While strengthening alumni connections, these activities also highlighted patriotic values and the university’s pioneering spirit.

Across campus, alumni, faculty, and students reunited, shared stories of the past, and discussed hopes for the future, filling the university with warmth and lasting emotion.
Building on the tradition of previous homecoming events, this year’s program further consolidated alumni support and injected new momentum into the development of a “Harmonious, Dynamic, Beautiful, and Happy Taizhou University.” It also strengthened the university’s drive to advance its goals of institutional upgrading, doctoral-program development, and progress toward first-class excellence.
