The graduation ceremony of Shanghai universities has arrived early, and the 2022 and 2023 editions will be arranged together. This month, you will be the most favored student | The Bund | Shanghai University Graduation Ceremony
As a graduate of the 2022 cohort last year and currently working at Jintiancheng Law Firm in Shanghai, Cecilia Tohuti and her family crossed about 4000 kilometers to embark on a youthful promise.
Originally, she thought that last summer's hasty departure would become an eternal regret, but when she received a letter from Shanghai University of Political Science and Law titled "A Letter to the 2022 Graduates", she was still extremely excited and immediately booked her flight, flying to Shanghai in the early hours of the same day. She strolled through the lush campus again, listening to her teacher's teachings again. As the tassel on her degree cap was pulled from the right to the left, it seemed like college life had finally come to a complete end, and she set off again with the blessings and strength given by her alma mater.
The graduation ceremony of Shanghai universities has just passed on weekends, and the 2022 and 2023 editions will be arranged together. "There are too many surprises," "the school is so skilled," and "noodles"... From Qingpu and Songjiang to the university campuses in Pudong, there is not enough food to eat, endless music to listen to, and uninterrupted photos... This month, the most beloved one is none other than you... "
On the evening of June 10th, after the clouds and rain, bright lights and blessings appeared one after another in the windows of the Bund, a landmark building along the Huangpu River. This was the first time that the Bund had lit up a large screen for political graduates.
That night, students from Shanghai University of Political Science and Law who spontaneously went to the Bund cheered and wrote on their social media: "From all corners of the world, to the north and south, to the starry sea, going to politics will always be home!" "On this night, the shawl of neon lights, the coronation of lightning and heavy rain, the seniors and sisters, happy graduation!" All of these played the prelude to the sparkling stars for the graduation ceremony.
In order to fulfill the promise of the summer of 2022 and make up for the missed autumn of 2022, the school has invited all 2022 graduates and parents to attend this year's graduation ceremony. This is also the first time that the school has held two graduation ceremonies in which students jointly participate. Principal Liu Xiaohong sent a message to all graduates: "We hope that graduates will maintain a fighting attitude, dare to think and act, overcome difficulties with diligence and dedication; inspire the power of youth, do well and succeed, and create a future in upholding righteousness and innovation; shoulder the responsibility of the times, be down-to-earth, and practice hard work to achieve success."
During the graduation ceremony, there were two special interludes during the plucking stage. Liu Xiaohong walked off the podium twice to crown the plucking stage for two special classmates. One of them is Pan Yixin, a 2022 graduate who is currently pursuing a graduate degree in Huazheng and is a disabled and determined student. The principal bent down to straighten his crown and pluck his ears, and warmly wished him a happy graduation. The other is a graduate who had to attend the graduation ceremony in a wheelchair due to an accidental fracture.
On site, Ge Weihua, Secretary of the School Party Committee, presented an appointment letter to the representatives of the "2023 Alumni Ambassador", hoping to further strengthen the connection between the alma mater and graduates through the "Alumni Ambassador" bridge and link, and build a platform for emotional communication and alumni service between the school and alumni. This graduation ceremony also marks the first time that "Graduation Donation" has been launched. Long press the identification QR code, log in, and register to make voluntary and small graduation donations, contributing to the growth and development of younger students.
From barbecue, lobster to ice cream, the "Shangzheng Flavor" graduation market event has also made its debut on campus for the first time. More than 40 tent stalls and rooftop tables and chairs have been set up, and a variety of cultural performances have been arranged. Many stalls are lined with long lines and in short supply. Not only is there delicious food on the tip of Shangzheng's tongue, but also public welfare sales of Shangzheng's cultural and creative products, day and night
Jiefang Daily's Shangguan News reporter learned that at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, a total of 2838 2023 graduates, 866 2022 alumni, and parents attended this warm graduation ceremony, which was full of "first time", leaving behind a youthful and exciting concerto. Among them, the family of Sun Zhetao, a 2023 graduate student who is about to study at the University of Sydney, specially formed a group to attend their child's graduation ceremony.
As he watched the child in his bachelor's uniform, Sun's father was filled with emotions: "From feeling the school's thoughtful arrangements when sending the child to politics four years ago, to preparing for graduation season activities with great care and emotion as we bid farewell, we accompanied the child throughout the entire journey to watch the most romantic confession on the Bund of politics, tasted the taste of memories on campus, and even participated in the Grassland Music Festival, which deepened our relationship with our alma mater."
Coincidentally, the 2023 graduation ceremony of Shanghai Foreign Studies University also kicked off at the Songjiang campus recently. 3120 2023 graduates, over 200 2022 alumni, and 1100 parents witnessed this youth feast together.
