🍊December at Westlake tastes… sweet! 🧡
It’s that time of year again—when our dozens of campus persimmon trees turn bright orange, and the Westlake community joins in the happy annual tradition.
Here’s to a bright, fresh, persimmon-powered end to the year! ✨

[Westlake University @Westlake_Uni]

Westlake University deeply mourns the passing of Professor Chen-Ning Yang — Nobel laureate in Physics, Honorary Chair of the Board of Trustees of Westlake University, and a member of Westlake’s Advisory Board.
Professor Yang’s century-long life was a bridge between East and West, a journey devoted to truth, science, and his beloved homeland. His wisdom, humility, and pursuit of excellence will forever inspire generations of scholars.
May his legacy continue to illuminate the path of scientific discovery.

🏃‍♂️🎉 Ready, set, RUN! 🎉🏃‍♀️
To celebrate the grand opening of Phase 3 of Westlake University’s Yungu Campus, we kicked things off last night with a fun run! Starting from the South Gate’s main square, we ran across the scenic bridges of the water ring, passed the brand-new rec zone, the sparkling new dorms, the sleek research hubs, and even our classically designed General Education Center — all before crossing the finish line at our stunning new library. 📚✨ Westlake is growing, and we’re just getting started! 💙
