Online Edition
EIGHT female consuls-general from Brazil, Austria, New Zealand, Malta, Venezuela, Ecuador, Cuba and Sweden visited Fudan University today to mark the International Women's Day.
They took a tour around the campus and met local government officials, university officials and faculties, to learn the school history and its international study facilities and exchanges with other countries.
They also met Chinese and foreign students at Fudan, sharing their views on women's development.
With a history of 112 years, Fudan admitted its first batch of female students in 1927. It was one of the earliest local universities to recruit women students.
In 1928, Fudan became the first university in Shanghai to have female students attending campus sports meeting.
Women took up less than one tenth of all Fudan students initially, but now they account for more than half in undergraduates.
Women have also made great contribution to the development of Fudan.
Xie Xide, former president of Fudan, was one the great contributors. She was the first female president of colleges in the history of the People's Republic of China.
She returned to China and began teaching at Fudan in 1951 after graduating from MIT with a doctorate degree in physics. She is regarded as the founder of China's subjects of semiconductor physics and surface physics and had cultivated many top talents in the fields.
Fudan was also the first to establish research center about women related issues, which was set up in1994.
