On September 23, 2019, a delegation of TEI members, including International President Katrina Welch, enjoyed a day of information sharing and professional development at the prestigious Shanghai University of Finance and Economics (SUFE). Established in 1917, SUFE is consistently ranked as the top business school in China and enjoys a leading position among Chinese universities providing business taxation degree programs. TEI’s visit to SUFE was organized by TEI’s newest employee and SUFE alumnus, Tommy Wu, and members of TEI’s Asia Chapter.
2019年9月23日，由TEI全球总裁Katrina Welch女士带领的一众TEI代表来到著名上海财经大学（上海财大）进行了信息分享和业务拓展。上海财经大学成立于1917年，是中国排名第一的商学院且提供领先于众多中国大学的税务专业课程。TEI此次拜访上海财大由TEI最新的正式员工、TEI亚洲分会会员，上海财大校友吴东明先生促成。
At the event, TEI members were honored to meet and interact with Professor Xiaobing Liu, dean of SUFE’s College of Public Administration and China National People’s Congress deputy, Professor Weiqun Zhu, SUFE’s department head of Taxation Major, and seventy SUFE tax degree candidates. TEI and SUFE marked the occasion by entering into a strategic cooperation framework agreement, providing for collaboration on tax training, tax studies, and future sharing programs, as well as development of a platform of communication and cooperation for members of TEI, tutors, students at SUFE, and others in tax practice. After the signing ceremony, Katrina and Tommy presented a keynote address on their respective educational and career paths and introduced students to TEI and the benefits offered through TEI’s new student membership category.
拜访期间，TEI一行有幸与中国全国人大代表、上海财大公共管理学院院长刘小兵教授，上海财大公共管理学院税务系主任、博士生导师、朱为群教授会晤，并与近70位税务专业同学进行了互动。借此机会，TEI与上海财大共同签署了一份合作框架协议，根据该框架协议，TEI将为SUFE的老师和学生提供国际税务实践的信息，为学生提供专业职场分析和分享；SUFE会给TEI中国会员的发展、学术研究、课题项目提供帮助；双方还约定将会合作举办税务培训和税务研究，为TEI会员和SUFE的老师学生，以及社会各界税务专业人事，提供交流合作的平台。随后，Katrina和吴东明给学生做了职业生涯、职业规划等内容的主题演讲并对TEI以及最新的TEI学生会员进行了介绍。
The event proved rewarding for everyone involved and resulted in numerous applications for TEI student membership. Well done, Asia Chapter!
