The GTIIT Choir
The GTIIT Choir was established at the end of March 2019. It is led by Professor Liao Wenlan from the Art Education Center at Shantou University. The choir made its debut at the Beijing National Grand Theater, the highest art venue in China. Since its establishment, the choir has performed in the Shantou University Choir Competition and the annual graduation ceremony of GT. They have also organized various "choir + flash mob" performances to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the Winter Olympics. The choir's fresh and dynamic beats are highly infectious and have received widespread praise from students and faculty across the campus.
Club Management Department
In the Club Management Department, you’ll work with teammates to support campus clubs—helping them thrive, reviewing activity plans to ensure successful events, and checking reimbursement forms to keep finances in order—while also actively participating in social practice by organizing clubs to engage in public welfare and industry research off-campus. You’ll gain organizational experience here and take pride in contributing to the campus club community.

The Debate Team of GTIIT is a young yet passionate group. In 2024, we made our debut in an offline competition and proudly brought home the runner-up prize. Here, you’ll meet students from different majors and year groups, and dive into thought-provoking topics.
