On April 2, 2025, the School of International Education held a themed class meeting to deliver the “First Class” for the first batch of international students of the Thailand Dayu School in classroom JX7104. Through this class meeting, the 18 Thai international students gained a comprehensive understanding of the campus environment, academic requirements, and safety regulations, and prepared well for their upcoming study and life at YRCTI.

During the meeting, Li Yafei, Class Advisor of the School of International Education, introduced the campus layout and facilities to international students in detail, including the teaching buildings, library, cafeteria, and dormitories, through which they were quickly familiar with the campus environment. Then, Li interpreted the Handbook for International Students in detail, especially university rules and regulations, class discipline, and daily behavioral norms, and emphasized the importance of disciplinary compliance in creating a good learning atmosphere. In addition, Li also explained to them the safety precautions such as dormitory safety, fire and theft prevention, traffic safety, and personal property protection, effectively enhancing their awareness of safety.

After that, Gao Zhiyuan, Class Advisor of the School of Civil Engineering and Transportation Engineering, introduced YRCTI’s development history to international students and provided an in-depth interpretation of the specialty courses and training objectives. Gao also encouraged them to cherish this learning opportunity and strive to enhance their professional skills to lay a solid foundation for their future career development.

During the meeting, all international students listened attentively and interacted actively, showing a strong interest and anticipation for their study and life at YRCTI. This class meeting not only helped international students quickly adapt to the new environment but also laid a good foundation for their smooth integration into campus life. The School of International Education will keep paying close attention to the learning and living needs of international students and continuously provide them with comprehensive support to help them achieve academic success and personal growth during their stay in China.

Down the road, the School of International Education will further optimize the management and services for international students, promote the high-quality development of YRCTI’s international education, and build a broader platform for cultural exchange and talent cultivation between China and the rest of the world.
