The signing ceremony and farewell ceremony for the third batch of exchange students from our college to Russia was held on September 18 in Comprehensive Building 410. Relevant leaders and teachers from the International Cooperation and Exchange Office and the School of International Economics and Trade attended the farewell party.
The student exchange program between Russian students majoring in international economics and trade in our school and St. Petersburg University of Finance and Economics in Russia was officially launched in October 2011. The first two batches of exchange students overcame many difficulties in study and life, and their Russian language proficiency and professional abilities have been greatly improved. They have been fully recognized and praised by the Russian school leaders, teachers and students, and have won honors for the school. This year’s third batch of exchange students to Russia will depart on September 25.
At the farewell party, Director Wang Kai of the International Cooperation and Exchange Office first clarified the trend and significance of international exchanges among college students, analyzed the development prospects of Russian language and trade with Russia, and hoped that students going to Russia will strengthen their professional thinking and study hard. He also pointed out that as an outstanding student of the University of Finance and Economics, he represents the image of Jilin University of Finance and Economics and must have a high sense of honor and mission. He also reminded students to increase their awareness of safety precautions and make preparations in all aspects.
Professor Wang Yunfeng, the dean of our college, expressed his gratitude to the school and urged students who went to Russia to study in a foreign country to be mentally prepared to deal with various difficulties, to be self-reliant, to hone their will and quality, and to remember that the motherland, alma mater and teachers will always be their strong backing.
Teachers and students talked cordially at the farewell party. After carefully listening to the instructions and many valuable suggestions, the students going to Russia also expressed their gratitude to the International Cooperation and Exchange Office and the leaders of the college. They asked their alma mater to rest assured that they would cherish this rare opportunity, study hard, live up to the expectations of their alma mater and leaders, and repay their alma mater with excellent results.
Finally, Director Wang Kai and Dean Wang Yunfeng signed the "Agreement to Study in Russia" with four students on behalf of our school. The farewell party ended successfully in a warm atmosphere.
