女士們,先生們,尊敬的各位教職工,特別是清華大學(xué)公共管理學(xué)院的優(yōu)秀畢業(yè)生們,
作為一名公共政策專業(yè)的畢業(yè)生,在各位即將翻開人生下一個篇章之時,能夠站在你們面前,我感到無比榮幸。
今天,我們不僅要祝賀你們的學(xué)術(shù)成就,還要慶祝你們對促進(jìn)社會進(jìn)步和全球發(fā)展的承諾。在清華大學(xué)獲得的知識和技能,將成為引領(lǐng)你們走向變革未來的指南針。
清華大學(xué)是一個卓越之地,是知識和創(chuàng)新的燈塔。這所著名學(xué)府培養(yǎng)了無數(shù)的學(xué)者,包括為社會做出杰出貢獻(xiàn)的校友,其中甚至還有中國的國家主席習(xí)近平。
如今,你們作為這一深厚傳承的一員,已具備塑造一個更美好世界的工具和專業(yè)知識。
作為公共管理學(xué)院的畢業(yè)生,你們在推動積極變革方面獨(dú)具優(yōu)勢。你們的研究領(lǐng)域與中國和國際社會的福祉息息相關(guān)。身處如今這個相互聯(lián)系的世界,我們所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)已然超越國界。因此,我們必須共同努力,促進(jìn)社會進(jìn)步和全球發(fā)展。
促進(jìn)社會進(jìn)步需要解決貧困、不平等、醫(yī)療、教育和環(huán)境可持續(xù)性等問題。這些并非單純的流行詞,而是一個公正和公平社會的基石。作為未來的領(lǐng)袖和政策制定者,你們有責(zé)任帶領(lǐng)社會進(jìn)步事業(yè),制定包容性的政策和規(guī)劃以提振最脆弱的群體。
此外,全球發(fā)展需要集體努力來解決世界面臨的復(fù)雜挑戰(zhàn)。這就是多邊主義理念不可或缺的原因。
多邊主義承認(rèn)沒有一個國家可以單獨(dú)解決全球性的問題。它強(qiáng)調(diào)國家間的協(xié)作、合作和對話。在一個常??此品直离x析的世界,我們必須銘記團(tuán)結(jié)的巨大力量。聯(lián)合國是多邊主義的象征,它將各國聚集一處,為和平、人權(quán)和可持續(xù)發(fā)展等共同目標(biāo)而努力。
作為清華大學(xué)的畢業(yè)生,你們有優(yōu)勢也有責(zé)任成為多邊主義的傳播者。擁抱多樣性,尋求共同點(diǎn),并促進(jìn)不同文化和國家之間的理解。你們投身于合作和協(xié)作對解決當(dāng)下緊迫的挑戰(zhàn)至關(guān)重要,無論是氣候變化、全球健康危機(jī),還是經(jīng)濟(jì)不平等。
請銘記,實(shí)現(xiàn)社會進(jìn)步和全球發(fā)展道阻且長。你們將面臨挫折,有時也可能會認(rèn)為自己的努力無足輕重。
但請不要?dú)怵H。這些逆境能夠考驗(yàn)?zāi)銈兊臎Q心和毅力。請擁抱這些挑戰(zhàn),將其當(dāng)作成長和學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會。永遠(yuǎn)不要忘記你們作為個體所擁有的改變現(xiàn)狀的力量,以及通過集體力量塑造歷史進(jìn)程的能力。
今天離開清華大學(xué)之時,你們不僅將收獲一個學(xué)位,還會帶著一份重任。請在誠信、同情和致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)更廣大利益的價值觀的指引下,明智地使用自己所獲得的知識。
請記住,衡量真正的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)并非僅有個人成就,還有你們?yōu)樗松顜淼姆e極影響。
祝賀你們,清華大學(xué)公共管理學(xué)院的畢業(yè)生!
請以堅定不移的決心和對社會進(jìn)步、全球發(fā)展和多邊主義力量的堅定信念迎接未來的挑戰(zhàn)。
世界期待著你們的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。出發(fā)吧,讓世界變得更好。
衷心祝愿你們擁有充滿著目標(biāo)和成就感的未來。
UN RESIDENT COORDINATOR IN CHINA
2023 THU School of Public Policy and Management Commencement
Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished faculty members, and most importantly, the exceptional graduates of the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University,
As a former graduate in Public Policy myself, it is an immense honor to stand before you today as you embark on the next chapter of your lives.
Today, we celebrate not only your academic achievements but also your commitment to promoting social progress and global development. The knowledge and skills you have gained here at Tsinghua University will serve as a compass guiding you towards a future of transformative change.
Tsinghua University personifies a center of excellence, a beacon of knowledge and innovation. This prestigious institution has nurtured countless scholars, including illustrious alumni who have made remarkable contributions to society, even including President Xi Jinping of China.
You are now part of this rich legacy, equipped with the tools and expertise to shape a better world.
As graduates of the School of Public Policy and Management, you are uniquely positioned to drive positive change. Your field of study is inherently linked to the well-being of societies, both locally and globally. In today's interconnected world, the challenges we face transcend borders. It is therefore imperative that we work together to promote social progress and global development.
Promoting social progress entails addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, healthcare, education, and environmental sustainability. These are not mere buzzwords; they represent the fundamental building blocks of a just and equitable society. As future leaders and policymakers, it is your responsibility to champion the cause of social progress, to create inclusive policies and programs that uplift the most vulnerable among us.
Furthermore, global development necessitates a collective effort to address the complex challenges facing our planet. This is where the concept of multilateralism becomes indispensable.
Multilateralism recognizes that no single nation can solve global problems alone. It emphasizes collaboration, cooperation, and dialogue among nations. In a world that often seems divided, we must remember the immense power of unity. The United Nations stands as a symbol of multilateralism, bringing nations together to work towards common goals such as peace, human rights, and sustainable development.
You, the graduates of Tsinghua University, have the privilege and the duty to become ambassadors of multilateralism. Embrace diversity, seek common ground, and foster understanding among different cultures and nations. Your commitment to cooperation and collaboration will be vital in addressing the pressing challenges of our time, be it climate change, global health crises, or economic disparities.
Remember, the path to social progress and global development will not be without obstacles. You will face setbacks, and at times, it may seem that your efforts are insignificant.
But do not be discouraged. It is precisely during these moments of adversity that your determination and resilience will be put to the test. Embrace these challenges as opportunities for growth and learning. Never forget the power you hold as individuals to make a difference, and as a collective force, to shape the course of history.
Today, as you leave the gates of Tsinghua University, you carry with you not only a degree but also a profound responsibility. Use the knowledge you have acquired wisely, guided by the values of integrity, compassion, and a commitment to the greater good.
Remember that true leadership is not measured by personal achievements alone, but by the positive impact you create in the lives of others.
Congratulations, graduates of the School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University!
Embrace the challenges that lie ahead with unwavering determination and an unwavering belief in the power of social progress, global development, and multilateralism.
The world awaits your leadership. Go forth and make it a better place.
My very best wishes for a future filled with purpose and fulfillment.
