The changing world belongs to you

On June 29-30，the 2019 commencement ceremonies for undergraduate and postgraduate students were held in the Stadium of Zijingang Campus. More than 10,000 people — including the soon-to-be graduates, their friends and family, and faculty and staff of the University — celebrated together for the class of 2019.

At this bittersweet time, some of the international students shared their most memorable moments in ZJU and their future plan with us.

“I will always look back on my time at Zhejiang University with fond memories and remember all the valuable lessons I learned and all the amazing and friendly people I met.

I hope to use all that I have learned at Zhejiang University to serve me well, so that I may serve others well on my journey to come.”
