In order to celebrate the 44th anniversary of the founding of the school, gather the feelings of alumni, inherit the spirit of the alma mater, and publicize the achievements of the alumni, the School of Art and Design held an alumni back-to-school day and alumni sharing meeting with the theme of New Journey·New Encounter around October 29 A series of activities, such as Shanghai University of Engineering Science Design Week, Yunyou Garden, Alumni Sharing Session and other online activities, have been carried out to jointly promote the development of the alma mater.

Due to the impact of the epidemic, on this year's Alumni Back to School Day, art design alumni from all over the world and from all walks of life could not return to their alma mater. The Yunyou Garden on October 29 allowed them to express their thoughts and wishes to their dear alma mater through the Internet. Gathering in the cloud also brings us warmth and touch. Please remember that no matter when and where, your alma mater is your eternal spiritual home! I hope that you will continue to care about and support the development and construction of the school, and witness a better tomorrow for the School of Art and Design together!
