Subsequently, each attending representative delivered a brief self-introduction and engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as “strengthening the ideological leadership role of student unions”, “enhancing the rationality of organisational structure and work responsibilities”, “maintaining close communication with students”, “supporting the establishment of a solid disciplinary foundation and facilitating growth and success”, and “the role of student union organisations in the development of the college”. The participating representatives shared their perspectives, offering new insights for the future development of student union initiatives.

In conclusion, Ma Zhiheng emphasized that the student union staff should, under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, remain true to their original aspiration and persist in wholeheartedly serving their fellow students. He suggested that by combining the distinctive advantages of the collaborative management system and educational model, they should focus on exploring new initiatives and pathways for student union work. Ma Zhiheng also recommended that all student unions continue to enhance their exchange and learning efforts, making positive contributions to the establishment of upright and integrity student union organizations.

After the meeting, Ma Zhiheng, drawing upon the work experience and successful practices of sister college student unions, led a comprehensive review and learning session with all members of the college’s student union. Subsequently, adjustments were made to the direction of work for the upcoming semester.

The successful hosting of this series of symposiums facilitated communication and cooperation between each college, enhanced the friendship among student union members, and provided strong support for the development of college student unions.
