Professor David Sadler, Former Vice President of Academic Affairs at XJTLU, shares his message to XJTLU:
"Congratulations to XJTLU on the occasion of its 20th anniversary of foundation. I had the honour of being part of the first graduation ceremony in 2010, and of supporting the growth in academic activity for a number of years thereafter. I remember well the sense of adventure and possibility, the drive and purpose, and the sharing of ideas and past experiences. The campus was a tribute to the power of creative thinking. I've watched the University develop from a distance since then, but the innovativeness still inspires. I look forward to seeing what XJTLU can become over the next 20 years."
