(Reported by Qian Zhang) On June 24, the School of Materials Science and Engineering held its 2025 Undergraduate Admissions Review and 2026 Admissions Mobilization Conference in Lecture Hall A326. The event was attended by Yong Tian, Deputy Director of the Office of Admissions and Career Services, Ke Ma, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee of the School, and the faculty members involved in the admissions work.

Ke Ma provided a comprehensive summary of the 2025 undergraduate admissions work. He noted that over the past year, the entire school had worked in close coordination and achieved solid results. He went on to introduce the related efforts the school had made in the first half of the year, including visits and exchanges with high schools in the designated recruitment areas, live-streaming sessions for 2026 admissions, and live virtual campus tours. At the same time, Ke Ma laid out the plans for the 2026 admissions cycle. He stressed the need to further raise awareness and firmly establish the mindset that the whole university acts as one united team. He called for a strong focus on high school consultation events and expanding the reach of publicity. At consultation venues, staff should be proactive, enthusiastic, patient, and meticulous, and should clearly explain the university's distinctive educational features, its competitive programs, and the admission cut-off rankings from previous years. This will help prospective students and their parents make informed choices when filling out their applications, and the team should promptly respond to the concerns of the applicants.

Yong Tian gave a systematic overview of the university's educational strengths and disciplinary features, and offered a focused explanation of key points in the new college entrance examination policies, such as the "3+1+2" subject selection model and the parallel admission mechanism. He also reported on the enrollment numbers and admission scores over the past two years, as well as the implementation of the 2026 admissions plan. This helped the faculty members accurately grasp the policies and key messaging points so they could better address the questions and concerns of prospective students and their parents.

Under the strong leadership of the School's Party Committee and guided by the example set by its leadership team, all faculty members of the School of Materials Science and Engineering will head to the admissions consultation sites with full enthusiasm and thorough preparation. They will accurately convey the School's academic strengths and distinctive approach to education to prospective students and their parents, and through solid, down-to-earth actions, get the 2026 undergraduate admissions work off to a strong start.
