Chapter 755: Chapter 435: New Enrollment Reform Plan (Seeking Subscription)_1

Ever since Mist City Arts and Science University hosted the inauguration ceremony for the graphene manufacturing area and the leaders of Mist City for a school inspection, its development shot up as if it had gotten a booster.

All aspects of university affairs have been progressing smoothly.

Time flew by and now it was already June, and the first half of the 2022 academic year was just about to finish.

"Principal Ding, our academic results for this semester have seen a significant improvement from last semester," reported the director of Academic Affairs, Qi Chunsheng, in the Principal’s office in the Administration Building.

"Regarding faculty construction, we have recruited a total of six professors from various universities across the country this semester, and we are seeing a gradual increase in hiring doctoral and graduate students as lecturers..."

Qi Chunsheng particularly briefed Principal Ding on the construction of the teacher team, which was a top priority for Mist City Arts and Science University.

Every year, Mist City Arts and Science University admits tens of thousands of students. With only two academic years currently in session, the number of teachers was barely enough to meet the demands.

After this semester ends, the university would have to recruit new students in September, and the number of teachers would have to match this influx.

In addition to the basic teaching staff, Mist City Arts and Science University is continually hiring more professor-level faculty members.

A long time ago, Ding Yue personally recruited a few professors.

Subsequently, Mist City Arts and Science University offered generous conditions, and as the university’s comprehensive strength and research influence continued to progress, it started attracting more and more professors.

So far, the number of professors at Mist City Arts and Science University had reached double digits, with even more associate professors.

We also recruited from abroad, including a graduate from the Wharton School of Business, Director Chen Yilin of our School of Business Administration. Based on our teaching arrangements, we should be bringing in more high-quality faculty from abroad in the future," continued Director Qi.

"That sounds good," Ding Yue nodded and said with a smile: "I favor hiring more overseas Chinese teachers. As for foreign teachers, except for the English department, the others...may not be quite interested in us."

In fact, Ding Yue was not eager to recruit too many foreigners. After all, a number of foreign language teachers taught in Mist City Arts and Science University.

"Understood, Principal Ding," Qi Chunsheng nodded.

"Oh, by the way, have we considered retaining Professor Yang Kaining from the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology who is currently participating in biomedical engineering research?" asked Ding Yue when the topic of overseas Chinese professors came up, and he remembered Professor Yang Kaining from the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology.

Professor Yang Kaining’s abilities, status, and influence goes without saying.

When Ding Yue initially invited Professor Yang Kaining, he had expressed a desire to return to China to continue his career.

If the strength of Mist City Arts and Science University’s medical school and biological sciences were able to impress Professor Yang Kaining, wouldn’t he consider staying?

Such a scenario would be amazing, especially if the professor’s doctoral students leave and Professor Yang gets to stay!

"Err... Principal Ding, Professor Yang is a faculty member of the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology. He may not quite..."

Qi Chunsheng showed a confused look. However, Ding Yue merely smiled lightly and said, "Director Qi, give it your effort. Anything could happen. So what if it’s the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology? One day, our Mist City Arts and Science University will surely surpass it!"

Upon hearing Principal Ding’s words, Qi Chunsheng found his thoughts to be awesome, but implementing them would be relatively challenging.

Surpass the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology? How long would that take?

Fifty years?

A hundred years?

Or even longer? After all, the Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology is a world-class institution ranked in the global top ten!

Principal Ding has had bold ideas like this more than once. As one of the important leaders of Mist City Arts and Science University, Qi Chunsheng can only listen to these thoughts and not take them too seriously.

"Principal Ding, if Professor Yang Kaining and our medical school team succeed with the biomedical engineering project, we might be able to use it as a catalyst for convincing him to stay."

Thinking it through, Qi Chunsheng felt this was the only opportunity.

Otherwise, a professor from Swiss Zurich Federal Institute of Technology, why would Yang Kaining choose to stay at Mist City Arts and Science University?

"Alright."

Having given it a thought, Ding Yue found this to be the only chance to retain Professor Yang Kaining.

If the biomedical engineering project was successful, Ding Yue planned to hold a celebratory banquet.

He would use this occasion to have a talk with Professor Yang Kaining.

Believing in the power of Mist City Arts and Science University’s strength, exemplified by the development of 3D bio-printing technology, he believed it would surely impress Professor Yang.

"Also, Principal Ding, after this semester ends, I will arrange for the enrollment of new students during the summer holidays. Our admission video, brochures, and other materials are actively being prepared," reported Qi Chunsheng.
