Recently, Shuzhe Zhang (an alumnus of the Class of 2023, majoring in Mechanical Engineering) returned to SCUPI to visit his teachers and represented his company in exploring new opportunities for university-industry cooperation.

Dr. TZ Mai, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs warmly welcomed the returning alumnus. He expressed his hope that alumni, from campus to the workplace, could continue to leverage their strengths to contribute to the development of the college. He hoped that this cooperation between the school and the enterprise could be further deepened, providing students with more practical opportunities and delivering more outstanding talents to enterprises. Subsequently, Shuzhe Zhang  gave a detailed introduction to the company’s business development direction and cases of cooperation with universities. As an outstanding alumnus of SCUPI, he shared his growth journey from campus to the workplace and expressed his gratitude for the cultivation provided by his alma mater. He stated that the international vision and solid professional foundation of SCUPI had provided a strong guarantee for him to enter the technology industry.

During the free exchange session, participants engaged in an in-depth discussion on topics such as the innovation of university-industry cooperation models and student internships and employment. Dr. Li Ye, Assistant Dean for Student Affairs pointed out that SCUPI would continue to leverage its advantages in international education and actively explore an integrated development path of “industry, academia, research, and application,” providing technical support and talent reserves for enterprises.

Sichuan University – Pittsburgh Institute (SCUPI) will continue to uphold the concept of openness and cooperation, join hands with more outstanding enterprises, and jointly cultivate high-quality talents who meet the demands of the new era.

The return of alumni and the active establishment of cooperation between their enterprises and the alma mater are concrete manifestations of alumni leveraging their strengths and bridging roles. Alumni of SCUPI have always been concerned about the development of the institute. In recent years, many alumni who have graduated have returned to visit their teachers and actively built platforms for industry-academia cooperation, demonstrating their deep concern for and positive contributions to the development of their alma mater and setting an example for other alumni. Through such cooperation, not only will there be an increase in internship and employment opportunities for students, but there will also be an acceleration of technology transfer, promoting the deep integration of industry, academia, research, and application, and injecting new vitality into industry development.

We sincerely welcome more alumni to join the SCUPI Alumni Association family. Let us join hands and continue to write brilliant chapters on the platform of the Alumni Association, contributing to the development of our alma mater and alumni.
