滔滔珠水南粤风，五秩春秋育人。中外寰宇凤鸣声，云山依旧盛，广外启鹏程。2015年11月7日，广东外语外贸大学将迎来50周年华诞。在此，我们谨向长期以来关心支持广外建设与发展的各级领导、海内外校友、各界人士和朋友，致以衷心的感谢和诚挚的问候！

岁月沧桑，春华秋实。广外的前身广州外国语学院和广州对外贸易学院分别于1965年和1980年在南粤大地上诞生。1995年，两所学校珠联璧合，组建了广东外语外贸大学。2008年，广东财经职业学院划入广外。建校以来，我们始终践行“明德尚行，学贯中西”校训精神，历经几代人的艰苦创业和努力奋斗，广外已发展成为一所具有鲜明国际化特色的重点大学，是华南地区国际化人才培养和外国语言文化、对外经济贸易、国际战略研究的重要基地。学校为国家社会培养了十余万各界英才俊彦，遍布四海，誉传中外。

砥砺耕耘，铿锵前行。办学五十载，广外走出了一条独具特色的发展道路，在人才培养、学科建设、科学研究、社会服务、国际交流、文化传承等方面取得了突出成就。面对国家经济社会发展和高等教育发展的新形势，学校坚持内涵发展，加快改革创新，大力推进教育国际化战略，正朝着建设国际化特色鲜明的高水平大学的伟大目标昂首迈进，努力为国家和广东经济社会发展做出新的贡献。

鸿庠木铎振羊城，惯看沧桑峥嵘。一朝师友喜相逢，广外多少事，共忆笑谈中。学校将本着隆重、热烈、节俭的原则，以“重逢•筑梦”为主题开展建校50周年系列活动。值此盛典，我们诚挚邀请各级领导、四海校友、中外宾朋聚首广外，共襄盛举，齐展宏图，同谱华章！

特此公告，敬祈周知。

Celebrating GDUFS’s Proud Past and Fantastic Future!            

Not only celebrating the past…

Throughout 2015, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies (GDUFS) will be celebrating 50 years of learning by recognizing key events, people and achievements in our short yet remarkable history. Visit our 50th anniversary website (http://gw50.gdufs.edu.cn) and you will find stories from our past, the latest news, and details of our plans to mark the anniversary year. We will be looking at key events over the past 50 years and covering the many successes we have been so fortunate to share with students - both past and present - in business, industry, science and the other key education areas GDUFS is famous for. We trust you will find our year-long celebration fascinating, uplifting and illuminating - and we'd love you to get involved. Please share your stories, experiences, and thoughts on what we might do in the next 50 years. We encourage you to join in the celebrations in this auspicious year while the grand ceremony falls in early November 2015.

Today’s GDUFS is just the beginning. As we celebrate 50 years of excellence, we are already looking forward to our centenary in 2065. The University attaches great importance to developing academic and cultural exchanges with overseas institutions. At present, it has established links with over 260 universities, academic institutions or cultural organizations in regions and countries around the world. With 18 foreign language majors provided, GDUFS is one of the few universities in South China that offer such a variety of language teaching.

The University is one of the most prestigious universities in China today. Specializing in international studies, GDUFS is one of the key institutions of higher learning in Guangdong Province. It was established through the merger of the Guangzhou Institute of Foreign Languages, the Guangzhou Institute of Foreign Trade and others.

The University is based in Guangzhou, a city with a long history, a rich cultural legacy and the economic hub of Southern China. It boasts three campuses, the main one lying at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. Currently the university offers 61 undergraduate majors, which fall into eight disciplines: literature, economics, management, law, engineering, science, education and art. GDUFS is home to two national key research centers, one for research in humanities and social sciences, and the other for training students of minor languages.

Help us to celebrate our past and tell us your vision for GDUFS for the next 50 years. What incredible new experiences and opportunities will we be part of? Send your initial thoughts to gdufs50@gdufs.edu.cn and we will share the most intriguing, illuminating and humorous on both our English and Chinese news channels.

We cordially welcome international talents to come for academic visits, research and teaching.

We look forward to your contribution to the future development of GDUFS.
