"I have heard about Professor Lin Jiayang before I entered JAI. Today, I am very excited to listen to professor Lin's class closely. I will study hard in the four years in JAI." Wang Yang, a freshman, told us in an interview that Professor Lin's class gave him a clearer understanding of how to study in college and what a good designer should have, which guided his future study and life.

On the morning of September 15th, professor Lin Jiayang, the Honorary President of JAI, gave a wonderful and vivid "first class" to all freshmen of School of Design. In the class, Professor Lin Jiayang explained to the freshmen that designers should have the ability of public relations, time management and the equal importance of IQ and EQ; I hope that students can read more books and learn more English. Only when they have accumulated enough knowledge can their brains be flexible and creative. He also summarized the four key skills to develop as a designer and the skills required for college.

The folded wood is born at the very end, a platform of nine stories begins with soil. Since its establishment 20 years ago, the School of Design has always been the key construction unit of JAI. JAI has made active exploration in discipline construction, school-running rules, school-running characteristics and other aspects, and achieved internationalization of teaching mode, integration of teaching and enterprise docking and multimedia technology of design products. Professor Lin Jiayang's "first class" is both with " warm heart" and "burning emotion". We believe that in the future, this seed will blossom in the hearts of students.
