Student party building in 985 universities plays an important role in the national university student party building, which is in a special status and plays as an important model role. In the new historical period of the first year of the “twelfth five year plan”, the development of 985 universities will face more opportunities and challenges and their student party building will face a new situation. We should put the student party building in the whole political background of achieving the goal determined in the fifth plenary session of the 17th National Congress, exam it under new challenges brought by profound changes in the world, and research it according to inherent requirements of the high level university construction. Only in this way, we can accurately understand new goals, new challenges and new requirements of the student party building in 985 universities.
