On October 13, a delegation led by Sun Wenbo, Party Secretary of the School of Languages and Communication Studies visited the Tangshan Institute of Beijing Jiaotong University, and extended greetings to faculty and students at the Institute. The visit aimed to deepen exchanges, explore collaboration pathways, jointly plan new initiatives for development, refine the talent cultivation model for the branch campus, and contribute to the University's "One University, Multiple Campuses" development strategy.

During the visit, the delegation toured the Tangshan campus. They inspected infrastructure including classrooms in the Zhixing Building, the public service hall in the Yisheng Building, the Tianyou Auditorium, and the Siyuan Square, gaining a detailed understanding of the Institute's infrastructure, teaching environment, and campus culture. The delegation was impressed by the well-equipped facilities and conducive educational environment. They also met with faculty members who teach there.

Following the tour, the two sides held a discussion session. The meeting was attended by Wang Dayong, the Party Secretary and Director of the Tangshan Institute; Deputy Directors Dong Jingzhu and Wang Jin; Assistant Directors Li Jiazhi and Guan Jianguo; along with other relevant staff.

The meeting began with a joint viewing of the promotional video for the Tangshan Institute. The video provided the delegation with a more intuitive and systematic understanding of the Institute's development history and overall planning. During the discussion session, Wang Dayong first highlighted the Institute's general profile, distinctive models, and development achievements in cultivating Professional Master's Degree students. Sun Wenbo then detailed the overall profile of the School, placing special emphasis on its unique strengths in teaching, distinctive approaches to talent cultivation, and the current student profile. The two sides engaged in in-depth, candid, and constructive discussions on topics including joint student cultivation, curriculum and teaching reform, sharing of high-quality resources, and innovation in Party building. Leaders and faculty from both sides further exchanged views on their respective areas of responsibility. The communication enhanced mutual understanding and led to preliminary consensus on collaboration in several areas, laying a solid foundation for future substantive cooperation.

In the afternoon, the Party Committee delegation of the School held a face-to-face meeting with all students of majors in Translation and Interpreting and Journalism and Communication currently studying at the Tangshan Institute. They inquired about the students' academic progress and living conditions, carefully listened to and recorded their feedback and suggestions regarding coursework, practical arrangements, and living services. The delegation expressed their commitment to actively coordinate resources and work with the Tangshan Institute to address practical difficulties faced by the students, striving to create a better learning and living environment.

This visit not only strengthened the ties between the School and the Tangshan Institute, but also marked a promising start for future in-depth collaboration in talent cultivation, teaching and research, and Party building and ideological-political work. Both sides expressed their intention to build on this exchange to elaborate collaboration details, innovate cooperation mechanisms, jointly advance the University's "One University, Multiple Campuses" strategy, and contribute to cultivating outstanding talents.
