First of all, President Wu addressed at the meeting that the School of Food and Pharmacy would focus on clarifying the organizational structure and post responsibilities, the performance management system, the teacher management system and other key contents. Every task should have a clear responsible subject and every post should have clear performance standards, so as to form a working pattern of coordination between higher and lower levels, clear rights and responsibilities, and division of labor and cooperation. This lays a solid foundation for the smooth progress of the college's teaching, scientific research, student management and other work. For example, professional leaders are required to assist in the innovative work of their respective majors, which sets a core direction for the standardized and systematic promotion of the college's follow-up work. A dynamic adjustment mechanism will be established to continuously optimize and improve the details of the systems in light of the college's development reality and problems arising in the implementation process, so as to ensure the scientificity and operability of the systems. The college will strengthen supervision and inspection to ensure the effective implementation of various systems, empower the improvement of the college's governance capacity through institutional development, and build a high-quality teaching team with noble professional ethics, excellent professional competence, rational structure and full vitality. This will provide a solid guarantee for the high-quality development of the School of Food and Pharmacy and the cultivation of more high-quality technical and skilled talents to meet industry needs.
Chen Jianlan, Deputy Secretary of the Party Branch of the School of Food and Pharmacy, pointed out at the meeting that all teachers should further raise their political stance, take the initiative to shoulder responsibilities, and actively participate in the preparation and guidance of various innovation and entrepreneurship competitions. Teachers should give full play to their leading role, combine the professional characteristics of food and pharmacy of the college, explore industry innovation highlights and market demands, and accurately tap into students’ creative potential. Competition achievements should be used to promote the simultaneous improvement of students’ innovative thinking and professional application ability, and strive for new breakthroughs in competitions. With the start of the new semester, in view of the large individual differences in student management, teachers should make classroom management more caring and effective in classroom teaching and daily management.Combined with the current situation of the employment of the Class of 2026 graduates, employment work still remains a long and arduous task, requiring all faculty members to unite and work together. For the employment of the Class of 2026, employment support measures should be further refined, one-on-one targeted guidance should be provided to students with employment difficulties, employment channels should be broadened, and job matching should be strengthened to fully boost the employment rate. For the internship of the Class of 2027, advance planning and layout should be made, cooperation and linkage with industrial enterprises should be deepened, and internship position matching should be optimized. All teachers should make up for shortcomings, consolidate the work foundation, jointly promote the college’s employment and internship work to a new level, and escort students’ future career development.
Later, Ji Jing, Vice Dean of the School of Food and Pharmacy, gave a detailed explanation on the reimbursement process. She emphasized that all procedures should be carried out in strict accordance with the university’s financial regulations to ensure that every fund is used in a compliant and transparent manner.
