“Never need to remember, because we never forget.” From 1982 to 1992, a decade of pioneering
efforts in the department of management engineering built a firm basis for the school; from 1992 to
2007, the 15 years of development brought the school new brilliance. Looking back to the 25-year
history, we will never forget our pioneers and their contributions to the school. The professors,such
as Ye Chunsheng, Zeng Wenzhong, Li Yijing, Luo Rong, Guan Qixue, Lang Baoshan, Wang Jianqin,
Chen Xun, Jiang Lanbiao, Liao Mingxun, Huang Haichao, Zhu Huiqiang, Fan Zhongzhi, Zhou Yuxin,
Lin Jingjun and Xu Tongbang are among the prestigious founders. Now, we are happy to see that
the flame has been passed from the old professors to the young and middle-aged faculty members
who are making more contributions to the school instruction and research work to keep the school
booming and graduates outstanding.
