Actively participating in innovative practice and volunteering is a valuable experience of mycollegelife.Innovation and entrepreneurship competitions have guided me to think more deeply about the transformation of scientific research and achievements.Participating in high-level innovation and entrepreneurship events such as “Internet +” and “Challenge Cup” can bring us an all-round improvement in personal ability and teamwork ability, and a reflection on personal development in the future.

In spare time, we can enrich our life by participating in some student work, social practice, innovation and entrepreneurship, and volunteer service.A well-rounded college life must be more fulfilling and wonderful.

As a League branch Secretary, do you have any suggestions for the branch construction?

The primary purpose of branch construction is to unite the members of the branch, so as to strengthen the ideological and political work of the members and lead them to complete their political tasks. Secondly, it is necessary to hold some activities to enhance students’ enthusiasm for studying political theories, so as to deepen thematic education and promote ideological and political construction.Finally, based on the current hot topics, we should organically combine the related activities with the study of political theories, so as to innovate and enrich the form of these activities.

Do you have any suggestions for maintaining the ideological advancement of the members of the League Branch?

For the theoretical study of the branch, we can turn passivity into initiative. The best example is the activity of “everyone tells the history of CPC”. The students have used their own way to talk about the glorious course of CPC for a hundred years. In this way, we have not only carried out the study and education of the history of CPC, but also improved everyone’s learning enthusiasm.
