To ensure a smooth orientation for new graduate students, the 6th session of the Responsible Management Class with Mentors and the 2024 Graduate Student Orientation Conference of the School of Business Administration (SBA) was held at 2:00 PM on September 12, 2024, in the Academic Lecture Hall of Wenquan Building. All graduate student advisors and the 2024 cohort of new graduate students participated in this event.
The event invited Professor Tian Bifei, a Ph.D. advisor from SBA, to deliver a special lecture on political thought for the new graduate students. Professor Tian has over 20 years of research experience in international business and international trade. The event was hosted by graduate student advisor Xu Yiling. Professor Tian emphasized that there are no shortcuts when it comes to journal writing or dissertations; the key to an excellent paper lies in its originality.
Ms. Lin Jing from the Reader Services Department of the University Library, along with the 2024 graduate student advisors Ms. Jiang Qianqian and Mr. Jiang Weimin from SBA, provided specialized guidance to all new students on topics such as library resource usage, graduate education and training management, mental health education, and safety education. The event was hosted by 2024 graduate student advisor Mr. Jiang Weimin.
As the first class for graduate students, this event aimed to help new students accelerate their transition through teacher-student dialogue. It further sought to guide students in developing a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of their graduate studies, building confidence in academic research, carefully planning their careers, and striving to enhance their research and practical abilities.
