On March 19, Wang Shuguo stepped down as the president of Xi'an Jiaotong University, and only six days later, he became the president of Fuyao University of Science and Technology. Wang Shuguo, who has been cultivating the education front for half his life, is 66 years old and will continue to work in the education industry after retirement.
Some people have value no matter where they are, and this is not about age.
Big and small things look at the responsibility, and the trade-offs depend on the mind. When Wang Shuguo stepped down as the president of Xi'an Jiaotong University, countless students spontaneously bid him off, which showed Wang Shuguo's feelings and pattern, we need such scholars, such pragmatic reformers and practitioners.
In fact, the road Wang Shuguo has walked and Wang Shuguo's life have all given deep inspiration and thought.
Historically, too many university leaders have been thinking about publishing articles, running projects, and getting promoted, and with a professional title they have power, and with a professional title, they can recruit team members, apply for various projects, and dress themselves up as professors and academicians with various names.
As a result, in the list of academicians, the names of secretaries and presidents are everywhere. Basically, everyone in the university has a major or key project, in fact, he just has a title, the materials are written, the projects are run, and the relationship is carried out, and this kind of atmosphere has been prevalent in private for many years.
However, Wang Shuguo is one of the clear streams, and his bones are strange.
He has served as Vice President of Harbin Institute of Technology, Director of Heilongjiang Science and Technology Department, and President of Xi'an Jiaotong University. During his tenure as director of the Department of Science and Technology, he was expected to serve as vice governor and take a step forward in his career, but Wang Shuguo resolutely gave up the position of vice governor and returned to Harbin Institute of Technology as president.
The vice governor and the Harbin Institute of Technology of 985 University are both vice-provincial cadres, but in practice, they are still not the same. The vice governor is a high-ranking and powerful position, which is the desire of many people to pursue a career and the dream of many university leaders. However, Wang Shuguo was stunned to stick to his original intention, stick to his feelings, and do a good job as the president of Harbin Institute of Technology.
President Wang Shuguo is a clear stream in the officialdom and a clear spring in the academic world.
Not only is he not the vice governor, but Wang Shuguo is also not the party secretary of the university.
The secretary of the party committee of a university is the real "number one" of a university, holding the right to decide on human rights, financial rights, and administrative rights. Often, university presidents take over as party secretaries as enterprising and personal re-use. However, President Wang Shuguo has achieved very good results, but he has not been transferred to the secretary, judging from his initiative to give up his participation in the academician's evaluation, only being the president should not be the secretary, which should be in line with his consistent style, and he should have taken the initiative to choose to give up.
Wang Shuguo is the only pure scholar and administrator in the country who is not the vice governor and the party secretary of the university, and only serves as the president. The mountains are admirable!
The trade-offs in personal honor and disgrace, and the advance and retreat in personal career, show personal feelings and perseverance. What is important? The family and the country are important, and the students are important; what is light? The individual is light, and the advance and retreat are light. He put the family and country, the responsibility, the feelings, the responsibility all over the campus, engraved in the heart of every student, such a person with feelings is better than how many camps and camps, better than how many apprentices, his high wind and bright festival, destined to be with the sun and the moon, and the years with life.
After President Wang Shuguo stepped down as the president of Xi'an Jiaotong University, he was hired as the president of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, in fact, he is also the third president of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, and the pressure can be imagined.
In the early stage of the preparation of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, Professor Zhu Chongshi served as the president. Professor Zhu Chongshi has been working in Xiamen University for a long time, has rich experience in education management and profound academic background, and has made important contributions to the preparatory work.
Subsequently, Academician Mei Hong of the Chinese Academy of Sciences took over the post of president and became the second president. Academician Mei Hong is an outstanding representative in the field of computer science, and his academic achievements and leadership skills have been widely recognized. However, due to personal reasons, Academician Mei Hong decided to resign as president and stay on as a member of the school board.
With the deepening of the school's construction, the school is committed to finding a leader with a more international vision and innovative spirit to lead the development of the school. In this context, Professor Wang Shuguo took over as the President of Fuyao University of Science and Technology.
With an iron shoulder and morality, and a clever article, the 66-year-old Wang Shuguo has embarked on a new journey.
The president is the soul of a university, and if the president is chosen, the university is half the success. For example, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology has risen rapidly in just 20 years, and the important reason is that it has found a master-level president, established a strong faculty research team, built a high-level discipline, and built a scientific research platform that matches the masters.
With President Wang Shuguo's sitting, with the continuous capital investment of Cao Dewang, Chairman of Fuyao University of Science and Technology, and the solution to the problem that private universities do not have the tenure of public universities, President Wang Shuguo can have a longer time to devote himself to education.
The discipline layout of Fuyao University of Science and Technology is committed to solving the "stuck neck" problem and cultivating top scientific and technological talents for the country and society. According to public information, the school currently has schools of materials science and engineering, electronic information and engineering, environmental science and engineering, etc., which are expected to officially enroll students in the fall of 2024, with undergraduate and graduate degrees, and a school scale of 12,000-13,000 full-time students, and about 6,000 undergraduates every year. Although it is a private university, the tuition fee will be the same as that of most public universities, 6,000 yuan/year.
With the addition of Fuyao University of Science and Technology by Wang Shuguo, the future can be expected!
