On December 15, the second Chongqing Universities Staff Health and Vitality Competition was held at the Qijiang Campus of Chongqing Foreign Languages and Foreign Affairs College, where the SISU Faculty Arts Troupe delivered an outstanding performance and brought home top honors.

At the event, the SISU troupe won first prize in the group dance category, and Ms. Gan Shushu from the Business English School earned second place in the individual category, earning recognition for both her artistry and competitive spirit.

Sichuan International Studies University placed a high priority on preparation for the competition. Prior to the event, Vice President Lu Bo delivered a motivational address to the participating faculty, encouraging them to bring enthusiasm and determination to the competition and to showcase SISU’s spirit of unity, resilience, and well-being.

The SISU faculty union played a central role in organizing support and logistics, coordinating registration, training, and participation for all team members. Despite tight preparation time and the heavy demands of daily academic work, faculty from various academic units and administrative departments devoted their spare time to rehearsals, refined their routines with care, and demonstrated strong teamwork and dedication throughout the preparation process.

The success at this competition is another milestone in SISU’s ongoing efforts to strengthen cultural life among faculty and staff. The faculty union has consistently focused on enriching staff cultural experiences and promoting physical and mental well-being by building platforms for a wide range of cultural and recreational activities, ensuring that faculty development and community engagement go hand in hand.

Nearly 10,000 students, faculty, staff, and community members have participated in recent SISU cultural and sports initiatives, reflecting the university’s commitment to a vibrant campus culture that supports personal health, artistic expression, and institutional pride.
