On behalf of JNU, Lin briefed the delegation in detail on the university's major work in carrying out democratic management and democratic supervision. Li reported on its achievements in scientific research, provincial-level teaching competitions, construction of provincial-level model workers studio, construction of provincial-level exemplary party branches, and other matters. 

Liu Tao, party secretary of School of Journalism and Communication, gave an overview of the school's achievements in areas including Party-building, discipline construction, teaching and research, talent cultivation, grassroots democracy construction, trade union and social services. Chen Ping, president of JNU’s Academy of Cultural Heritage and Creativity, spoke on Learning to Utilize Classics: National Comics Exhibition of Chinese Excellent Classic Story. The exhibition runs through June at the Sihai Art Space. 

Tan, who is also secretary of the federation's secretariat and a member of its party leadership group, proposed that the university continue to improve its democratic management and democratic supervision system based on the basic form of teacher's congress to effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of faculty and staff members. He also proposed to further increase investment in the construction of the model workers studio, benchmarking it against the national-level model workers studio, to enhance team cohesion and team members' sense of responsibility and mission, and to expand industry-university-research collaboration. Tan also suggested that JNU strengthen its cultivation of international talents and construction of international platforms, making new and greater contributions to telling China's story to the world.
