On the afternoon of Dec 21st, 2019 Warm Home Student Fellowship Activity was held in Univesity of Science and Technology (USTC). The leaders of the University and nearly 200 students from the College of science and education integration and the postgraduates training on contract participated in the activity.

In his speech, JIANG Yi, deputy secretary of the USTC Party committee, extended his best wishes to the students for the winter solstice and the New Year. He pointed out that since the founding of USTC in 1958, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) had been carrying out the policy of "supporting the university by the whole CAS, combining departments with institutes". The university had always been striving to provide a comfortable learning and living environment for the students, so that they could feel the warmth of "home" at USTC. He hoped that the students could study hard and never forget the USTC when they arrived at their work units. Finally, Mr. JIANG expressed his gratitude to all functional departments for their efforts in this activity.

As the winter solstice coming, the activity specially arranged the students to make dumplings by themselves. Students ate the delicious dumplings and participated in the small games at the same time. Through the interesting games, the hearts of the students were getting closer to each other in the laughter. Exquisite gifts were also prepared for the students who gathered the five blessings and ate the mysterious stuffing dumplings. A happy smile is on everyone's face.

At the end of the activity, Students visit the USTC History Museum. With the introduction of volunteers, the students carefully studied the 61 years of glorious course of USTC, realized the original mission of "serving the country through science, pursuing excellence”, and deepened their sense of belonging, identity and honor to USTC.
