The vision of RUC is reflected in our logo, which is composed of three “人” (ren), a Chinese character that can be translated into person, human or humanity. The logo stands for “people’s university,” “the spirit of humanism” and “a focus on the humanities and social sciences.”  RUC’s vision is to become a world-class university that equips future leaders, produces cutting-edge research and promotes global academic exchange.
