They should act positively within the school-department co- management system, make greater contributions for the collection of resources by actively carrying out cooperation and training. The teachers should establish a correct concept of scientific research, form the habit of being excellent and hardworking, cultivate a sense of urgency and mission to do high-quality researches diligently, and make contributions to the discipline construction and the development of the school through top-level research projects. All departments and facilities should provide management and services more efficiently and more carefully, know the bottom lines, and improve services for students to get cultivated morally and culturally, to enhance the sense of social responsibility and humane concerns, to jointly safeguard the good image of the school and promote the school to a higher stage.
