Reporters from The Paper learned from the official website of Sichuan University of Science and Engineering that recently, the Ministry of Education sent a letter to the People’s Government of Sichuan Province, approving the official renaming of Sichuan University of Science and Engineering to Sichuan University of Light Industry and Chemical Technology. The university stated, “This marks the official establishment of our school as Sichuan University of Light Industry and Chemical Technology, ushering in a new chapter in its development and growth.” ” The university stated that, under its new name of Sichuan University of Light Industry and Chemical Technology, it will further \"liberate its thinking, be brave in innovation, take on responsibilities, and strive for excellence.\" It will accelerate the shift toward sustainable development focused on improving quality, continue to use the establishment of specialized industry-related colleges as a starting point, and rely on close integration between the university and local communities as well as between the university and enterprises to promote the shared use of high-quality resources. In this way, the university will make comprehensive progress in areas such as talent cultivation, scientific research, social services, and cultural inheritance and innovation. It will keep working hard to push the university’s various endeavors to new heights.
According to the university’s official website, it is an undergraduate institution that was relocated as part of the \"Third Front Construction\" initiative. In 1965, in response to the directives of the leadership and Premier Zhou Enlai, some confidential-related programs from the former East China Institute of Chemical Engineering (now East China University of Science and Technology) were moved to Zigong, Sichuan, to establish a branch there. In 1979, it was renamed Sichuan Institute of Chemical Engineering; in 1983, it was renamed Sichuan Light Chemical Industry Institute. In 2003, four institutions merged to form Sichuan University of Science and Engineering. In June 2018, the Ministry of Education announced that its name would be changed to Sichuan University of Light Chemical Technology. Sichuan University of Science and Engineering is a full-time regular higher education institution with over 50 years of experience in offering undergraduate programs and nearly 20 years of experience in providing graduate education. It features coordinated development in nine disciplines, including engineering, science, management, education, literature, history, art, law, and economics. The school has two campuses, located in two **historically and culturally significant cities in Sichuan Province. One is Zigong, known as the \"City of Lamps, Home of Dinosaurs, and Millennium Salt Capital,\" while the other is Yibin, renowned as the \"City of Wine and the First City along the Yangtze River.\" Just on the morning of December 9 this year, prior to the announcement of the news, leaders such as Zhu Shihong, Secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Department of Education, and Member of the Party Leadership Group; Liu Liyun, Deputy Secretary of the Education Working Committee of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee and Member of the Party Leadership Group; Dai Zuoan, Member of the Education Working Committee of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, Deputy Director of the Department of Education, and Member of the Party Leadership Group; and Yang Yapei, Second-level Inspector of the Department of Education and Head of the Higher Education Division, visited the university’s Yibin campus for an inspection and investigation. According to the university’s official website, Zhu Shihong, Director of the Sichuan Provincial Department of Education, said that \"Yibin takes advantage of its location as the first city along the Yangtze River and the starting point of the Southern Silk Road. It has adopted a strategic approach of focusing on one main axis while developing multiple branches in order to become a strong education city. It is entirely correct to prioritize the development of science and education in this region. The department will continue to support the construction of universities in Yibin, such as the Yibin campus of Sichuan University of Light Industry and Chemical Technology. It will also provide more proactive policy support to meet the educational needs of Yibin, and holds high hopes for the development of the city’s education sector as well as that of these universities.\" ”
