The Council of China Women's Universities Consortium (CWUC) held its fourth plenary meeting on January 10 in Beijing.

Attendees also included presidents, deputy secretary-generals and directors from seven member institutions, with representatives from their respective teaching affairs offices, recruitment and employment offices, student affairs offices and international cooperation departments.

Participants deliberated on the qualification of new applicants and notified members about personnel changes. The consortium accepted Hebei Women's Vocational College (HWVC) and Guangdong Women's Polytechnic College (GWPC) as members.

 

 

HWVC president Gai Chunrui and GWPC's Communist Party secretary Zhou Youying were nominated as council members of CWUC.

Attendees also approved relevant applications; appointed Sheng Guojun, president of Shandong Women's University (SWU), as president of CWUC; and, nominated Wang Shizhong, director of SWU's President Office, as deputy secretary-general of the consortium.

The council granted new members with certificates and name plates.

 

 

Fan Suhua, former president of CWUC, reviewed the consortium's history and achievements over the past four years. She hoped the new members could bring fresh ideas and measures for the progress of CWUC and contribute to women's higher education in the future.

Fan said she will always pay attention to the work of the consortium, even in retirement.

The new members declared that they sincerely appreciated the consortium's trust and will keep in mind their responsibilities for women's development.

As a member of the council, Gai summarized the main accomplishments of HWVC, praised relevant universities and departments for their joint efforts, and thanked the council  for taking on numerous responsibilities.

Luo Ting, Party secretary of Hunan Women's University (HWU), shared the university's experience in management.

Zhao Hao, deputy secretary-general of CWUC, addressed the meeting on behalf of the host organization, summarized CWU's efforts and achievements since the last session, and introduced the university's work plan for the future.

During the summary, Liu Liqun said that since its foundation, the consortium has been exploring, expanding and upgrading. Liu said that women's universities have become indispensable parts of China's higher education with their unique values and missions. Those universities should join efforts to promote the development of women's higher education, Liu added.

 

 

Participants at the meeting reached a consensus that the consortium should lead advanced gender culture and build itself into an international league within the framework of the Belt and Road initiative. It should also spread the stories of Chinese female students, women's higher education and CWUC to the outside world, Liu said.

Liu stressed that under the guidance of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the consortium should take the responsibility of promoting the development of women's higher education. She also expressed her hope that CWUC could play a role as a community of interests and a platform for cooperation, and that women's universities should take the overall situation into account and strive to improve the consortium's influence and realize the Chinese dream.

The consortium was jointly established by CWU, SWU and HWU. It aims to strengthen exchange and interaction between domestic women's universities, so that they can jointly study and explore patterns of women's university education; integrate and share outstanding education resources; supplement each other through cooperation; and, promote reform and development of women's academic education.
