The 2022 Opening Ceremony for our new cohort of Glasgow College, UESTC & Glasgow College Hainan, UESTC students was held on the morning of 28th August in UESTC Hall, Qingshuihe Campus.

A historic first for those joining the new Glasgow College Hainan, UESTC, the event opened with some traditional Scottish Highland Dancing in honor of our award-winning China-Scotland educational partnership and its continued success. Dean Zeng Bing noted in his speech that this year the school welcomed its 10th class of students to Glasgow College, UESTC. Quite an achievement!
UoG Deputy Vice-Chancellor Rachel Sandison, and Dean of Glasgow College, UESTC, Professor Zeng Bing, gave encouraging speeches to formally welcome the new students and to motivate them to kickstart an inspiring university life. All those who spoke described an international vision of hard work and discovery, building on the rich scientific research experience of College staff. In one particularly touching section of the ceremony, students sealed letters detailing their hopes for the future into envelopes, only to be opened in 4 years time when they graduate. The event ended with everyone singing My Motherland and Me.
