The past year 2023 marks the 65th anniversary of the founding of Ningxia University, and it is also an extraordinary year in the process of school reform and development. This year, all the people of Ningbo University were guided by the socialist thought with Chinese characteristics in the new era, guided by strengthening party building, and taking moral cultivation as the fundamental task, fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the 13th Party Congress of the Autonomous Region, closely following the two main lines of "three comprehensive education" and "double first-class" construction, focusing on the school governance system and governance capacity building, comprehensively promoting comprehensive reform in the fields of talent training, discipline construction, institutional mechanism, scientific research and innovation, and serving the local area, and achieved remarkable results.
Looking back on 2023, we have solidly promoted the theme education to be deeper and more practical, and carried out a series of activities for the 65th anniversary of the founding of the school in a diversified manner, so as to gain inexhaustible motivation for continuous progress in the process of hard work. Construct a "1+4+N" layout model, use the "5311" learning method, and hold "10 1s" activities, so as to empower the high-quality development of schools with high-quality theme education results. Focusing on the three major themes of academics, culture and alumni, reviewing the history of running the school, displaying the achievements of the school, and continuing the tradition of running the school, the official unveiling of "Ningxia University Fu" Le Shi, the successful premiere of the original epic stage play "The Root and Soul of the Shajube Tree", the National Alumni Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum gathered consensus, and the 2023 Autumn Academic Conference of the Chinese Physical Society gathered.

In 2023, the placement rate of first-time graduates reached 8772%, and was awarded the "Typical Demonstration University for Employment Work in the Region".
Looking back on 2023, we firmly grasp the breakthrough point of scientific and technological innovation and the key point of the faculty, gather high-level innovative talents, carry out high-level scientific research, explore a new paradigm of talent introduction and cultivation with regional characteristics, and cultivate a fertile soil for building nests and pursuing careers with peace of mind.

Looking back on 2023, we will continue to promote the reform of the system and mechanism, deepen the "5+N" school-local (enterprise) and school-school cooperation pattern, focus on the overall development, and promote development based on services. 9 faculties and 8 colleges were established to form a new structure system of "one body and two wings" with the college as the center and the faculties and colleges as the two wings. Steadily promote the reform of the performance distribution mechanism, comprehensively carry out the "three determinations" in the party and mass administrative departments, teaching and teaching and auxiliary units, focus on the development of the college, and carry out the "four determinations" of the college's majors, disciplines, degree points and scientific research platforms.

To meet the major needs of enterprises, we will set up a new innovation platform for school-enterprise joint innovation bodies, focus on the research on the resources and ecological security of the Yellow River, and continuously enhance the contribution of the university to serve the national strategy and regional economic and social development.
In 2023, every harvest is full of hard work and sweat, and it also engraves the footprints of all Ningda people's struggles. Entering 2024, the journey under our feet is still a sea of stars.
