Lingnan University will organize more visits to universities on the Chinese mainland to strengthen cooperation and spread the concept of liberal arts education, thereby contributing to the nation’s diversification of education.
In an exclusive interview, Joe Qin Sizhao, president of the university, emphasized the importance of holistic student development in today’s China. He highlighted the significance of nurturing physical and psychological well-being, cultivating personalities, and instilling values and life goals among students, all of which resonate with the principles of liberal arts education upheld by Lingnan University.
Qin expressed the university’s commitment to promoting liberal arts education to further diversify educational opportunities on the mainland. By expanding its reach, Lingnan aims to deepen educational and research collaboration while providing students with unique and enriching experiences outside the traditional academic curriculum.
To actualize this vision, Lingnan has already partnered with prestigious institutions like Peking University’s Yuanpei College to offer innovative programs. In a recent collaborative effort, students from Peking University were invited to participate in a liberal arts education program at Lingnan University, attending classes and engaging in innovation competitions.
Qin’s proactive approach in visiting over 20 schools on the mainland to introduce Lingnan University and its liberal arts concept underscores the institution’s dedication to transforming and enhancing the educational landscape in China. Through these initiatives, Lingnan aims to inspire a new generation of students to embrace a well-rounded, intellectually stimulating, and socially impactful academic experience.
