As the Year of the Horse approaches, Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT) hosted a campus open day on February 8th for students and their families from across the nation. The event attracted over 40,000 participants both online and offline.

The auditorium was packed to capacity, with a continuous stream of visitors creating such high demand for seats that temporary chairs had to be added. Students and parents listened attentively to the introduction of the university's development and educational features.

"To date, 82 students have received a total of 167 admission letters from 55 institutions worldwide. Among the students, 17% admitted to top 10 global universities, 48% admitted to top 20 global universities, 60% admitted to top 30 global universities. What is particularly impressive is that students of this graduating class have already received five direct Ph.D. admission offers from top-tier global universities," shared GTIIT Pro-Vice Chancellor Lin Danming, unveiling the latest achievements of the Class of 2026.

"If you dare to dream, GTIIT will always have a path to help you realize it!" said Zhang Liwen, a Cohort 2022 student from Biotechnology and Food Engineering Program. He shared his university life through diverse activities—joining a research group in his freshman year, participating in Student Association, competing in singing contests, and serving as a peer mentor—continuously unlocking multifaceted growth opportunities at GTIIT.

From Maya civilization to modern mathematics, from mechanical secrets of artificial hearts to the future in climate technology, and from seeing Newton's laws come alive in sports and daily routines—a series of engaging English classes allowed students to interact face-to-face with scientists. They immersed themselves in exploring the wonders and frontiers of science and technology, glimpsing more possibilities of university learning.

The consultation area was crowded with visitors as faculty representatives from seven programs and admissions officers provided comprehensive one-on-one guidance. They meticulously explained each program's strengths, training approaches, development pathways, and curriculum structures, patiently addressing every inquiry and concern.

Stepping into the "birthplace" of research projects, several state-of-the-art laboratories ignited students' curiosity for scientific exploration. Guided by lab instructors, visitors gained in-depth knowledge of the facilities and equipment, experiencing the charm of science firsthand.

Modern teaching buildings, vibrant sports facilities, comfortable student dormitories—the well-equipped campus infrastructure and high-quality living environment earned high praise from visiting parents and students.

A parent from Hebei Province mentioned that their child was particularly interested in Sino-foreign cooperative universities and was curious about GTIIT's education approach. "It is impressive. The university emphasizes self-exploration and development for students, which is exactly what we parents value."

"The university is very advanced, and the environment is excellent!" said a senior high school student from Shantou. Visiting GTIIT for the first time, she admitted she hadn't yet formed clear plans for university, but through this open day, she gained more thought and anticipation for the future.
