Announcement for the 60th Anniversary Celebrations of Sichuan International Studies University (SISU)

Write: Chandra [2011-05-20]

Sichuan InternationalStudiesUniversity is about to usher in a most magnificent moment. On May 2, 2010, the University will celebrate its 60th anniversary. We sincerely wish to express our respect and gratitude to all levels of leadership, to the alumni at home and abroad, and to the community, who have consistently provided care and support for the development of the university through the past decades.

In the past 60 years, SichuanInternationalStudiesUniversity has continuously developed and grown. Today, it is the only university in Southwest China specialized in foreign language education, enjoying an important position among the institutions of higher foreign language education in the country. SISU was founded in May 1950, originally as the Russian Training Corps of Southwest Military and Political University, People's Liberation Army; it then became the Russian Group of the No. 2 Senior Infantry School, PLA; next the Russian Department of Southwest People's Revolutionary University; Southwest Russian School. In May 1959, it was renamed as Sichuan Foreign Language Institute (SichuanInternationalStudiesUniversity). 60 years cultivation has resulted in a bumper harvest, as the school has so far turned out over 80,000 graduates working and living both at home and abroad. The University s reputation and influence have continuously improved.

In the past 60 years, SichuanInternationalStudiesUniversityhas forged ahead vigorously and aggressively. The school has gradually developed into a multidisciplinary university of international studies, majoring in education of foreign languages and foreign literature and also in culture, education, economics, management, law and other disciplines. In the past 60 years, the school has exerted itself painstakingly and fruitfully. It has developed from the initial Russian training unit, to a single-language and single -disciplinary school and eventually to an international teaching and research university. SISU s people have been always in a steadfast and relentless pursuit of improvement.

In the past 60 years, SichuanInternationalStudiesUniversityhas persisted through all kinds of hardships to improve itself. Originating from the people's army, SichuanInternationalStudiesUniversity s original motto of "unity, diligence, rigorous, realistic" is the core of SISU s spirit. The school has been fully engaged in cultivating high-quality students with an international perspective, communication skills, innovative spirits and capable of carrying out cross-cultural communication.

The 60th anniversary links the past to the future. SISU will build an important milestone in the history of its development on its 60th birthday. In the tradition of its grand and pragmatic principles, the school is prepared to hold celebrations. We have been working to complete all the preparatory work for the 60th anniversary celebrations, including collecting information on school history, international academic exchanges, alumni forums, academic report forums, anniversary celebrations, raising resources for development, and more. We hope that you will support and participate in our preparatory work! During the anniversary celebrations, we warmly welcome leaders at all levels and friends from all walks of life to join us. We also sincerely hope that alumni both at home and abroad will get together at SISU, your Alma Mater, for the brilliant celebrations.
