Deputy General Educational Inspector of Zhejiang Education Department visits UNNC

31 August: Shu Peidong, Deputy General Educational Inspector of Zhejiang Education Department (ZED), visited the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) to inspect the campus opening work for the autumn term.

UNNC Provost, Professor Nick Miles met and greeted Shu in the Peter Mansfield Building, and briefly introduced the opening preparation work of the University. 

During his visit, Shu inspected the University’s Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Research Centre. After listening carefully to the basics of the Centre presented by Dr Chengbo Wang, Director of the MRI research centre, Shu inquired about the development of the cutting-edge cryogen-free MRI technologies. 

As the “Teachers’ Day” is approaching, Shu also hoped to send his greetings and express his best wishes to UNNC academics. He presented a bouquet of flowers to a staff representative, Dr Bo Li, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering, and learned about his teaching and his research progress. 

Later, Shu visited the new library of UNNC. He was impressed by its capacity, the strong academic atmosphere and the various additional spaces available for student creativity in the library. “This approach to architecture is the kind that is well admired by students and teachers alike." 

While inspecting the living area, Shu spoke highly of the efforts made by the University to improve students’ campus experience. He commented that it is vital to implement effective pandemic prevention and control methods, and further emphasised that the security of students and staff is always the top priority.
