On September 14, CUEB Party Committee Security Department and the Security Office conducted safety education for incoming students, in collaboration with the Anti-Fraud Center of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau of Fengtai Branch, the Anti-Terrorism Brigade of Anti-Special Patrol Detachment of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau of Fengtai Branch, and Fengtai Sub-branch of Agricultural Bank of China Beijing Branch. Meng Bo, CUEB Deputy Party Secretary, delivered a welcoming speech.

Meng Bo pointed out that CUEB attaches great importance to students’ safety because safety lays the foundation for making progress. In partnership with the local administration and social organizations, CUEB organized a safety education week event for new students and invited professionals to teach safety knowledge and emergency self-help skills to promote students’ awareness of safety issues and teach them self-help techniques. Meng hoped that students could cherish learning opportunities, actively participate in training activities, and acquire safety knowledge and protection skills to protect their own safety and the safety of others. In the end, he expressed sincere wishes to students.

Following that, the characteristics of telecommunication network fraud and financial fraud were taught, respectively by Hai Xingyu, Officer from the Anti-Fraud Center of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau of Fengtai Branch, and Wang Yunke, the head of the Wannian huacheng Sub-branch of Agricultural Bank of China Beijing Branch. They conducted an in-depth analysis of fraudsters’ scamming tactics through case studies and interactive quizzes, ensuring that students firmly remember anti-fraud warnings. In addition, Dong Zhili, Police Chief from the Anti-Terrorism Brigade of Anti-Special Patrol Detachment of Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau of Fengtai Branch, explained Counter-Terrorism Law for students. He taught students how to spot terrorist and violent actions and how to protect themselves when encountering such incidents by showing them recordings. At last, Wang Xin, a teacher from CUEB Security Department, introduced the characteristics of the security environment around the school and precautions to protect personal and property safety. He also explained the basic safety information in their daily campus life. The students responded positively, indicating that they learned a lot from the education.

Freshman safety education has long been a top priority for CUEB Party Committee Security Department and the Security Office as part of the school’s overall safety education work. Since the beginning of the fall semester, they have initiated “Safety Awareness Cultivation Action” and invited experts from inside or outside the school to give safety lectures to “Raise Students’ Safety Awareness and Improve Self-help Techniques”, with the support of Publicity Department, Students Affairs Department, Network Information Center, the School of Law, the School of Management and Engineering, and other departments. More than 5,600 new comers received safety training, legal training, and emergency skills through these programs. Students gained knowledge about various safety topics, including national security, personal safety, property safety, fire safety, traffic safety, laboratory safety, campus security, anti-terrorism and riot, anti-drugs and HIV prevention, anti-fraud and counter-pyramid selling, and prevention of heretical cults. They also learned how to use fire extinguishers, make a fire escape, and do CPR though hands-on exercises. CUEB works to help students raise safety awareness as early as possible, and acquire  necessary safety knowledge and emergency self-help skills, so as to build a safe foundation for their future life.
