On the morning of July 27, the Shaoxing Zhejiang University Alumni Association held its 2014 welcome‑for‑new‑students event at the “Alumni Home” in Shaoxing Yigao Plaza. Nearly 40 participants, including the class of 2014 graduates and alumni from previous years, attended the event, which was organized by the Shaoxing Zhejiang University Alumni Association and co‑hosted by the Alumni Home at Yigao Plaza.

At the orientation event, three distinguished alumni—Ren Guiquan, former director of the Shaoxing Party History Office; Chen Bailiang, chairman of Yuegong Group; and He Long, vice chairman of the Shaoxing Science and Technology Association—shared their professional journeys and life insights, encouraging their younger peers to set ambitious goals, take responsibility, endure hardship, and persevere. They urged them to courageously pursue their ideals and realize their full potential, offering a powerful dose of positive energy. Meanwhile, graduating student representatives also delivered heartfelt remarks, pledging to become better versions of themselves and to uphold, through concrete actions, the revered status of Zhejiang University in the hearts of all its alumni.

Shen Huangen, President of the Shaoxing Zhejiang University Alumni Association, outlined the association’s mission to “serve alumni, serve the alma mater, and serve society,” and expressed his sincere hope that, through alumni‑association activities, they could strengthen bonds among alumni in Shaoxing, foster positive energy, and create favorable conditions for entrepreneurial and innovative endeavors. He also earnestly encouraged this year’s graduating class to uphold Zhejiang University’s motto of “Seeking Truth and Pursuing Innovation,” to set ambitious goals while remaining grounded, to build a solid foundation through diligent effort, and to navigate their professional and personal journeys with confidence and purpose.

At the event, the graduating student representatives sang Zhejiang University’s alma mater together and participated in interactive games. The nearly four-hour orientation program was both engaging and lively, fostering a warm sense of camaraderie. Even after the welcome ceremony concluded, attendees lingered, chatting in small groups and exchanging stories, with the new alumni feeling that the Alumni Association truly is a “home for all alumni.”
