On June 11, Beijing Forestry University (BFU) launched its first Graduation Market. As a key section of the 2025 graduation celebrations, the event featured over 20 activities including flea markets, graduation design exhibition, live performances, and alumni engagement.

University leaders, including President Li Zhaohu, extended their congratulations to graduates while gathering their input on campus development. President Li hoped that the graduates could "stay true to their original aspirations and strive for ecological innovation." At the interactive part, the school leaders stamped blessings on postcards and distributed BFU's cultural and creative products along with specialty foods to the graduates as gifts.

In the flea market area, graduates sold pre-owned items, while a charity stand collected used books for incoming freshmen in need. Meanwhile, the graduation design exhibition, featuring work from the Colleges of Art, Landscape Architecture, and Materials Science, spotlighted BFU's academic excellence through innovative designs.

Student clubs energized the campus with flash mob performances including hip-hop dance and crosstalk. Graduates decorated their caps with floral designs representing "blossoming futures" and wrote heartfelt farewell messages. Also, the newly launched alumni mini-program registered 500+ graduates, helping them stay connected to BFU as they embark on their next chapters.

Evolving from a 20-year history flea market tradition, the market now merges graduate nostalgia with sustainability. BFU will leverage its "All-in-One" Student Community Initiative to scale this signature event, reinforcing its commitment to holistic student development.
