The University of Michigan – Shanghai Jiao Tong University Joint Institute (UM-SJTU JI, JI hereafter) hosted a grand gala at Long Bin Building for the Class of 2024 undergraduate graduates, marking a beautiful end to their incredible journey at the joint institute.
From leaving their unique marks on the signature wall to awarding certificates to our dedicated faculty, the evening was a touching celebration of gratitude, growth, and new beginnings. The graduation party named “Starlight” symbolizes that every student is a brilliant star in the universe, ready to light up the world. As we bid farewell to the Class of 2024, we look forward to seeing them shine brightly on their new journeys.
