(i) AIT President’s China Trip Report

Email from President: 28 Sept. 2017

Dear Board Members and Colleagues

 

I led AIT's delegation on an official trip to Xi'an, the ancient capital of China and currently the educational hub of the western part of China. Xi'an has many world ranked universities. My trip is related to three major universities in Xi'an including Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xidian University and Northwestern Polytectechnic University (NPU).

DAY 1 (22 September 2017)

Our first stop is Xi'an Jiaotong University, where I was welcomed by its University President, Prof. Wang Shuguo, with Director He Changzhong and Deputy Director Lei Yanjun of the Office of International Affairs, and Head of Department of Public Administration, Professor Guo Xuesong.

President Wang Shuguo informed us that Xi'an Jiaotong University, recently declared as one of the China's world class universities, is moving toward more internationalization with focus on Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Integration of the University and Society. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, President Wang hoped that the Asian Institute of technology and the Xi'an Jiaotong University will take the opportunity to develop a closer collaboration. He also referred to the recent visit to Xi'an Jiaotong University of HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, also our AIT Alumna.

I have informed President Wang our mission in China this time, which includes exploring the possible collaboration with Xi'an Jiaotong University on Rail Transportation System, and a possible joint Executive Master's degree in business administration with Chinese business orientation. The two sides agreed to continue discussions in more details. At the end, I have extended my cordial invitation for President Wang Shuguo to lead a delegation visit AIT at his convenient time.

As the major trading site of the silk road, Xi'an has emerged as the site of a major international cooperation associated with the Belt and Road Initiative. The Xi'an Jiaotong university is home to a vigorous international program of research and exchange. At present there are more than 400 Foreign students from all over the world predominantly from Pakistan, Malaysia, Russia, Bangladesh, Nepal, ASEAN countries, Gulf countries, Central Asian countries, Australia, New Zealand and European countries.

DAY 2 (23 September 2017)

The main mission of my trip to China was to participate in the "Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) - Presidents' Forum on Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education" hosted by Shaanxi Provincial People’s Government. The Forum was successfully organized by Xidian University, which is one of AIT's partnered universities in China.
The Forum was attended on invitation by Presidents of over 100 domestic and foreign universities. One of the objectives is "to build a cooperative platform for cultivation of talents among the universities along the Belt and Road Region". At the end, all presidents jointly presented "the Xi'an Declaration for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education", with reference to the BRI.

I had the honor to be a keynote speaker to the full-house audience in the Opening Session. The title of my keynote speech is "Global Competence for the Sustainable Future of Humankind". I have called for a new platform of universities in the BRI to start preparing a new breed of intellectuals, which shall become globally responsible citizens for the sustainable future of mankind.

DAY 3 (24 September 2017)

I was invited by the Board Chair Dr. Zhang Wei of Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) in Xi'an to deliver a closing speech for the International conference on "China's ties with the Outside World through the Belt and Road Initiative" held at NPU from September 23 to 24, 2017.

The conference attracted over 300 international scholars. Professor Ge Jinxing, from Fudan University, Professor Michael Dennis from University of California, Irvine and Professor Paul Jay from Loyola University, Chicago, delivered keynote speeches.

I had the honor to address all the participants in the closing ceremony. I made a point that the BRI in the spirit of "mutual trust" could provide a golden opportunity for BRI scholars to bridge the cultural divide and solve global issues such as climate change for the sustainable future of mankind. 

I would like to congratulate Professor Yin Xiaohuang, Dean of School of Foreign Languages and Cultures, Chairman of the Conference for the grand success of this Conference.

(xvii) Stray Dogs/Cats and Pets

AIT community has raised serious safety concern about stray dogs and cats in the campus.
Some of the safety concerns are:
-  Children as well as adults are being chased by these dogs and even bitten by cats
- Cats are found to be living in the area  of the units provided for gas cylinders and in the corridors of the accommodation units
-  Both cats and dogs are the cause for unhygienic and smelly corridors (In spite of Janitorial regular cleaning)
- Stray animals may carry serious virus, especially if they are not properly vaccinated.

In this regard, Office of Facilities and Asset Management (OFAM) strongly discourages everyone from feeding stray dogs and cats.  Feeding them will just attract them to come back again and again.  Please to kindly support OFAM’s effort to eliminate stray animals in the campus for our own safety.

Additionally, OFAM has received reports about pets in the dormitories and in staff housing units. Please be reminded that as per AIT housing policy, pets are only allowed in faculty houses but not in student dormitories and staff units. Pets found roaming around even with collar will be caught and given to the animal foundation.

If pets are found in the unit/dorm, at first warning tenant will be fined and if he/she still violates the policy, the tenant may be required to vacate the housing unit. Kindly inform security (call 02524-6000), if any stray dog is found in the campus.
