On August 27, the university held a work planning meeting for Fall 2021, summarizing work in the first half of the year, studying and deploying the key work for the rest of the year as well as the next phase. Chairman Wang Jianguo of the university council, President Li Yanrong and all other university leaders attended the meeting.The main venue was set in Mingde building and the sub venue in the Basic Teaching building of Wangjiang campus.
Wang Jianguo summarized the university’s progress in the first half of the year and put forward work requirements for the second half of the year. He pointed out that in the first half of 2021, the university stayed focused and completed three major events and made new progress in five aspects. He stressed that there were many bright spots in the work of the university in the first half of the year, but there were worries and warning signs in the meantime, which requires us to not only look vertically, but also take the initiative to make horizontal comparison. We should not only have the schemes but also try our best to promote the implementation. Currently, the development of the “double first-class” status has entered a new stage, and the university is at a crucial point to catch up and overtake. Our cadres, teachers and students should become good at turning the direction into ideas, ideas into methods, methods into practices, practices into results. They need to overcome difficulties, be brave in scaling the heights, and comprehensively promote the "two greatness" of the university.
In his speech, Li Yanrong further analyzed the new situation of the university. He noted that the university is confronted with a new development situation and more fierce competition compared with the first half of the year. Universities across the country have made rapid progress and their core competitiveness has improved rapidly after the development of the “double first-class” project phase I. Therefore, we must look at our own progress and development from the perspective of domestic first-class universities, and further raise our standards and broaden our horizons. He pointed out that in the second half of the year, our core is still to comprehensively improve the "three values" (the beauty of the campus, the morale of students and the value of scientific research), focusing on seven aspects. We should do the following: first, constantly carry out in-depth study and education in the history of the CPC; second, adhere to the fundamental task of upholding morality and cultivating people, and improve the quality of first-class talent training; third, further strengthen the development of high-end talent team; fourth, vigorously promote scientific and technological innovation; fifth, fully implement the university's 14th“five-year plan", continue to do a good job in the fifth round of discipline evaluation, and start the second round of "double first-class" development; sixth, improve the management and service level and continuously better the working, learning and living conditions of teachers, students and staff; and finally, do well in the preparations for the 125th anniversary of the university and the hosting of the 17th "Challenge Cup" national college students competition in order to showcase the characteristics of Sichuan University, display the good image of the university, and boost our social popularity and influence.
