The Faculty Retreat on Strategic Planning brought more than 25 faculties together on 25 April, 2019 to discuss and shape the direction of the strategic plan for future development.  Professor Xie Zuowei kicked off the day by inviting Associate Deans and the management team to examine the key elements on Education, Student Affairs and Research.  Associate Deans presented related reports and figures and led the team on the discussion of future opportunities and challenges of the Faculty. Participants shared collective insights into outreach and STEM education, internationalisation, student development, research initiatives, as well as the wealth of opportunities of the Greater Bay Area. Professor Xie concluded the event by drawing a clear path of priorities moving forward.
