In the afternoon, Professor Li Tianxing conducted a training session for faculty members of the School of Business, focusing on two critical aspects of AACSB accreditation: quality assurance systems and faculty qualifications. Systematically elucidating the accreditation standards' requirements and operational precautions, Professor Li assisted faculty members in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the relevant standards, identifying existing challenges, and outlining directions for improvement.

The training session covered the learning assurance system and faculty qualification classification, providing detailed insights into the accreditation standards' requirements and operational considerations. This facilitated a nuanced understanding among faculty members, enabling them to recognize existing challenges and define clear directions for improvement.

On the morning of December 7th, Professor Li Tianxing engaged in in-depth discussions with key personnel and participants from the School of Business, focusing on specific issues and weaknesses identified in the preliminary self-assessment report. Practical suggestions for improvement were provided, with discussions centered around strategic planning, faculty qualifications, teaching processes, and social impact. These discussions significantly contributed to the preparation of the School's AACSB progress report.

The AACSB accreditation exchange meeting has further fortified the faculty's comprehension of AACSB international certification, laying a robust foundation for the progression of AACSB certification at our institution. Through this exchange, the faculty's understanding of AACSB international accreditation has been deepened, establishing a solid groundwork for the upcoming stages of the college's AACSB accreditation promotion efforts.
