On behalf of the university, Liu Jian, vice-president of HIT, expressed three hopes for the students about to embark on practical training: First, recognize the position of the times and align with major national strategic needs. Second, focus on the core mission, be open-minded, and work diligently on production lines and commissioning sites. Third, uphold the tradition of the university motto and carry forward the collaborative spirit of HIT people in tackling key challenges together.
