"SYSU Doctoral forest ” tree-planting activity integrates the idea of carrying on the fine traditions of SYSU with the sense of environmental protection into practice - planting trees every year, which allows the doctoral students to learn more about the university’s tradition. Moreover, the activity helps promote communications in and around the university and further enhance the sense of social responsibility as well as environmental protection. In November of this year, part of the competition events will be held at Guangzhou Higher Education Mega. Thus, this tree-planting activity will contribute a sheet of new green around the Asian Games Stadiums.
