Re: Congratulations

Dear Professor FAN,

It is a great pleasure to hear the news that you become the president of

Huangzhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). On behalf of the

HUST Alumni Association in North America (HUAAN) and our alumni, I warmly

congratulate you!

HUST went through great changes in the past year under Professor ZHOU Ji's

leadership, merging with Tongji Medical University and Wuhan Urban

Construction Institute. This move brought in HUST the much needed medical

sciences and enhanced many existing programs in architecture, and positioned

HUST on solid ground for future developments. The challenge now is how to

integrate medical science programs and engineering programs. Neuroscience

has long been considered pivotal in the development of science in the new

millennium. Among other things, I highly recommend you and HUST establish

a computational neuroscience program and strengthen other existing

interdisciplinary programs, to utilize HUST's strength in both engineering

and biomedical sciences.

As an alumni association, we serve as a bridge between alumni and the alma

matar. We wish this link will be strengthened under President Fan's term

and would like to hear more exciting news from HUST.

With President Fan's talent, experiences and wisdom, we have every reason to

believe that HUST will prosper under your leadership. We wish HUST a bright

future.

Best regards to you, your family, and faculty and students in HUST!

Yidao Cai
