Student Associations Empowering Ethnic Colleges to Fostering a Strong Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation
Fostering a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation is the mainline of the Party's ethnic work and works of ethnics regions in the new era.Ethnic colleges serve as the vanguard and advantageous field for educating and forging strong sense of community for the Chinese nation,which can facilitate profound interaction and integration among students and teachers in spatial,cultural,psychological,and emotional aspects.Student associations serve as important channels for schools to fulfill their fundamental mission of fostering virtue and nurturing talents.They are key channels for promoting students'socialization and citizenship,as well as dynamic venues for creating campus culture and constructing a spiritual home shared by the Chinese nation.Student associations in ethnic colleges play an irreplaceable and unique role in permeating the shared spiritual home of the Chinese nation,consolidating the"four confidences,"enhancing the"five identities,"and helping young students to address the challenges of the times and society in terms of thinking,emotions,and practices.At present,student associations in ethnic universities still face many challenges in the guidance of party building,focusing on the main line,theoretical construction,organizational management and other aspects.Ethnic colleges should firmly grasp the"time"and"momentum"of solidifying the sense of community for the Chinese nation,fully leveraging the role of student associations being links,platforms,and conduits.They should focus on the mainline,coordinate efforts to strengthen top-level design and project guidance,improve organizational management and supervision,promote resource integration and practical innovation,and achieve the goal of mutual promotion between the first classroom(traditional courses)and the second classroom(courses on quality education),complementary effects between schools and society,and synergy between explicit and implicit education.It can thus truly unleash the effectiveness of student associations,guiding students to become conscious supporters,active defenders,enthusiastic promoters,and dedicated practitioners of the Chinese national community.
