More than 50 Chinese professors, scholars and students from universities in the Houston area attended a talent recruitment event hosted by Zhang Yiqun, consul for education, for a small delegation of Tongji University on Aug 8.

Lu Peiming, newly appointed vice-president and director of human resources at Tongji University, along with two colleagues Huo Jiazhen, dean of the School of Economics and Management of Tongji University, and Yu Xiubao, DBA director, discussed their talent recruitment policy with attendants.

"My motto has always been, first, find the right people, second, make them happy," said Lu, who worked as consul for education at the Chinese Consulate General in Houston from 2004 to 2006. Lu mentioned that he was happy to be back where he had a lot of friends and good memories.
