STUST recently held the USR Student Community Expo the 110th academic year to welcome new students. It was held on the sidewalk in front of the STUST Campus Gym. The event attracted nearly 400 faculty members and students to stop and participate in it. This year, the USR × SDGs Student Community Expo was planned and implemented by seven USR project and course communities. Continuing the activity model and holding on to the goal of the previous school year, each student team of the USR project independently discussed, planned, and integrated the practical results into the various interactive games or experience activities of the expo. This made the participants understand USR and its issues in a short time, leaving to themselves a deep impression.
