Affected by the pandemic, GUST carried out the "serving the country people in three aspects" activity this year in a centralized as well as decentralized manner. This year’s "serving the country people in three aspects" activity has been greatly challenged. In July and August this year, GUST focused on the social practices during the summer vacation. The team was organized based on the principle of accessibility, online guidance given by teachers, and a combination of online together with offline practical activities. A total of 26 teams of the "serving the country people in three aspects" were organized with each team equipped with an instructor to ensure the orderly organization and effectiveness of the activities.
