He pointed out that the continuous donations from alumni to the "SEM Alumni Fund" and "SEM Development Fund" have injected inexhaustible momentum into the school's development.

These donations are not merely material assistance; they represent the deep affection that alumni have for their alma mater and school, reflecting the continuity of the university's culture and the passing down of the SEM spirit. Taking the 70th anniversary of the university as an opportunity, he encouraged deeper communication and emotional connections, and contributions to the construction of the alma mater.
Yan Xiangbin Speaks
As of now, the total amount and in-kind value of various forms of donation funds received from SEM alumni in their personal capacities, class capacities, major capacities, and enterprise capacities have exceeded 3 million yuan. The "SEM Alumni Fund" and "SEM Development Fund" carry the expectations of alumni and will inspire SEM students to cultivate lofty ideals, strive for excellence, and contribute USTB's strength to the construction of the nation.
