各位2025級新同學(xué)，尊敬的老師們，學(xué)校全體管理、服務(wù)團(tuán)隊，以及各位尊敬的家長和來賓：
大家上午好！今天我的致辭面向全體信息科大人，特別是即將在這里開啟全新人生篇章的近5900名本科和研究生新生們。
又到了北京一年最好的季節(jié)。在這個滿載希望的收獲季節(jié)，歡迎大家來到北京信息科技大學(xué)美麗的沙河校園。如果你是新生，那我要對你說：“恭喜！”你已經(jīng)成功“通關(guān)”高考，“上岸”研考，邁出了非常重要的一步，進(jìn)入了一個充滿可能性的階段。從今天開始，這個校園會成為你探索真理、培養(yǎng)技能和塑造個性的地方。而如果你是返校的師生，我要說：“歡迎回來！”在主城完成補(bǔ)給，也讓主城因你們而實現(xiàn)“補(bǔ)給”！我們剛剛度過一個時長近三個月的夏季學(xué)期和暑期。你們的成長和貢獻(xiàn)，使信息科大在“高校榮譽(yù)榜”再刷新段位，讓公眾和媒體都不禁直呼“信息科大，這次真的起飛了”！學(xué)校變得更加多元、更富有活力。
今年暑期，全球首個人形機(jī)器人“奧運會”燃動冰絲帶。我校作為核心承辦力量，七大學(xué)院驚艷亮相——“人機(jī)協(xié)同”足球賽、賽博“蹦迪”秀場、關(guān)節(jié)“精密工廠”……賽場因信息科大而閃亮！這個過去的暑期，全校師生又興奮了一把。高考錄取分?jǐn)?shù)與位次再創(chuàng)新高，“強(qiáng)勢崛起”“又一次飛起來”成為媒體對我們的共同評價。這份成績單是學(xué)校在新工科建設(shè)、產(chǎn)教融合、科教融匯、育人模式創(chuàng)新等領(lǐng)域厚積薄發(fā)的生動體現(xiàn)。從“實業(yè)救國”到“工業(yè)報國”再到“信息強(qiáng)國”，88年來學(xué)校始終與國家和民族發(fā)展同頻共振，在歷代信息科大人接續(xù)奮斗的歷程中，形成了鮮明的信息特色、國防特色和行業(yè)特色。今天的信息科大，作為信息特色鮮明的地方高水平應(yīng)用型大學(xué)的典范，正在以最昂揚的發(fā)展態(tài)勢，贏得社會各界的廣泛認(rèn)可。今天，隨著天樞書院與伊利諾伊工程學(xué)院迎來首批新生，我們的辦學(xué)格局又實現(xiàn)了新的跨越�？梢哉f，你們與信息科大的相遇恰逢其時，這是一場青春力量與時代使命的雙向奔赴，我們每一個人都將在這里親歷學(xué)校邁向高水平大學(xué)建設(shè)的每一個堅實步伐。
每年的開學(xué)典禮，都讓我感到無限的希望和未來的可能性。今年，我尤其期待，因為這個世界正在經(jīng)歷巨大的變化——科技發(fā)展迅猛，社會動態(tài)復(fù)雜，而教育，也在快速地重新定義自己。面對更高質(zhì)量的時代發(fā)展需求，信息科大不甘人后，敢為人先——從2025級開始，我們?yōu)榇蠹倚抻喠诵掳媾囵B(yǎng)方案，有些本科專業(yè)比起之前最多減少了30學(xué)分！那么，當(dāng)學(xué)分減少，我們應(yīng)該在大學(xué)學(xué)什么？
在全球范圍內(nèi)，大學(xué)教育正經(jīng)歷著一個深刻的轉(zhuǎn)型。從傳統(tǒng)課堂到線上教育，從固定課程到靈活學(xué)制，關(guān)于“學(xué)分”這一教育學(xué)核心的討論已經(jīng)擺在了最前沿。許多大學(xué)正在減少學(xué)分總數(shù)，它不只是一個數(shù)字的變化，而是教育理念的一次轉(zhuǎn)型。顛覆基礎(chǔ)教育階段的“確定性”計劃，轉(zhuǎn)而擁抱大學(xué)階段更多未知的無限可能。這是一種賦權(quán)，但更是一種對人類更高階素質(zhì)的要求——在自律中實現(xiàn)自由！每個人不再是課程表的“工具人”，而是大學(xué)生活的“主理人”；每項學(xué)習(xí)不再是“任務(wù)驅(qū)動”的模塊，而是長期實用主義的“目標(biāo)”。
今天，我想用五句話與大家分享，在這個學(xué)分減少的時代，大學(xué)應(yīng)該扮演什么角色，在大學(xué)的這幾年，又該找到怎樣的方向。
第一句話我想分享的是：告別學(xué)習(xí)“流水線”，讓大學(xué)變成你們的“試驗場”。
減少學(xué)分并不是減少你們的學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)會，而“0注水”“高提純”，讓大學(xué)所學(xué)真正變?yōu)橄蛭磥砦沽系摹凹?xì)糠”。當(dāng)人工智能可以完成精密實驗、可以操刀腦部手術(shù)、甚至可以提供情緒價值時，我們的專業(yè)是否還真的有底氣說“面向未來”？
但不要盲目地“知識恐慌”，刨去“AI幻覺”始終需要權(quán)威矯正外，我們更應(yīng)該思考如何利用空出的時間培育我們?nèi)祟惇氂械膶偌寄軜�。學(xué)分“留白”，是對真正技能的“還綠”——不論你是主修工程學(xué)、理學(xué)，還是人文學(xué)科，每一個自由時段，都應(yīng)該被用來培養(yǎng)超越工具時代的那些核心能力——包括批判性思維、創(chuàng)新能力，以及永久的好奇心。信息科大也將為你們的技能“還綠”開辟一片廣袤的“試驗田”——帶著Python編碼去阿里云創(chuàng)造自己的智能體；帶著文化創(chuàng)新去我們的海外合作高校共同探討人類命運共同體……上學(xué)期我們的“春假”一夜走紅，今年夏季學(xué)期的輔修、微專業(yè)、暑期學(xué)校、暑研等為滿足同學(xué)們更高質(zhì)量、更加多樣的教育需求提供了豐富多彩的課程和實踐。
第二句話我想分享的是：大膽“學(xué)科混搭”，讓“縫隙”迸發(fā)最頂流的“創(chuàng)意”。
從人工智能到低空經(jīng)濟(jì)，從納米生物學(xué)到碳中和科學(xué)工程，無數(shù)時下大熱的科學(xué)創(chuàng)新都始發(fā)于學(xué)科間的縫隙。就像我們賴以生存的自然界，它從不彌合裂縫，而是創(chuàng)造新的生機(jī)。
在信息科大亦然。強(qiáng)制性的學(xué)分少了，正好可以大膽嘗試一下“學(xué)科混搭”，基于實際問題，項目式學(xué)習(xí)，以長期實用主義讓學(xué)科真正為我所用，“混搭出新”。氣候變化問題并不能僅僅依靠環(huán)境科學(xué)解決，需要經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家、社會學(xué)家、數(shù)據(jù)分析師共同合作推進(jìn)�！傲孔佑嬎恪钡难芯績H靠物理學(xué)家是不夠的，數(shù)學(xué)家、化學(xué)家和工程師的協(xié)作同樣不可或缺。甚至今天的電影制作，也頻繁融合數(shù)字特效和AI生成技術(shù)。這就是為什么“碳中和”的攻堅需要多門學(xué)科背景的專家學(xué)者共同努力，這就是為什么放假前我們把學(xué)院的名稱定義為“傳播藝術(shù)與科學(xué)學(xué)院”。研究生院近期也將推出交叉學(xué)科培育計劃。從這個角度看，減少學(xué)分為你們提供了跨學(xué)科探索的空間，因為你們的大學(xué)生涯將不再僅僅專注于一個學(xué)科，而是鼓勵你通過多樣化的路徑去構(gòu)建全新知識。
我鼓勵你們試探兩個或多個學(xué)科之間的“縫隙”，去質(zhì)疑“為什么”？去問“怎么辦”？因為這些縫隙往往就是創(chuàng)新發(fā)生的地方。世界已經(jīng)告訴我們：交叉人才是未來的需求。既能洞悉社會又能操作技術(shù)，你們才能成為不可替代的人�；蛟S在新學(xué)期，你們就能看到更多“多師同課”的現(xiàn)象，他們可能來自不同院系、不同專業(yè)，甚至不同職能部門和行業(yè)領(lǐng)域，學(xué)校將主動而為向“縫隙”靠近、向“縫隙”求變，也期待能為你們帶來更多啟發(fā)、激活更多靈感。我們的教師們、管理服務(wù)團(tuán)隊的員工們，也將會在方方面面給同學(xué)們提供這樣的“縫隙”和“界面”。
第三句話我想分享的是：自帶“思辨buff”，永遠(yuǎn)為靠近真理發(fā)問。
談到社會的變化，就不得不提我們所處的一個重要時代——信息過載與技術(shù)過載的沖突時代。今天的新聞不再是靜止的，而是快速流動的；我們的算法在推送信息，也在操控情緒。減少學(xué)分并不意味著減少知識的重要性，反而要求你們在多元信息里找到更深刻的洞察力和責(zé)任感。
今年，對于世界人民，特別是華夏兒女而言，都是意義非凡的一年。就在幾天前，我們通過不同渠道共同見證了九三閱兵，中國人民以這種莊嚴(yán)、肅穆的方式“銘記歷史、緬懷先烈”，也是以這種方式慶祝中國人民抗日戰(zhàn)爭暨世界反法西斯戰(zhàn)爭勝利80周年，向世界傳遞“珍愛和平，開創(chuàng)未來”的理念與堅持。實證當(dāng)前，但全球“歷史虛無主義”仍有抬頭之勢，以個別國家為主導(dǎo)的世界話語體系與傳播渠道仍舊被操控和壟斷，我們耳聽未必為實，所見也未必全然為真。這就要求我們不斷拓展視野、打開思維，側(cè)觀世界、多元取證，用客觀的視角去觀察、用辯證的思維去思考，打好“地基”再“起高樓”。
于是，減少學(xué)分的大學(xué)并非減少價值，它是一個提示——你們應(yīng)該把課堂之外的時間，用在思考如何成為技術(shù)、社會和人性之間的橋梁，如何用去偽存真的方式去更接近真相。這是你們今天能夠做到的，也是未來必須承擔(dān)的。具備適應(yīng)變化的能力，也具備讓社會變得更公正、更美好的使命。
第四句話我想分享的是：做高質(zhì)量“時間管理大師”，“主線+支線”都要亮。
學(xué)分的減少，是學(xué)習(xí)主導(dǎo)權(quán)的移交，是時間管理權(quán)的歸位。這種從“外置枷鎖”，內(nèi)化為“內(nèi)驅(qū)動力”的高階轉(zhuǎn)化，是每一名大學(xué)生真正意義上的“成人禮”。
對于每一名新生而言，完成學(xué)業(yè)的精專、創(chuàng)新是為學(xué)的“主線任務(wù)”，但在以“過好自己的人生”為終極目標(biāo)的沿途上，這卻只能算得上是“支線任務(wù)”。因為為學(xué)是路徑，立身是根本。大學(xué)就為每個人豐富人生厚度、拓展閱歷維度提供了最佳的時期——大膽對話，去和不同背景、不同思維方式的同學(xué)坐下來交流；全心體驗，走出校園，站在社區(qū)、社會甚至全球場景中，體會“賦予時間意義”；自我設(shè)計、日臻完善，最終取得階段性成就。未來的世界，技能和知識雖然重要，但它更需要兼具智慧與溫度的人。那些能夠理解不同文化、包容多樣性，并致力于創(chuàng)造美好生活的人，才能成為各行各業(yè)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者，才能成為主導(dǎo)自己人生的“神”。大學(xué)的幾年——哪怕學(xué)分減少——都應(yīng)該成為這種深度與厚度成長的黃金窗口。因為，當(dāng)你們走出校園，這份深度與厚度將成為你們迎接挑戰(zhàn)、創(chuàng)造未來最大的底氣。
第五句話我想分享的是：學(xué)分精簡不是“減法”，而是鍛造“知識晶核”的“乘法”。
親愛的同學(xué)們和老師們，學(xué)分的減少不是一個對教育的妥協(xié)，而是讓教育更加精煉的嘗試。它不是簡單的“減法”，而是一次對于每個人精準(zhǔn)施策、去粗取精的“晶核乘法”。課堂上，我們力爭做到“門門金課”，摒棄無效“淘金”；知識傳導(dǎo)和積累上，我們力爭做到“高密度能量塊”，一改“大水漫灌”，讓“知識晶核”從“形核”到“長大”，都能鍛造出更堅固、穩(wěn)定的“人才晶核”！
在這樣一個無可預(yù)測的世界里，每一種過時的思維模式都可能成為發(fā)展的阻礙，而教育的意義，就在于幫助你們學(xué)會以獨立的視角和創(chuàng)新的思維去解決問題�；蛟S學(xué)分的減少看似在縮小學(xué)習(xí)的“范圍”，但它實際上在擴(kuò)大學(xué)習(xí)的“深度”。這樣的教育指引你們直面難題、突破自我，在奔向未來時，能夠用專業(yè)和信念書寫屬于你們的答案。這樣的轉(zhuǎn)型，要求你們更加專注于從精煉的知識中汲取養(yǎng)分，修煉內(nèi)心的定力與應(yīng)對未知的能力。你們作為年輕一代，有義務(wù)以智慧與勇氣，去面對那些挑戰(zhàn)。同時，你們也有權(quán)利和力量去定義未來的樣貌。如果說學(xué)分的減少標(biāo)志著一種教育理念的轉(zhuǎn)型，那么你們就是未來理念的踐行者。
我希望同學(xué)們在這所大學(xué)里，不僅僅追逐高績點，而是追逐更宏大的目標(biāo)——去塑造你們的頭腦、內(nèi)心和人生態(tài)度。愿你們像科學(xué)家一樣去質(zhì)疑，像藝術(shù)家一樣去創(chuàng)造，像哲學(xué)家一樣去思辨，像社會活動家一樣去關(guān)懷。這些目標(biāo)，正是大學(xué)教育最本質(zhì)的價值所在。愿你們以充滿智慧、同理心和行動力的姿態(tài)，迎接每一分屬于大學(xué)時光的挑戰(zhàn)與機(jī)遇。在這新學(xué)期伊始之際，我也再次希望我們?nèi)w師生員工、全球信息科大人一道努力，為同學(xué)們搭建更多跨學(xué)科交流、文化碰撞以及實踐活動的橋梁，讓校園不只是一個學(xué)習(xí)的場所，更是一個滋養(yǎng)好奇心和成長的沃土。正是有了師生共同的努力，這所大學(xué)才能成為一個培養(yǎng)獨立思想、創(chuàng)新精神和社會責(zé)任感的重要平臺。
感謝你們選擇來到這里，愿我們的校園成為你探索的樂園，成長的家園，和夢想的起點！
祝各位同學(xué)、師生員工新學(xué)年一切順利！謝謝！
Dear members of the Class of 2025, esteemed faculty,
dedicated staff, respected parents, and honored guests:
Good morning!
Today, my message is addressed to the entire Beijing
Information Science and Technology University （BISTU）
community, especially the 5,900 new undergraduate and
graduate students who are beginning an exciting new
chapter in their lives. It is a pleasure to welcome you
all.
We are gathered here during one of Beijing’s most
beautiful seasons, a time of hope and harvest. To our
new students, let me extend my warmest congratulations!
You have successfully navigated the rigorous challenges
of college-entrance or graduate-entrance examinations.
Stepping onto this campus today is the first step into a
world of unlimited possibilities. This is where you’ll
uncover truths, sharpen your skills, and begin to shape
your future self.
And to our returning faculty, students, and staff, I
say, "Welcome back!" Thank you for contributing to and
furthering BISTU’s growth and vitality. After a long
summer semester and break lasting nearly three months,
we return to find our efforts bearing fruit. Our
collective achievements have elevated BISTU’s
standing—and once again the public has taken notice,
saying, “BISTU is truly soaring!” The university has
become more dynamic, diverse, and innovative, thanks to
all of you.
This summer, our institution played a leading role in
hosting the world’s first humanoid robotics “Olympics”
at Beijing’s iconic Ice Ribbon arena. Seven of our
schools showcased their strengths, from human-machine
collaborative soccer games to cyber dance sessions and
joint-precision manufacturing. BISTU lit up the
international stage, and once again, our students,
faculty, and staff felt a surge of pride in what we’ve
accomplished together.
Meanwhile, the university has achieved new milestones
in admissions. This year’s intake broke previous
records, with higher scores and rankings, earning the
media reaction: “BISTU is rising stronger than ever!”
These accomplishments reflect years of steady progress
in new engineering disciplines, collaborations with
industry, integration of science and education, and
innovative pedagogical models. Since its founding 88
years ago, BISTU has always aligned itself with the
priorities of our nation—moving from "industrial
salvation" to "national service through
industrialization" and now to "strengthening the nation
through information technology." Generation after
generation of BISTU scholars have dedicated themselves
to this mission while shaping the university into what
it is today: a distinguished leader in applied research,
information technologies, and high-level talent
development within critical industries.
With the Astra Residential College and the Illinois
Tech College of Engineering joining the University this
year, our academic structure has reached new heights.
For you, the Class of 2025, your arrival is perfectly
timed. This is not just the beginning of your university
journey but also the unfolding story of BISTU’s progress
toward becoming a world-class institution. Together, we
will make history as BISTU continues its rise.
What Does It Mean When Credits Are Reduced?
Each year, opening convocation fills me with hope and
a sense of boundless possibility. This year, however,
feels especially momentous. We are living in a time of
great transformation—rapid technological advancements,
societal complexities, and a redefinition of what
learning and education truly mean. In this context,
BISTU remains committed to excellence by embracing
change and leading boldly.
Beginning with the Class of 2025, we have reformed our
academic curriculum, with some undergraduate programs
reducing credit requirements by as much as 30. This
prompts a question: when the number of credits
decreases, what should we focus on learning during
university?
Around the world, higher education is undergoing a
profound shift. From traditional lecture halls to online
platforms, rigid curricula to flexible pathways, the
very meaning of “credits” is being reexamined. Reducing
credit hours is not merely a technical adjustment—it
represents a philosophical transformation. It sheds the
rigidity of predictable learning plans, commonly seen in
earlier stages of education, in favor of embracing the
endless possibilities of university life.
This shift is an invitation. It empowers students and
calls for a higher level of engagement—a transition from
being passive participants in a curriculum to active
architects of a personal and academic future. Decreased
credit requirements are not about doing less; they are
about doing more of what matters.
Today, I want to share “five key insights” about what
we should learn in this new era of reduced credits and
what kind of university experience we should aim to
create.
Insight 1: Transform the University into Your
"Experimentation Lab"
Less is more. Reduced credits are not about giving you
less education but removing unnecessary “filler” so that
what you learn truly becomes "high precision"
preparation for the future. At a time when artificial
intelligence can conduct experiments, perform surgeries,
and even provide emotional support, we must ask
ourselves whether the skillsets taught by our programs
are genuinely preparing students for such a future.
But let us not fall into the trap of fearing progress.
Instead, think critically and intentionally about the
newfound time opened up by this academic reform. Use it
to cultivate uniquely human abilities—the skills that
cannot be replaced. Critical thinking, innovative
creativity, and an insatiable curiosity should guide
your learning.
At BISTU, we’re committed to providing a fertile “test
field” for your growth. Want to program your own AI on
Alibaba Cloud? Do it. Want to explore cultural
innovation alongside global peers? We’ll support you.
Already, initiatives like our spring break projects,
summer terms, micro-credentials, and auxiliary minors
have brought customized, high-quality learning
opportunities to our students.
Insight 2: Embrace the “Intersections”—Where True
Innovation Happens
From AI and carbon neutrality to nanobiotechnology and
quantum computing, today’s greatest breakthroughs are
born at the boundaries between disciplines. Nature
itself thrives on gaps, evolving new opportunities in
every crevice.
At BISTU, reduced credit requirements mean you can now
engage in more cross-disciplinary exploration. Tackle
pressing global challenges like climate change or
renewable energy by approaching them from multi-angle
perspectives: as collaborations between economists,
sociologists, data scientists, and engineers. Starting
this semester, you’ll see more "co-teaching" across
departments and increased focus on problem-based
innovation. Our Graduate School is soon going to open up
several interdisciplinary program initiatives for you to
participate.
We encourage you to "mix and match" subjects,
experiment with project-based learning, and build
connections between seemingly unrelated areas. For
instance, you might find your passion for "quantum
computing" at the intersection of physics, mathematics,
or even chemistry. Multi-disciplinary talent isn’t just
desirable for the future workforce—it’s essential.
Insight 3: Always Ask "Why"—And Pursue Truth
Relentlessly
Society today faces enormous information overload.
Algorithms feed us content, skewing perspectives and
manipulating emotions. But understanding the world
requires depth and discernment. Reducing credits does
not mean reducing the importance of knowledge, but
rather requires you to find deeper insights and a sense
of responsibility in diverse information.
This year, particularly for Chinese society, holds
profound meaning as we commemorate the 80th anniversary
of global victory over Japanese aggression and fascism.
While historical evidence remains clear, the global
trend of "historical nihilism" continues to rise. The
narrative frameworks and communication channels
predominantly controlled by certain nations perpetuate a
distorted and monopolized worldview. What we hear may
not necessarily be true, and what we see may not fully
reflect reality. This calls on us to expand our
horizons, open our minds, and develop a multidimensional
approach to understanding the world—observing
objectively and thinking critically with a dialectical
mindset. Only by laying a strong foundation can we reach
new heights.
Thus, reducing credit hours at universities is not a
reduction in value; it is a reminder—a call to action.
The time freed from traditional curricula should be used
to reflect on how you can become a bridge between
technology, society, and humanity, and how you can use
methods of discernment to get closer to the truth. This
is something you can begin to do now, but it is also a
responsibility you will bear in the future. It is about
cultivating the ability to adapt to change while
bringing about a more just and better society.
Insight 4: Master the Art of Time—Balance “Main
Quests” and “Side Quests”
Reduced credits place the management of your education
back in your hands over your time management. This
shift—marking the transition from external pressure to
internal drive—is the true “coming of age” moment for
every student.
For every incoming freshman, academic mastery and
innovation constitute the "main quest" of your
university journey, but when viewed in the broader
context of the ultimate goal—living a fulfilling
life—this academic pursuit is merely a "side quest."
Education is the path, but personal growth is the
foundation. College is the prime season for each of you
to enrich the depth of your life and expand the
dimensions of your experience. It is a time to engage in
meaningful conversations—sit down with classmates from
different backgrounds and learn from varying
perspectives. Fully immerse yourself in new
experiences—step beyond the campus, participate in
community, societal, or even global affairs, and
understand what it means to give your time purpose.
Through self-reflection and continuous improvement, you
can ultimately achieve milestones of personal progress.
In the world ahead, skills and knowledge will
undoubtedly be important, but the future demands
individuals who combine intellect with empathy. Leaders
in every field will be those who can understand
different cultures, embrace diversity, and strive to
create a better life for others. Those who possess the
wisdom and warmth to do so will not only lead others but
will also be the true architects of their own lives.
The college years—credit reductions
notwithstanding—should remain a golden window for
developing such depth and breadth of your character.
Because when you leave this campus, it is that very
depth and breadth that will serve as your greatest
foundation for tackling challenges and shaping the
future.
Insight 5: Reduction Is About Refinement—Achieving
Greater Depth
The reduction in credits is not a compromise on
education; it is a deliberate attempt to make education
more refined. It is not simply a matter of
"subtraction," but rather a calculated "core
multiplication" process—one that tailors education to
each individual by streamlining and honing its focus. In
the classroom, we strive for every course to be a
"golden class," eliminating ineffective "prospecting."
In terms of knowledge transmission and accumulation, we
aim to create "high-density energy blocks," replacing
the outdated "flood irrigation" approach with a process
where the "knowledge nucleus," from its initial
"crystallization" to its eventual "growth," is
meticulously forged into a strong and stable "talent
grain."
In an unpredictable world, any outdated mode of
thinking can become an obstacle to progress. The true
purpose of education is to help you learn how to tackle
problems with an independent perspective and innovative
mindset. While the reduction in credits may seem to
"narrow" the scope of your learning, it is, in reality,
designed to "deepen" the impact of your education. This
kind of education enables you to confront challenges
head-on, push your own boundaries, and move toward the
future—armed with both expertise and conviction to write
your unique answers.
This transformation, however, asks more of you. It
requires you to focus on extracting nourishment from
distilled knowledge and to build inner resilience and
the ability to navigate the unknown. As the next
generation, you have the responsibility to face
challenges with wisdom and courage. At the same time,
you have both the right and the power to define the
shape of the future. If the reduction in credits
symbolizes a shift in educational philosophy, then you
are the pioneers entrusted to bring this philosophy to
life.
I hope that during your time at BISTU, you won’t
simply chase after a high GPA, but instead, pursue more
ambitious goals—to shape your mind, your heart, and your
approach to life. May you learn to question like a
scientist, create like an artist, think critically like
a philosopher, and care deeply like a social activist.
These objectives represent the fundamental essence of
what a university education is truly about. May you
embrace each challenge and opportunity of your college
years with wisdom, empathy, and a spirit of action.
As we begin this new semester, I also reaffirm my hope
that all of us—students, faculty, staff, and everyone in
the global community of BISTU—will work together to
create more opportunities for interdisciplinary
dialogue, cultural exchange, and hands-on experiences.
Let’s make this campus not just a place for learning,
but also a fertile ground for curiosity and growth. It
is through the joint efforts of faculty and students
that this university can stand as a vital platform for
cultivating independent thinking, innovative spirit, and
a strong sense of social responsibility.
Thank you for choosing BISTU and being of part of us.
May our campus become a paradise for your exploration, a
home for your growth, and the starting point of your
dreams!
Best wishes to all of you for a successful academic
year!
Thank you!
