Chapter 1535: Chapter 811: Principal Ding’s Autograph! (Please Subscribe)_2

Last semester, most students were busy with their internships. This semester, most of them have shifted their focus towards their graduation theses.

For this reason, Mist City Arts and Science University has specifically set up a dedicated area in the library for students preparing their graduation theses, as the materials needed can be quite extensive and complex.

"When I first came to Mist City Arts and Science University, I could never have imagined such a bright future for myself."

"Alas, four years have flown by in the blink of an eye."

"It’s time to graduate."

Since the start of this semester, seniors at Mist City Arts and Science University began expressing their sentiments on the school’s forum.

Indeed, many students who are about to graduate initially came to Mist City Arts and Science University simply to fulfill their college dreams. Who could have expected that they would fall in love with their majors due to the influence of the school environment, and learn all the necessary knowledge and skills for their fields over the years? Now, they are close to graduating and most have already secured commendable internships.

Favorably, students interning at companies under Feiyue Group only need to successfully graduate and receive their diploma, after which they can be officially employed with salaries soaring to well over ten thousand from a few thousand during their internship.

Today.

Ding Yue, as usual, went to his office at the university to "work".

Director Qi Chunsheng from the Academic Affairs Office came to meet Ding Yue.

"Director Qi, is there something you need?"

Ding Yue, seeing Director Qi Chunsheng, asked with a smile.

"Principal Ding, this semester’s most important task for our Mist City Arts and Science University is to focus on our first batch of graduates. We can concentrate on thesis defenses during March and April, and then let the students take graduation photos starting in May. Also, Principal Ding, this is the diploma sample customized by the Department of Education. If everything is in order, we will proceed with this template for our diplomas."

Director Qi Chunsheng reported a series of tasks to Principal Ding.

"Hmm, indeed, this first batch of graduates is critical, especially their internship placements and credit graduation rates. What are the current stats?"

Ding Yue nodded and then asked.

Setting aside the thesis defense, internship rates and credit passing rates are crucial for graduation rates.

"Principal Ding, the internship rate is already over eighty percent, and the credit passing rate is one hundred percent."

Director Qi Chunsheng replied.

The so-called internship rate refers to the proportion of students among the over nine thousand students who have secured internships. It’s not feasible for this to be one hundred percent since some students prefer to focus on preparing for postgraduate entrance exams instead.

Regarding the credit passing rate, it refers to the credits earned by students during their four years at Mist City Arts and Science University. Typically, universities have specific credit requirements that must be met for graduation. Failing to meet these would result in not receiving a diploma.

The students of Mist City Arts and Science University certainly did not disappoint Principal Ding; all of them passed their credits. As long as they pass their thesis defense, they can smoothly graduate.

Now, the diploma of Mist City Arts and Science University holds a significant value.

Indeed, in just four short years, Mist City Arts and Science University has transformed its diploma’s value from the least valued to top-tier through continuous achievements and a rising reputation.

It even carries more weight than diplomas from top national universities.

Beyond that, if a student graduates from the Mechanical or Computer Science departments of Mist City Arts and Science University, they could be comparable to graduates from the strongest faculties in national institutions.

Thus, whether it’s Penguin Group or Arlibaba Group, graduates from the Computer Science department of Mist City Arts and Science University are highly sought-after talents for them.

"Hmm, that’s good."

Ding Yue was quite satisfied with the data that Director Qi Chunsheng had mentioned, and then asked, "As for the graduation certificates, they adhere to a standardized format set by the Ministry of Education, so we can’t really make any adjustments, can we?"

"That is indeed the case, but Principal Ding, the graduation certificates need to bear your handwritten signature, which will then be printed on the certificates. What do you think..."

Director Qi Chunsheng brought up this matter.

Each school’s graduation certificate adheres to the standardized format set by the Ministry of Education, which is not a problem, but there is a part managed by the schools themselves. In addition to the school’s seal, another important aspect is the handwritten signature of the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University.

Of course, it’s not about asking Principal Ding to personally sign every certificate. If that were the case, signing a few thousand certificates might be manageable, but in the future, there will be tens of thousands or even more than a hundred thousand certificates. If every single one needed a signature, it would be utterly exhausting.

"Oh yes, that’s right, there’s also that matter. So I practice a signature, and then we print that signature on the certificates, right?"

Hearing this, Ding Yue nodded and asked Director Qi Chunsheng.

"Yes, Principal Ding, you just need to finalize this handwritten signature by May," replied Director Qi Chunsheng.

"Alright, I’ll start practicing soon, and I should come up with a nice signature for the students."

Ding Yue said with a smile.

"Then we’ll be troubling you, Principal Ding."

"It’s part of my duties as a principal. Also, regarding the arrangements for the thesis defenses, has the Academic Affairs Office begun working on this?" Ding Yue shrugged and brought up the thesis defense matter.

The thesis defense is one of the most important matters this semester at Mist City Arts and Science University, as it pertains to the situation of the first batch of graduates and the quality of the theses, which are to be uploaded to a thesis database. How many outstanding theses will Mist City Arts and Science University produce this year?

Ding Yue was looking forward to this.

Ding Yue believed that students from top departments such as Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering, Architecture, and Medicine at Mist City Arts and Science University were capable of producing top-notch theses, which could even be competitive on a global scale.

"Yes, the Academic Affairs Office, in collaboration with professors from various departments, will organize the thesis defenses in March and April,"

Director Qi Chunsheng answered.

"Good, after arranging the thesis defenses, prepare a schedule for me. If I have time, I will come and observe the thesis defenses of our students,"

Ding Yue said with a smile to Director Qi Chunsheng.

"Alright, Principal Ding, as soon as the Academic Affairs Office finalizes the schedule for the thesis defenses, I will bring it to you immediately,"

Director Qi Chunsheng nodded.

"Okay, Director Qi, with the thesis defense season approaching, the workload is quite substantial. Please take care of yourself. There are many people in the Academic Affairs Office, right?"

Ding Yue then reminded Director Qi Chunsheng.

After all, Director Qi Chunsheng had undergone surgery and was very dedicated to his work. It was crucial to be extra careful, as Ding Yue did not want to see any more health issues with him.

"Yes, I understand, Principal Ding. Thank you for your concern,"

Director Qi Chunsheng nodded.

Compared to a few years ago, Director Qi Chunsheng’s workload had indeed decreased significantly. He had delegated duties to the assistants in the Academic Affairs Office, and now his goal was to contribute to Mist City Arts and Science University for as many years as possible, as this institution had brought him many surprises.
