Alumni and their classmates took group photos

“I studied in the old campus at the foot of the Beigu Mountain. At that time, there were only three classes with a total of 146 students, and I could see the whole school at a glance when I stood at the entrance of the school. Now, I feel happy from the bottom of my heart to see the university developing better and better!” A grade 78 alumnus said.

“I graduated from Taizhou Health School and came back today with my classmates to participate in the homecoming activities of the School of Medicine. Our alma mater is still there!” “I graduated in 2016 and came back from Hangzhou. In early December, I saw the notice of the homecoming day and asked my dormitory classmates to join me in applying for a meal coupon online and signing up for the walk. Upon arrival this morning, I got the warm reception of schoolmates at the university gate. I visited the dormitory with my dormitory mates. When the aunt in charge of the dorm saw us, she could recognize us!” “My home is in Xinming Peninsula, an apartment complex in Jiaojiang. In these years, I have deeply felt my alma mater’s atmosphere of open education. A university without walls provides us with a lot of convenience. It wins a lot of praise from our colleagues and friends.” “I wish our university is getting better and better!” Many alumni sent their best wishes to their alma mater.

Dear alumni, welcome home! You are the power source for the development of our university! Your smiling faces are the warm sun of the university in winter! Thank you for your coming! See you next year!
