3.Meliorism and Public Participation
Our university takes full range care of disadvantaged students. We launched the "Grant of Subsidizing Disadvantaged Students' Study Aid", disadvantaged students are relieved of a certain degree of financial pressure and can study with peace of mind. It also deepens the self-efficacy of disadvantaged students through learning diagnosis and evaluation and provides guidance to disadvantaged students. To strengthen and encourage disadvantaged students to learn internationally, realize their dreams, and achieve the ideal of social mobility. The four disadvantaged students, namely Zhou Peizhen (aboriginal), Chen Weiye (low-middle income), Lai Huiping (low income), and Yang Qianhui (low-middle income) studying in the Department of Fashion Design participated in the "2020 China Olympic Cup Beauty Salon Competition" performed well (Figure 3).
