 were born in 2006, and Southeast University welcomed the post-10 students.

    At the welcome scene of Dongda University, a 13-member "Xueba Group" attracted much attention. Tan Ruiqi from Fushun No.2 Middle School in Liaoning Province was the youngest of them. After three years in elementary school, two years in junior high school and two years in senior high school, Tan Ruiqi, who is only 14 years old, is the first post-10 s student in the history of Dongda University. "Learning itself is a very interesting thing. I enjoy every process of exploring the unknown, so I chose to take the college entrance examination in my second year of high school and want to invest the saved time in more creative university study." Tan Ruiqi said that when I was in primary school, portraits of scientists Qian Sanqiang and Li Siguang hung in the classroom, and I was moved after learning about their deeds. "I hope I can serve my country like them and be a useful person."

    When I first entered the campus, the dream of serving the country through science and technology was already in my heart. Just entering the Intelligent Manufacturing College of Jiangnan University (Junyuan College), freshman Song Zihan saw the robot that greeted them. "I liked robots very much when I was a child, and now I am very interested in new terms such as drones and autonomous driving. The Yangtze River Delta has a strong science and technology atmosphere, and I hope that I can also participate in the production of advanced robots in the future. "

    In order to cultivate future-oriented talents with new quality, many colleges and universities have implemented new training plans in the new semester. This autumn semester, the core course of artificial intelligence general education in Nanjing University, which has received much attention, officially set sail. The course is oriented to all freshmen, and through the knowledge system and training mode of deep integration of AI and various disciplines, AI literacy education is integrated into the training of top-notch innovative talents to help cultivate and develop new quality productivity. Southeast University has also created an action plan of "Artificial Intelligence+Education" for freshmen. Led by the Institute of Artificial Intelligence, the course of "Introduction to General Studies of Artificial Intelligence" has been built according to the categories of science, engineering, medicine and humanities, and an interdisciplinary virtual teaching and research section has been set up to serve the whole school’s "Artificial Intelligence +X" education, with 105 pilot projects.

    In Jiangnan University, the first four colleges that settled in Jiangyin Xiakewan Campus were officially unveiled on June 7 this year, further connecting industrial transformation and local economic development. Cao Ming, dean of the School of Digital Technology and Creative Design of the school, said that in order to meet the new needs of the industry, the design discipline of the school is being adjusted around intelligent technology and intelligent interaction. "For example, the curriculum design of digital media art majors is more inclined to interactive media and virtual interaction. Fashion design majors integrate smart wearable devices into teaching. In the overall curriculum system, the college will also join artificial intelligence courses for freshmen. " (Yang Pinping, Xie Shihan, Ye Zhen)
