The establishment of SZU Education Foundation for Civil Engineering:
At the venue of the 30th Anniversary of Shenzhen University and the Third General Meeting of the Civil Engineering Alumni Association, three well-known alumni, Xueqin Deng, Yibiao Li, and Xuechun Lin reached a consensus on how to thank the alma mater and give back to the college. They planned to initiate the establishment of the Education Foundation for Civil Engineering, Shenzhen University.
