On Nov 10th, 2019, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) held a grand blind date activity for all the graduated students in Hefei. Thousands of graduate students have taken part in this red-carpet blind date activity.
President BAO Xinhe came to the site before the activity began. He expressed his appreciation for the preparatory work and wished the activity a complete success. He hoped that student organizations could continually play a vital role in the connection between the university and students in academic performance, physical and psychological health, social integration, as well as rights and interests maintenance.
Divided into three rounds, this blind date activity was combined with five separate areas including 8 minutes of self-introduction area, 10 minutes of appreciation area, cooperative games area, music zone and outdoors ballroom. Graduated students in different majors, ages as well as different characteristics were matched to talk and share their life, family backgrounds and future plans which was a good beginning for them to leave a good impression to each other. Also, 10 minutes’ appreciation area provided all student a romantic environment with soft light and soothing music to communicate with each other in depth. Cooperative game area strengthened the students’ friendship through their cooperative work in each game, and music zone pushed the students’ emotions to the climax when they sang the songs with deep emotions in graceful rhythms and lyrics, and embraced them in soft light. Student wrote their whispers on the self-revealing wall, took pictures together and marked the perfect closure to this event.
