They recalled their memorable college days in HNU and expressed their readiness to closely follow the development of their alma mater.

In addition to the welcome gathering, there are a variety of homecoming activities, such as a donation ceremony, an alumni enterprise job fair, a themed cultural evening, an alumni football match, a campus walk, and a teacher-student symposium.

In the blossoming spring season, the alumni gathered to reminisce about the old days and look into the future of HNU. Strolling around the campus, they fondly recalled their precious time spent on the campus and felt the leapfrog development of their alma mater.

HNU alumni have long been making great achievements in their own fields, becoming backbone in serving national economic and social development, and winning widespread recognition for their alma mater. We hope that alumni come back home more often and continue to support the development of their alma mater, working together to turn HNU into a comprehensive, research-oriented and internationalized “double world-class” university.

Attendees of this welcome gathering include heads of relevant offices and departments of the university, as well as representatives of teachers and students.
