Welcome to the launching issue of New Dimensions!
As you open the first page of this magazine, you are
turning a new page of UIC's periodicals. The college's
history can be traced back to our former newspaper
First Step in Four as well as our staff newsletter UIC
Beacon. Now they have evolved into this
comprehensive magazine that continues to present you
with UIC's latest achievements in the areas of teaching,
learning, research, and the connection to society.
Indeed, the college is opening up a new dimension of
China's tertiary education.
On diversifying the country's tertiary education, we
will keep on doing our level best to fulfil our vision of a
liberal arts education based on a modicum of success
that we have achieved. This December, UIC is going to
host a conference of the esteemed Association for Yan
Huang Culture of China, which is to convene
distinguished Sinology scholars to Zhuhai for the first
time. On that occasion, probably we will be also
celebrating the establishment of an institute that aims
at promoting Chinese culture nationally and globally.
By this institute we want to let a creative series of
stories about China be heard around the world, in
addition to increasing the existing initiatives to
disseminate Chinese culture.
Also we plan to offer a Chinese style equestrianism
course. This is the final bit that will make the picture of
the traditional Six Arts education whole.
At a larger level, we are also exploring the
possibilities to host a global liberal arts education
forum next year. We have organised eight SinoAmerican Liberal Arts Forums in the past. I expect this
ultimate international forum will serve more professors
and professionals in terms of academic collaboration.
All of these efforts echo our determinations to
develop a new liberal arts education by tapping into
both classical Chinese and Western cultural traditions.
UIC has many stories to tell. If you keep an ear for it,
you will hear it out loud.
