Welcoming speech from Prof. Yao Yang, Dean of NSD:

"NSD is a comprehensive institute spanning pedagogy, research and think-tank, and is a beacon of the PKU spirit in our age. The MBA students are important members of the NSD family and will study alongside students of our various programs such as undergraduate, graduate and PhD, double degree, EMBA, as well as the Institute of South-South Cooperation and Development. NSD truly fuses the political, business and academic circles, and the experiences brought along by our students and alumni help improve our teaching qualities, and vice versa. At NSD, you'll meet the best teachers and outstanding classmates. You’ll also interact with our alumni who are known for their achievements and maintain close ties with us. The NSD prides itself on cultivating the gumption and focus of our students and guiding them to push the boundaries. Side by side with the most outstanding people, your learning experience becomes enjoyment and joy. I invite you to make history and open a beautiful new chapter of life."
