Meeting in progress
In recent years, Tongji University has implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping’s important remarks on promoting the IM development, focusing on the fundamental task of fostering virtues through education, following regulations of IM development, and striving to build an all-media communication system with content construction as the foundation, advanced technology as the support, and innovative management as the guarantee. By strengthening ideological education, reforming institutional mechanisms, integrating the university expertise, and creating an IM matrix, Tongji University has launched a number of thematic IM brand products such as “Writing for China” and “Across the Great Mountains and Rivers - Tongji University in the War of Resistance against Japan”. Besides, the University has established its IM brand products such as a live broadcast channel “Listen to TA,” an alumni lifelong learning platform “Star Lecture Hall,” and a bilibili streaming platform “Leverage Math with One Problem.” In addition, Tongji University has created multi-theme and multi-form IM “Cloud Classrooms” such as joining the Communist Party of China, fighting the “Pandemic,” life education and academic consultations, which has formed an IM campus ecology, improving its communication competence, leading role, and credibility of mainstream public opinions.
