On the morning of September 27th, 2022, the first plenary meeting of the 5th Management Committee of Material Advantage (MA) WUT Chapter was held in the Lecture Hall of Xiyuan Library on West Mafangshan Campus. The meeting was attended by Chen Fei, Vice Dean of the International School of Materials Science and Engineering and MA advisor, Mu Zhao, director of research office, Tang Hui, MA advisor, and all members of the Management Committee. It was hosted by Lu Jiaqi, the president of the 5th MA WUT Chapter.

First of all, President Lu Jiaqi briefed the work of the MA Chapter in 2021-2022, and congratulated the MA WUT chapter for winning the 2021-2022 Chapter of Excellence Award for five consecutive years.

During the meeting, members of the management committee discussed in depth the construction of an information platform, international exchange and personalized curriculum, airing concerns over the cultivation model of top innovative talents with an international vision and proposing new measures and new paths for the international development of MA charters in the era of “great changes” quoted from President Xi of China. Mr. Chen Fei suggests that in future development we should always center on the purpose and constitution of MA, practice internationalization, enhance a all-round international vision, especially in the cultivation of international talents. Multi-level international cooperation and multi-dimensional cultural activities should be promoted to strive to “dance with global students and resonate with the new era of science and technology” (based on the quote from the 20^thCPC National Congress Report).

Finally, President Lu Jiaqi summarized the meeting, sorted out the work in the next stage, and explained the connotation of elite training in materials disciplines. With close cooperation of all parties, we hope that the MA WUT Charter will grow bigger and stronger, become a model system and experienced benchmark, and achieve further glory!
