On behalf of the university, Luo Qingming extended a warm welcome to the new faculty members and introduced the university’s history, current situation, and development goals. He emphasized that the university has been bearing in mind the instruction of President Xi Jinping, which encourages Hainan University to  develop world-class disciplines and set a clear goal to become a world-class university by 2035. Aligned with major national strategies and the socioeconomic development needs of Hainan, the university is strengthening organized scientific research, promoting disciplinary development, and fostering an academic atmosphere that values scholarship, pursues excellence, and integrates knowledge with practice. In doing so, the university aims to empower its faculty members to drive high-quality development in Hainan.

By presenting a set of detailed data, Luo Qingming highlighted the university’s recent achievements in areas such as high-level talent recruitment and development, national-level scientific research and innovation platforms, the number of projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the quality of undergraduate student enrollment, large-scale instrument and equipment, and laboratory space. He pointed out that the university would seize the opportunities brought by the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port to accelerate the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, establish effective response mechanisms for faculty needs, and ensure that teachers are fully respected and have ample opportunities for growth in both teaching and research, thereby fostering an educational ecosystem where “merits enhance position”.

Luo encouraged the new faculty to conduct scientific research that is both fundamental and practical in nature, urging them to inscribe their research achievements on the land of Hainan and better serve the development of Hainan Free Trade Port. He advised them to align their personal development with the university’s strategic goals, remain committed to learning, leverage opportunities for growth, and stay firm in their convictions. By synchronizing their efforts with the university’s progress and striving for mutual achievement, they can contribute their wisdom and strength to the university’s goal of becoming a world-class university while realizing their own value.
