On September 14, 2026, the College of Humanities and Law held an orientation meeting for the incoming class of 2026 in the Lecture Hall of Building C. Members of the College leadership, the directors of the Student Affairs Office, the Director's Office and the Academic Affairs Section, the full-time organization officer, heads of the various departments, class advisers of the 2026 cohort, and all 2026 undergraduates and postgraduates attended the meeting.

Dean Wu Zhenjun addressed the new students on the College's development and the growth of young people. He detailed the College's achievements in recent years, noting that the College of Humanities and Law is currently at the peak of its developmental history, and encouraged the students to cherish this favourable opportunity, clarify their direction for growth, learn how to conduct themselves and handle affairs, and shoulder the mission of the times. He hoped that they would base themselves on professional study, integrate personal growth into the College's development and the nation's construction, and demonstrate the mission of youth in serving society.

Outstanding alumnus Hou Xiaobing then spoke with emotion about the College's historical evolution and shared his reflections on his own years at Tianjin University of Science & Technology. He introduced in detail the development and industry prospects of the law firm where he now works, giving the students a more intuitive understanding of their future career paths. He urged the students to cherish their time at university, study their professional knowledge solidly, hone their skills, and identify their own position amid the trends of the times. He said he would provide full support in terms of internships, practical training and career development, and hoped that the students would clarify their direction, increase their capabilities and serve society.

Professor Zhao Linxiao then gave a lecture on professional understanding and the shift in university study methods. Addressing the significant differences between university and high school in learning mode, thinking style and self-management, she offered systematic guidance on university study methods, helping students adapt to the new environment and master a new rhythm. She also introduced in detail the faculty structure, teaching arrangements and curriculum systems of each program, helping students further understand the professional strengths and training characteristics of each field. This provided the freshmen with a comparatively clear picture of university study and provided more specific reference for their subsequent academic planning and development decisions.

A new beginning opens a new journey. The College will continue to improve its systems for student cultivation and development support, guiding the class of 2026 to firm up their professional ideals, develop strong capabilities, and write a chapter of youth in the practice of rule-of-law development.
