On the morning of August 23rd at 9:00 am, more than 4800 undergraduate students, representatives of teachers and students, as well as some parents of new students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, gathered at the Huo Yingdong Sports Center on the Minhang campus. The new students wore the uniform of their respective colleges and jointly opened a youth chapter belonging to the new "Jiaotong adults".
Zhang Yuchong and Zhang Yuzhang, who graduated from Fudan Affiliated Middle School, are twin brothers. After the new students registered on campus yesterday, the vast campus and green grass filled the football loving brothers with many expectations for a rich and colorful campus life in the future. Brother Zhang Yuchong was admitted to the School of Mechanical, Electrical and Aerospace Engineering, while younger brother Zhang Yuchang is a freshman majoring in Physics at Zhiyuan College. The two brothers are divided into different dormitories. "How many people are there in the dormitory?" "Do you sleep on the upper or lower bunk?" "Where do your roommates come from?"... In addition to exchanging their experiences and feelings in the dormitory, while strolling around the campus at night, younger brother Zhang Yuchang also has a hint of confusion. "Next, no one will help me arrange what to do. I think this is a self-management ability that I need to improve in my future college life."

At today's opening ceremony, Principal Ding Kuiling's message made the new students present feel enlightened. "Exploring the unattainable realm of life, we should actively break through the limitations of our inherent cognition, dare to challenge and surpass ourselves, stimulate endogenous motivation, lay a solid academic foundation, and grasp the direction of progress, so as to embrace infinite possibilities and realize our life value." Principal Ding Kuiling sent a message to 2023 undergraduate students to stimulate their motivation for independent exploration with strong interest, deeply understand and establish a love for their major, and continuously explore their future development direction; To build a solid foundation for sustainable exploration with genuine talent and practical learning, we should not only deeply absorb the basic and professional knowledge of our discipline, but also expand our interdisciplinary perspective, establish a diverse knowledge reserve, and accumulate lasting energy for future innovation breakthroughs
Principal Ding Kuiling.
"For me, the starting point for exploring the unknown is to explore the unknown university life, starting from arranging the study time in university." Zhang Yuzhang told reporters that he will allocate a lot of study time on basic knowledge to strengthen his academic foundation; Secondly, spending a portion of my time on elective courses, understanding project topics, discovering my interests, and finding a good direction for my future will help me no longer feel lost; If I have spare energy, I would like to participate in more club activities to exercise my organizational and communication skills, and so on. "Choosing Jiaotong University is choosing a responsibility," said the freshman from Chongqing University of Electric Power. He had a lot of feelings about Principal Ding's words. He told reporters that at first, he believed that transitioning from a high school student to a college student was just an increase in academic qualifications, but now he feels that there is a transformation of taking responsibility. "Seize the moment, do the things in front of you well, and gradually put the responsibility on your shoulders bit by bit."
At the opening ceremony of undergraduate freshmen, students were listening attentively.
New student representative Xu Yuanyi, a 2023 undergraduate student from Antai College of Economics and Management, shared her story of becoming acquainted with Jiaotong University and her expectations for the university's learning and life. "In high school, many students take the college entrance examination as the endpoint, but in fact, this is just the starting point of a new journey." Xu Yuanyi said, "Principal Ding's speech left a deep impression on me. There was a senior sister who was only the last in her major when she first entered school, but through her unremitting efforts and firm determination, she became the first in her major. Therefore, we embrace infinite possibilities.". "As encouraged by our teachers, we must solidify our foundation and reach new heights on the new journey."

What are the goals of the new "Jiao Tong University students" in the face of unknown university life? Learning is still the top priority for many freshmen. Zhuang Hanzhi, a student from Antai College of Jiaotong University, said, "In terms of majors, I hope to delve into more professional fields beyond my professional studies, and draw knowledge from more outstanding senior students, senior sisters, and professors. In terms of activities, I hope to step out of my" comfort zone "and try more new things." Xu Yuening, on the other hand, expressed that in addition to studying, she hopes to get along well with roommates from all over the world and make more friends in interpersonal communication.
In the fourth canteen of Shanghai Jiaotong University, the reporter saw posters on the wall about "Clean Your Plate Campaign" and "Cherish Food". The reporter learned that in 2020, the school launched a measure of "Clean Your Plate Campaign": students upload a photo of "CD" to the campus card after dinner, and through AI identification, they can judge the food residue in the plate within one second. According to the degree of the CD, they can get points, accumulate a certain number of times, and have more preferential rewards.
