At 14:00 on the afternoon of August 2, 2025, the alumni of the 2005 grade Communication Engineering major of the school held a reunion to celebrate the 20th anniversary of graduation in the No.1 Conference Room of the Academic Conference Center at the Tunxilu Campus. After 20 years of separation, the alumni returned to their alma mater to recall the green years and talk about the friendship between teachers and students.

Nian Yongqi, Secretary of the Party Committee of the school, made a special trip to the scene and extended a warm welcome and cordial condolences to the alumni from afar on behalf of the school. In the meeting room, Secretary Nian sat and communicated with the alumni, introduced in detail the breakthroughs made by the school in the construction of disciplines such as communication engineering and electronic information in recent years, as well as the remarkable achievements in the expansion of the teaching staff, the innovation of training modes, the upgrading of scientific research platforms and other aspects, and expounded the future development blueprint of the school. He emphasized that alumni are the shapers of the school's reputation and the boosters of its development, and expected all alumni to give back to their alma mater in various forms and provide support for the school's discipline construction and talent training.

In the exchange, the alumni recalled their school days in the university with deep feeling and thanked the school for its careful cultivation in those years. Combining with their own experience, they shared their growth experience and achievements in the fields of communication technology R&D, industry enterprise management, university scientific research and tackling key problems after graduation. They all said that the school motto of the alma mater "Virtue, Diligence, Pragmatism, Innovation" has always been the spiritual driving force for moving forward, and they are very proud to be students of Hefei University of Technology.

After the reunion, the school prepared a university-exclusive canvas bag for the alumni as a souvenir, printed with the university name and school badge, carrying the alma mater's care and blessings for the students. The alumni presented a calligraphy work Hard Work Pays Off to the school, which was received by Secretary Nian on behalf of the school. The work not only expresses the profound and lasting friendship between teachers and students for 20 years, but also places the alumni's good wishes for the future development of the school.

This reunion has not only built a platform for alumni to reunite and communicate, but also strengthened the emotional connection between the school and alumni, laying a solid foundation for the coordinated development of both sides in industry-university-research cooperation and talent delivery in the future. The struggle stories of alumni will also inspire students on campus to take outstanding seniors as examples and strive to grow into backbones of the industry.

The school has always adhered to the purpose and goal of "connecting alumni, serving alumni and achieving alumni", and will take this reunion as an opportunity to continuously optimize the alumni work mechanism, build more normalized communication platforms, gather alumni strength, help the school achieve higher-quality development in the new era, and cultivate more high-quality talents for the development of the national electronic information and communication industry.
