七秩沧桑，砥砺文脉，书香翰墨，时代风华。2019年12月，上海外国语大学将迎来建校70华诞，应海内外广大校友与全体师生员工倡议，届时上海外国语大学将举行系列庆祝活动。

七十载筚路蓝缕，矢志创新。创建于1949年12月的上海外国语大学，是新中国成立后由国家创办的第一所高等外语学府，是教育部直属并与上海市共建、进入国家“211工程”和“双一流”建设的全国重点大学。从建校初期单一语种的华东人民革命大学附设上海俄文学校到上世纪50年代中期迅速发展为多语种的上海外国语学院；从外语单科性的上海外国语学院，到改革开放后率先建设以外国语言文学学科为重，文、教、经、管、法等学科协调发展的多科性的上海外国语大学；从建设“高水平国际化多科性外国语大学”到建成“国别区域全球知识领域特色鲜明的世界一流外国语大学”，每一次更迭都体现着上外人自我革新、勇于探索的追求。

七十载岁月峥嵘，初心不改。从首任党委书记、校长姜椿芳提出“为人民的生活幸福服务，为国家建设服务”的建校目标，到改革开放初期上外在全国率先实施“培养国家四化建设需要的外语复合型人才”战略，再到如今以“服务国家发展、服务人的全面成长、服务社会进步、服务中外人文交流”为新时代的办学使命，与新中国同呼吸、共命运的上海外国语大学，始终以培养担当民族复兴大任的时代新人为目标，以服从和服务于国家经济和社会发展需要为己任。

七十载博学经世，桃李芬芳。方重、陆佩弦、岳扬烈、夏仲毅、徐仲年、王德春、李观仪、杨小石等众多名家大师荟萃于此，执教治学，开创并丰富着上外的人文传统；数万才华横溢、出类拔萃的毕业生活跃在国家对外开放的最前沿，足迹遍布全球，为我国的外交外事、国际传播、经济建设、文化繁荣和社会发展，为促进中外人文交流做出了贡献。新时代的上外秉承“诠释世界，成就未来”的办学理念，致力于培养更多“会语言、通国家、精领域”的“多语种+”卓越国际化人才。

历沧桑七十载，期继往而开来。70周年校庆是上海外国语大学发展史上的一个重要里程牌，是全体上外人汇聚光荣与梦想的盛事之典，更是凝聚发展力量、深化综合改革、推进“双一流”建设、谱写新时代篇章的崭新起点。

值此70周年校庆全面启动之际，谨向关心、爱护、支持上海外国语大学发展的各界贤达人士和海内外校友致敬，上外师生员工热忱期盼各界嘉宾莅临指导，畅叙情谊，共襄盛典！

特此公告，敬祈周知。

SISU Prepares to Celebrate Its 70th Anniversary

(Notice No. 1)

In December 2019, Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) shall celebrate its 70th Anniversary with a series of special events designed in response to requests and proposals from SISU alumni across the world and all SISU faculty and staff.

Established in December 1949, shortly after the founding of the People’s Republic of China(PRC), as the first foreign language institution of higher learning in the PRC,SISU is now a leading Chinese university under the joint administration of China’s Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Shanghai Municipal Government. SISU has also been endorsed by China’s national “Project 211” and “Double First-rate Program” for university administration.

Through seven decades of its commitment and endeavours, SISU has developed a remarkable track record of progressive reforms from its beginning as a single language teaching institution to Shanghai Foreign Languages Institute offering multi-language programs in the mid-1950s, then to a multi-disciplinary university offering, in addition to programs of foreign languages and literatures, a diverse mix of academic disciplines including literature, education, economics, management sciences, and law in the late 1970s when China launched its reform and opening-up policy, and finally to the currentworld-class international studies university with a distinctive global vision.

Since its establishment, SISU has stayed true to its commitments to“serving the Chinese people’s wellbeing and China’s national development,” as proposed by its first president Jiang Chunfang; to “producing multi-disciplinary professionals specialized in foreign language studies needed for China’s modernization development,” as defined in the outset of China’s reform and opening-up policy; and to “serving China’s national development,social advancement, and cultural and humanistic exchange between China and other countries.”

SISU has featured an outstanding team of prestigious faculty members, including FangZhong, Lu Peixian, Yue Yanglie, Xia Zhongyi, Xu Zhongnian, Wang Dechun, Li Guanyi, and Yang Xiaoshi, who all played remarkable roles in the creation and enrichment of SISU’s academic tradition and cultural legacy, and in the training of tens of thousands of highly talented SISUgraduates working at the forefronts of China’s opening-up to the rest of the world. SISU graduates have equally made spectacular contribution in China’s foreign affairs, international communication and economic, cultural and social development. With a focus on its mission to “Interpret the World, Translate the Future”,SISU has been and will continue to be devoted to producing excellent multi-disciplinary, international talents proficient in different languages and knowledgeable about various countries.

As a key milestone in the history of SISU, the 70th anniversary of the founding of SISU is a grand event to celebrate the glory developed by all SISUers over the decades and refresh its aspirations for the future, as well as the starting point of a new era marked by further comprehensive reforms toward a better university of prestige.

SISU greatly appreciates all those, including the alumni across the world, who have contributed to the university’s development, and invites your presence at the celebration.
