各位2025級新同學，尊敬的老師們，學校全體管理、服務團隊，以及各位尊敬的家長和來賓：
大家上午好！今天我的致辭面向全體信息科大人，特別是即將在這里開啟全新人生篇章的近5900名本科和研究生新生們。
又到了北京一年最好的季節。在這個滿載希望的收獲季節，歡迎大家來到北京信息科技大學美麗的沙河校園。如果你是新生，那我要對你說：“恭喜！”你已經成功“通關”高考，“上岸”研考，邁出了非常重要的一步，進入了一個充滿可能性的階段。從今天開始，這個校園會成為你探索真理、培養技能和塑造個性的地方。而如果你是返校的師生，我要說：“歡迎回來！”在主城完成補給，也讓主城因你們而實現“補給”！我們剛剛度過一個時長近三個月的夏季學期和暑期。你們的成長和貢獻，使信息科大在“高校榮譽榜”再刷新段位，讓公眾和媒體都不禁直呼“信息科大，這次真的起飛了”！學校變得更加多元、更富有活力。
今年暑期，全球首個人形機器人“奧運會”燃動冰絲帶。我校作為核心承辦力量，七大學院驚艷亮相——“人機協同”足球賽、賽博“蹦迪”秀場、關節“精密工廠”……賽場因信息科大而閃亮！這個過去的暑期，全校師生又興奮了一把。高考錄取分數與位次再創新高，“強勢崛起”“又一次飛起來”成為媒體對我們的共同評價。這份成績單是學校在新工科建設、產教融合、科教融匯、育人模式創新等領域厚積薄發的生動體現。從“實業救國”到“工業報國”再到“信息強國”，88年來學校始終與國家和民族發展同頻共振，在歷代信息科大人接續奮斗的歷程中，形成了鮮明的信息特色、國防特色和行業特色。今天的信息科大，作為信息特色鮮明的地方高水平應用型大學的典范，正在以最昂揚的發展態勢，贏得社會各界的廣泛認可。今天，隨著天樞書院與伊利諾伊工程學院迎來首批新生，我們的辦學格局又實現了新的跨越�？梢哉f，你們與信息科大的相遇恰逢其時，這是一場青春力量與時代使命的雙向奔赴，我們每一個人都將在這里親歷學校邁向高水平大學建設的每一個堅實步伐。
每年的開學典禮，都讓我感到無限的希望和未來的可能性。今年，我尤其期待，因為這個世界正在經歷巨大的變化——科技發展迅猛，社會動態復雜，而教育，也在快速地重新定義自己。面對更高質量的時代發展需求，信息科大不甘人后，敢為人先——從2025級開始，我們為大家修訂了新版培養方案，有些本科專業比起之前最多減少了30學分！那么，當學分減少，我們應該在大學學什么？
在全球范圍內，大學教育正經歷著一個深刻的轉型。從傳統課堂到線上教育，從固定課程到靈活學制，關于“學分”這一教育學核心的討論已經擺在了最前沿。許多大學正在減少學分總數，它不只是一個數字的變化，而是教育理念的一次轉型。顛覆基礎教育階段的“確定性”計劃，轉而擁抱大學階段更多未知的無限可能。這是一種賦權，但更是一種對人類更高階素質的要求——在自律中實現自由！每個人不再是課程表的“工具人”，而是大學生活的“主理人”；每項學習不再是“任務驅動”的模塊，而是長期實用主義的“目標”。
今天，我想用五句話與大家分享，在這個學分減少的時代，大學應該扮演什么角色，在大學的這幾年，又該找到怎樣的方向。
第一句話我想分享的是：告別學習“流水線”，讓大學變成你們的“試驗場”。
減少學分并不是減少你們的學習機會，而“0注水”“高提純”，讓大學所學真正變為向未來喂料的“細糠”。當人工智能可以完成精密實驗、可以操刀腦部手術、甚至可以提供情緒價值時，我們的專業是否還真的有底氣說“面向未來”？
但不要盲目地“知識恐慌”，刨去“AI幻覺”始終需要權威矯正外，我們更應該思考如何利用空出的時間培育我們人類獨有的專屬技能樹。學分“留白”，是對真正技能的“還綠”——不論你是主修工程學、理學，還是人文學科，每一個自由時段，都應該被用來培養超越工具時代的那些核心能力——包括批判性思維、創新能力，以及永久的好奇心。信息科大也將為你們的技能“還綠”開辟一片廣袤的“試驗田”——帶著Python編碼去阿里云創造自己的智能體；帶著文化創新去我們的海外合作高校共同探討人類命運共同體……上學期我們的“春假”一夜走紅，今年夏季學期的輔修、微專業、暑期學校、暑研等為滿足同學們更高質量、更加多樣的教育需求提供了豐富多彩的課程和實踐。
第二句話我想分享的是：大膽“學科混搭”，讓“縫隙”迸發最頂流的“創意”。
從人工智能到低空經濟，從納米生物學到碳中和科學工程，無數時下大熱的科學創新都始發于學科間的縫隙。就像我們賴以生存的自然界，它從不彌合裂縫，而是創造新的生機。
在信息科大亦然。強制性的學分少了，正好可以大膽嘗試一下“學科混搭”，基于實際問題，項目式學習，以長期實用主義讓學科真正為我所用，“混搭出新”。氣候變化問題并不能僅僅依靠環境科學解決，需要經濟學家、社會學家、數據分析師共同合作推進�！傲孔佑嬎恪钡难芯績H靠物理學家是不夠的，數學家、化學家和工程師的協作同樣不可或缺。甚至今天的電影制作，也頻繁融合數字特效和AI生成技術。這就是為什么“碳中和”的攻堅需要多門學科背景的專家學者共同努力，這就是為什么放假前我們把學院的名稱定義為“傳播藝術與科學學院”。研究生院近期也將推出交叉學科培育計劃。從這個角度看，減少學分為你們提供了跨學科探索的空間，因為你們的大學生涯將不再僅僅專注于一個學科，而是鼓勵你通過多樣化的路徑去構建全新知識。
我鼓勵你們試探兩個或多個學科之間的“縫隙”，去質疑“為什么”？去問“怎么辦”？因為這些縫隙往往就是創新發生的地方。世界已經告訴我們：交叉人才是未來的需求。既能洞悉社會又能操作技術，你們才能成為不可替代的人。或許在新學期，你們就能看到更多“多師同課”的現象，他們可能來自不同院系、不同專業，甚至不同職能部門和行業領域，學校將主動而為向“縫隙”靠近、向“縫隙”求變，也期待能為你們帶來更多啟發、激活更多靈感。我們的教師們、管理服務團隊的員工們，也將會在方方面面給同學們提供這樣的“縫隙”和“界面”。
第三句話我想分享的是：自帶“思辨buff”，永遠為靠近真理發問。
談到社會的變化，就不得不提我們所處的一個重要時代——信息過載與技術過載的沖突時代。今天的新聞不再是靜止的，而是快速流動的；我們的算法在推送信息，也在操控情緒。減少學分并不意味著減少知識的重要性，反而要求你們在多元信息里找到更深刻的洞察力和責任感。
今年，對于世界人民，特別是華夏兒女而言，都是意義非凡的一年。就在幾天前，我們通過不同渠道共同見證了九三閱兵，中國人民以這種莊嚴、肅穆的方式“銘記歷史、緬懷先烈”，也是以這種方式慶祝中國人民抗日戰爭暨世界反法西斯戰爭勝利80周年，向世界傳遞“珍愛和平，開創未來”的理念與堅持。實證當前，但全球“歷史虛無主義”仍有抬頭之勢，以個別國家為主導的世界話語體系與傳播渠道仍舊被操控和壟斷，我們耳聽未必為實，所見也未必全然為真。這就要求我們不斷拓展視野、打開思維，側觀世界、多元取證，用客觀的視角去觀察、用辯證的思維去思考，打好“地基”再“起高樓”。
于是，減少學分的大學并非減少價值，它是一個提示——你們應該把課堂之外的時間，用在思考如何成為技術、社會和人性之間的橋梁，如何用去偽存真的方式去更接近真相。這是你們今天能夠做到的，也是未來必須承擔的。具備適應變化的能力，也具備讓社會變得更公正、更美好的使命。
第四句話我想分享的是：做高質量“時間管理大師”，“主線+支線”都要亮。
學分的減少，是學習主導權的移交，是時間管理權的歸位。這種從“外置枷鎖”，內化為“內驅動力”的高階轉化，是每一名大學生真正意義上的“成人禮”。
對于每一名新生而言，完成學業的精專、創新是為學的“主線任務”，但在以“過好自己的人生”為終極目標的沿途上，這卻只能算得上是“支線任務”。因為為學是路徑，立身是根本。大學就為每個人豐富人生厚度、拓展閱歷維度提供了最佳的時期——大膽對話，去和不同背景、不同思維方式的同學坐下來交流；全心體驗，走出校園，站在社區、社會甚至全球場景中，體會“賦予時間意義”；自我設計、日臻完善，最終取得階段性成就。未來的世界，技能和知識雖然重要，但它更需要兼具智慧與溫度的人。那些能夠理解不同文化、包容多樣性，并致力于創造美好生活的人，才能成為各行各業的領導者，才能成為主導自己人生的“神”。大學的幾年——哪怕學分減少——都應該成為這種深度與厚度成長的黃金窗口。因為，當你們走出校園，這份深度與厚度將成為你們迎接挑戰、創造未來最大的底氣。
第五句話我想分享的是：學分精簡不是“減法”，而是鍛造“知識晶核”的“乘法”。
親愛的同學們和老師們，學分的減少不是一個對教育的妥協，而是讓教育更加精煉的嘗試。它不是簡單的“減法”，而是一次對于每個人精準施策、去粗取精的“晶核乘法”。課堂上，我們力爭做到“門門金課”，摒棄無效“淘金”；知識傳導和積累上，我們力爭做到“高密度能量塊”，一改“大水漫灌”，讓“知識晶核”從“形核”到“長大”，都能鍛造出更堅固、穩定的“人才晶核”！
在這樣一個無可預測的世界里，每一種過時的思維模式都可能成為發展的阻礙，而教育的意義，就在于幫助你們學會以獨立的視角和創新的思維去解決問題�；蛟S學分的減少看似在縮小學習的“范圍”，但它實際上在擴大學習的“深度”。這樣的教育指引你們直面難題、突破自我，在奔向未來時，能夠用專業和信念書寫屬于你們的答案。這樣的轉型，要求你們更加專注于從精煉的知識中汲取養分，修煉內心的定力與應對未知的能力。你們作為年輕一代，有義務以智慧與勇氣，去面對那些挑戰。同時，你們也有權利和力量去定義未來的樣貌。如果說學分的減少標志著一種教育理念的轉型，那么你們就是未來理念的踐行者。
我希望同學們在這所大學里，不僅僅追逐高績點，而是追逐更宏大的目標——去塑造你們的頭腦、內心和人生態度。愿你們像科學家一樣去質疑，像藝術家一樣去創造，像哲學家一樣去思辨，像社會活動家一樣去關懷。這些目標，正是大學教育最本質的價值所在。愿你們以充滿智慧、同理心和行動力的姿態，迎接每一分屬于大學時光的挑戰與機遇。在這新學期伊始之際，我也再次希望我們全體師生員工、全球信息科大人一道努力，為同學們搭建更多跨學科交流、文化碰撞以及實踐活動的橋梁，讓校園不只是一個學習的場所，更是一個滋養好奇心和成長的沃土。正是有了師生共同的努力，這所大學才能成為一個培養獨立思想、創新精神和社會責任感的重要平臺。
感謝你們選擇來到這里，愿我們的校園成為你探索的樂園，成長的家園，和夢想的起點！
祝各位同學、師生員工新學年一切順利！謝謝！
Dear members of the Class of 2025, esteemed faculty,
dedicated staff, respected parents, and honored guests:
Good morning!
Today, my message is addressed to the entire Beijing
Information Science and Technology University （BISTU）
community, especially the 5,900 new undergraduate and
graduate students who are beginning an exciting new
chapter in their lives. It is a pleasure to welcome you
all.
We are gathered here during one of Beijing’s most
beautiful seasons, a time of hope and harvest. To our
new students, let me extend my warmest congratulations!
You have successfully navigated the rigorous challenges
of college-entrance or graduate-entrance examinations.
Stepping onto this campus today is the first step into a
world of unlimited possibilities. This is where you’ll
uncover truths, sharpen your skills, and begin to shape
your future self.
And to our returning faculty, students, and staff, I
say, "Welcome back!" Thank you for contributing to and
furthering BISTU’s growth and vitality. After a long
summer semester and break lasting nearly three months,
we return to find our efforts bearing fruit. Our
collective achievements have elevated BISTU’s
standing—and once again the public has taken notice,
saying, “BISTU is truly soaring!” The university has
become more dynamic, diverse, and innovative, thanks to
all of you.
This summer, our institution played a leading role in
hosting the world’s first humanoid robotics “Olympics”
at Beijing’s iconic Ice Ribbon arena. Seven of our
schools showcased their strengths, from human-machine
collaborative soccer games to cyber dance sessions and
joint-precision manufacturing. BISTU lit up the
international stage, and once again, our students,
faculty, and staff felt a surge of pride in what we’ve
accomplished together.
Meanwhile, the university has achieved new milestones
in admissions. This year’s intake broke previous
records, with higher scores and rankings, earning the
media reaction: “BISTU is rising stronger than ever!”
These accomplishments reflect years of steady progress
in new engineering disciplines, collaborations with
industry, integration of science and education, and
innovative pedagogical models. Since its founding 88
years ago, BISTU has always aligned itself with the
priorities of our nation—moving from "industrial
salvation" to "national service through
industrialization" and now to "strengthening the nation
through information technology." Generation after
generation of BISTU scholars have dedicated themselves
to this mission while shaping the university into what
it is today: a distinguished leader in applied research,
information technologies, and high-level talent
development within critical industries.
With the Astra Residential College and the Illinois
Tech College of Engineering joining the University this
year, our academic structure has reached new heights.
For you, the Class of 2025, your arrival is perfectly
timed. This is not just the beginning of your university
journey but also the unfolding story of BISTU’s progress
toward becoming a world-class institution. Together, we
will make history as BISTU continues its rise.
What Does It Mean When Credits Are Reduced?
Each year, opening convocation fills me with hope and
a sense of boundless possibility. This year, however,
feels especially momentous. We are living in a time of
great transformation—rapid technological advancements,
societal complexities, and a redefinition of what
learning and education truly mean. In this context,
BISTU remains committed to excellence by embracing
change and leading boldly.
Beginning with the Class of 2025, we have reformed our
academic curriculum, with some undergraduate programs
reducing credit requirements by as much as 30. This
prompts a question: when the number of credits
decreases, what should we focus on learning during
university?
Around the world, higher education is undergoing a
profound shift. From traditional lecture halls to online
platforms, rigid curricula to flexible pathways, the
very meaning of “credits” is being reexamined. Reducing
credit hours is not merely a technical adjustment—it
represents a philosophical transformation. It sheds the
rigidity of predictable learning plans, commonly seen in
earlier stages of education, in favor of embracing the
endless possibilities of university life.
This shift is an invitation. It empowers students and
calls for a higher level of engagement—a transition from
being passive participants in a curriculum to active
architects of a personal and academic future. Decreased
credit requirements are not about doing less; they are
about doing more of what matters.
Today, I want to share “five key insights” about what
we should learn in this new era of reduced credits and
what kind of university experience we should aim to
create.
Insight 1: Transform the University into Your
"Experimentation Lab"
Less is more. Reduced credits are not about giving you
less education but removing unnecessary “filler” so that
what you learn truly becomes "high precision"
preparation for the future. At a time when artificial
intelligence can conduct experiments, perform surgeries,
and even provide emotional support, we must ask
ourselves whether the skillsets taught by our programs
are genuinely preparing students for such a future.
But let us not fall into the trap of fearing progress.
Instead, think critically and intentionally about the
newfound time opened up by this academic reform. Use it
to cultivate uniquely human abilities—the skills that
cannot be replaced. Critical thinking, innovative
creativity, and an insatiable curiosity should guide
your learning.
At BISTU, we’re committed to providing a fertile “test
field” for your growth. Want to program your own AI on
Alibaba Cloud? Do it. Want to explore cultural
innovation alongside global peers? We’ll support you.
Already, initiatives like our spring break projects,
summer terms, micro-credentials, and auxiliary minors
have brought customized, high-quality learning
opportunities to our students.
Insight 2: Embrace the “Intersections”—Where True
Innovation Happens
From AI and carbon neutrality to nanobiotechnology and
quantum computing, today’s greatest breakthroughs are
born at the boundaries between disciplines. Nature
itself thrives on gaps, evolving new opportunities in
every crevice.
At BISTU, reduced credit requirements mean you can now
engage in more cross-disciplinary exploration. Tackle
pressing global challenges like climate change or
renewable energy by approaching them from multi-angle
perspectives: as collaborations between economists,
sociologists, data scientists, and engineers. Starting
this semester, you’ll see more "co-teaching" across
departments and increased focus on problem-based
innovation. Our Graduate School is soon going to open up
several interdisciplinary program initiatives for you to
participate.
We encourage you to "mix and match" subjects,
experiment with project-based learning, and build
connections between seemingly unrelated areas. For
instance, you might find your passion for "quantum
computing" at the intersection of physics, mathematics,
or even chemistry. Multi-disciplinary talent isn’t just
desirable for the future workforce—it’s essential.
Insight 3: Always Ask "Why"—And Pursue Truth
Relentlessly
Society today faces enormous information overload.
Algorithms feed us content, skewing perspectives and
manipulating emotions. But understanding the world
requires depth and discernment. Reducing credits does
not mean reducing the importance of knowledge, but
rather requires you to find deeper insights and a sense
of responsibility in diverse information.
This year, particularly for Chinese society, holds
profound meaning as we commemorate the 80th anniversary
of global victory over Japanese aggression and fascism.
While historical evidence remains clear, the global
trend of "historical nihilism" continues to rise. The
narrative frameworks and communication channels
predominantly controlled by certain nations perpetuate a
distorted and monopolized worldview. What we hear may
not necessarily be true, and what we see may not fully
reflect reality. This calls on us to expand our
horizons, open our minds, and develop a multidimensional
approach to understanding the world—observing
objectively and thinking critically with a dialectical
mindset. Only by laying a strong foundation can we reach
new heights.
Thus, reducing credit hours at universities is not a
reduction in value; it is a reminder—a call to action.
The time freed from traditional curricula should be used
to reflect on how you can become a bridge between
technology, society, and humanity, and how you can use
methods of discernment to get closer to the truth. This
is something you can begin to do now, but it is also a
responsibility you will bear in the future. It is about
cultivating the ability to adapt to change while
bringing about a more just and better society.
Insight 4: Master the Art of Time—Balance “Main
Quests” and “Side Quests”
Reduced credits place the management of your education
back in your hands over your time management. This
shift—marking the transition from external pressure to
internal drive—is the true “coming of age” moment for
every student.
For every incoming freshman, academic mastery and
innovation constitute the "main quest" of your
university journey, but when viewed in the broader
context of the ultimate goal—living a fulfilling
life—this academic pursuit is merely a "side quest."
Education is the path, but personal growth is the
foundation. College is the prime season for each of you
to enrich the depth of your life and expand the
dimensions of your experience. It is a time to engage in
meaningful conversations—sit down with classmates from
different backgrounds and learn from varying
perspectives. Fully immerse yourself in new
experiences—step beyond the campus, participate in
community, societal, or even global affairs, and
understand what it means to give your time purpose.
Through self-reflection and continuous improvement, you
can ultimately achieve milestones of personal progress.
In the world ahead, skills and knowledge will
undoubtedly be important, but the future demands
individuals who combine intellect with empathy. Leaders
in every field will be those who can understand
different cultures, embrace diversity, and strive to
create a better life for others. Those who possess the
wisdom and warmth to do so will not only lead others but
will also be the true architects of their own lives.
The college years—credit reductions
notwithstanding—should remain a golden window for
developing such depth and breadth of your character.
Because when you leave this campus, it is that very
depth and breadth that will serve as your greatest
foundation for tackling challenges and shaping the
future.
Insight 5: Reduction Is About Refinement—Achieving
Greater Depth
The reduction in credits is not a compromise on
education; it is a deliberate attempt to make education
more refined. It is not simply a matter of
"subtraction," but rather a calculated "core
multiplication" process—one that tailors education to
each individual by streamlining and honing its focus. In
the classroom, we strive for every course to be a
"golden class," eliminating ineffective "prospecting."
In terms of knowledge transmission and accumulation, we
aim to create "high-density energy blocks," replacing
the outdated "flood irrigation" approach with a process
where the "knowledge nucleus," from its initial
"crystallization" to its eventual "growth," is
meticulously forged into a strong and stable "talent
grain."
In an unpredictable world, any outdated mode of
thinking can become an obstacle to progress. The true
purpose of education is to help you learn how to tackle
problems with an independent perspective and innovative
mindset. While the reduction in credits may seem to
"narrow" the scope of your learning, it is, in reality,
designed to "deepen" the impact of your education. This
kind of education enables you to confront challenges
head-on, push your own boundaries, and move toward the
future—armed with both expertise and conviction to write
your unique answers.
This transformation, however, asks more of you. It
requires you to focus on extracting nourishment from
distilled knowledge and to build inner resilience and
the ability to navigate the unknown. As the next
generation, you have the responsibility to face
challenges with wisdom and courage. At the same time,
you have both the right and the power to define the
shape of the future. If the reduction in credits
symbolizes a shift in educational philosophy, then you
are the pioneers entrusted to bring this philosophy to
life.
I hope that during your time at BISTU, you won’t
simply chase after a high GPA, but instead, pursue more
ambitious goals—to shape your mind, your heart, and your
approach to life. May you learn to question like a
scientist, create like an artist, think critically like
a philosopher, and care deeply like a social activist.
These objectives represent the fundamental essence of
what a university education is truly about. May you
embrace each challenge and opportunity of your college
years with wisdom, empathy, and a spirit of action.
As we begin this new semester, I also reaffirm my hope
that all of us—students, faculty, staff, and everyone in
the global community of BISTU—will work together to
create more opportunities for interdisciplinary
dialogue, cultural exchange, and hands-on experiences.
Let’s make this campus not just a place for learning,
but also a fertile ground for curiosity and growth. It
is through the joint efforts of faculty and students
that this university can stand as a vital platform for
cultivating independent thinking, innovative spirit, and
a strong sense of social responsibility.
Thank you for choosing BISTU and being of part of us.
May our campus become a paradise for your exploration, a
home for your growth, and the starting point of your
dreams!
Best wishes to all of you for a successful academic
year!
Thank you!
