The School has always placed great emphasis on alumni relations, guided by the "Three Ones" principle—treating alumni work as a top-level priority, promoting integrated development, and pursuing cohesive development. Adhering to the approach of "seeking support through service and promoting development through dedication," the School has built a "Four Integrations" model that combines alumni engagement with talent cultivation, scientific research, grassroots Party building, and industry collaboration. These efforts aim to leverage the influential role of alumni as mentors and models for current students, fully tap into and connect alumni resources, and build a shared community for growth among the university, the School, and its alumni, thereby promoting high-quality talent development.
