Arizona State University Awards Honorary Degree to Wu Qidi, Vice Minister of Education in the People's Republic of China

May 12, 2006

Like ASU, Chinese Institutions Must Master Providing Quality Education to Large Numbers of Students

    TEMPE, Ariz., May 12 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Wu Qidi,
vice minister of education of the People's Republic of
China, was awarded an honorary degree at Arizona State
University's spring commencement ceremony May 11, 2006.

    ASU awarded Wu the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters
in recognition of her significant achievements as a leader
in higher education and her exceptional work in academic
research. 

    Wu oversees all Ministry of Education universities in
China, which number around 70, and is guiding the
transformation of many into major research institutions.

    She is confronting a challenge familiar to ASU --
figuring out how to offer a quality education to a large
and growing number of students.  She has been studying
ASU's approach and the concept and structure of President
Michael Crow's New American University.

    Previous to her post as vice minister of education that
she assumed in 2003, Wu was president of Tongji University. 
She was elected to that position in 1995, and was the first
university president chosen by a democratic election in
China.

    During Wu's eight-year presidency, the university
increased the quality of its undergraduate curriculum,
improved research competence through postgraduate programs,
and became interdisciplinary.  As a result, Tongji developed
from a leading engineering school to a comprehensive,
research intensive and international university, ranking
among top Chinese universities.

    Due to her outstanding work, Wu has been recognized
with a number of awards including an Outstanding Young and
Middle-aged Expert Award from the Ministry of Personnel in
1996; an Excellent Overseas Returned Scholar Award in 1997;
and a National Ten Outstanding Women award in 1998.  The
German Federal government honored her with Grand Cross of
the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in
1999.
