       Before the beginning of the first online lesson, teacher Zeng Na from the Office of International Exchange held a student mobilization meeting in Classroom 114, Building #2 on October 19, 2021. At the meeting, Professor Luis Seco, Dean of the College of Mathematical Financial Engineering of the University of Toronto, gave an online introduction to the schedule of the blockchain course program. A senior student who took part in the program last year was also invited to share her learning experiences with students. It is the hope of the school that students will seize this precious opportunity of exchange with the University of Toronto, and maintain a positive learning attitude throughout this program.
