"When
one drinks water, one must not forget where it comes from". The 20th graduation anniversary of 1987-class
majoring in high voltage of Department of Electrical Engineering was held at
SJTU in this golden autumn. 45 out of the over sixty 87'-class alumni came back
to attend the ceremony, which outnumbered all the past gatherings. Those who
were absent for some reason also sent back their sincere wishes and greetings
by videos and calls.
To
express the gratitude to the teachers and the Alma Mater, class of 1987
majoring in high voltage donated 6 million yuan to set up the "humanity
development foundation by Class 41371/41372 of 1987 majoring in high
voltage". The foundation will be used to hold high-quality lectures in
humanities and social sciences as well as the construction and development of
quality-oriented education and general education.
