Vice Party Secretary Zhou Guoliang delivered a speech. He began by extending sincere congratulations on behalf of the university’s Party committee to all students who are learning and growing in the healthy, positive, and uplifting campus cultural atmosphere. He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to all faculty and students involved in organizing the Campus Culture Festival. Against the backdrop of an era filled with opportunities and challenges, he shared his expectations for the students. He emphasized that students of finance and economics should not only master traditional core skills such as accounting and finance but also proactively learn and embrace cutting-edge technologies, actively explore, and acquire hard skills in the tide of serving the "Digital China" initiative. Additionally, he encouraged students to actively participate in the various activities of the Campus Culture Festival, allowing the Kuangshi campus culture to remain fresh and vibrant through inheritance. He hoped that students would actively contribute ideas for campus cultural development, inject lasting vitality into the university’s growth with their youthful wisdom, and jointly write SUFE’s story for the new era.

This year’s festival, jointly organized by the University’s Communist Youth League Committee, the Student Union, the Graduate Student Union, school student councils, and student organizations, covers six themes: ideological and political guidance, academic culture, sports competition, artistic creation, labor practice, and digital leadership. From April 8th to May 20th, 100 diverse activities will be held. Against the backdrop of the deep integration of the digital economy with social life, a special "Digital Leadership" section has been added this year, focusing on cutting-edge fields such as AI algorithms and big data analysis. This initiative aims to build a professional digital technology practice platform, enhance SUFE students’ technological literacy, and stimulate innovative vitality.
