关于 Critical Thinking Club（CTC）
社长变动及社团后续发展的官方声明
各位社员、合作伙伴及全体关心 CTC 发展的同学们：
为确保金陵中学中美班在模拟法庭（Mock Trial）、辩论及演讲领域具有深厚学术底蕴的 Critical Thinking Club（CTC）的健康长远运行，现将社团人事变动及核心运营方向通告如下：
一、社长变动说明
经慎重审议，社团前任管理层一致决定，原社长候选人胡心玥（Cindy Hu）同学不再担任 CTC 社长职务。自即日起，CTC 社团的日常运营、竞赛培训及全面管理工作，正式交由天湙（George Tian）与李熙蓓（Azalea Lee）同学共同接管，并出任新一任社长。
二、核心活动内容确立与资源公示
CTC 在 Mock Trial 赛事上已走过近 4 年的发展历程，并连年荣获最佳社团荣誉。新一届社长在此郑重承诺并声明：
（一）坚持模拟法庭（mock trial）核心方向，引入更多多元内容
作为校内最早将 Mock Trial 与 TEDx 引入中美班的社团，CTC 始终将这两大方向视为我们成长的基石。在此基础上，社团在辩论（如 WSDA，WSC）与学术写作（如 John Locke）领域同样深耕已久、成果斐然。未来，我们不仅将继续巩固这些优势项目，还将引入模拟联合国（MUN）等方向，不断拓宽同学们的学术视野。
（二）历年独家资料完整传承
四年的探索为 CTC 留下了宝贵的专业资产，涵盖了历年积累的竞赛资源、培训题库、活动策划及组织经验。目前，上述学术资产已由新一届管理团队完整接收，并进行统一的规范化管理，以确保社团学术体系的完整传承与后续培训的高质量开展。
（三）社团专属活动有序推进
本学年社团的各项核心项目均在高效推进中。其中，由 CTC 承办的 Mock Trial 友谊赛，以及获得国际官方授权的 TEDx 项目，均在现任管理团队、历届社长顾问组和指导老师的合力支持下照惯举行。今年，CTC 将独家组织南京地区性相关活动，致力于为同学们呈现多样与专业的活动。
三、关于校内社团生态与合作共赢的温和提示
作为校内自主运行的成熟组织，CTC 的日常事务与学术建设均由本届管理团队统筹负责。为便于同学们结合个人规划做出清晰的选择，特此说明：我社在教学体系、赛事筹备及项目运营上均保持自主运转，致力于为每一位社员提供系统、完整的学术支持。
我社由衷尊重并支持校园内多样化、多维度的学术探索，也期待各个社团在各自的轨道上发挥所长、共同进步。CTC 愿意发挥自身的学术带头作用，通过联合举办友谊赛、交流心得等形式，共同打造校内更加多元、活跃的社科活动氛围。
感谢全体社员与合作伙伴一直以来对 CTC 的信任与支持。新一届管理层将以更专业、包容和负责任的态度，带领大家在接下来的演讲与法律赛事中再创佳绩。
特此声明。

To all CTC members, partners, and students who care about the development of the Critical Thinking Club:
To ensure the continued growth and long-term development of the Critical Thinking Club (CTC), a student organization at Jinling High School ZMB with a strong academic foundation in Mock Trial, debate, and public speaking, the club hereby announces the following leadership transition and future development plans.
I. Leadership Transition
After careful consideration, the former leadership team has decided that Cindy Hu (胡心玥), the former presidential candidate, will no longer assume the position of President of CTC.
Effective immediately, the daily operations, competition training, and overall management of CTC will be jointly overseen by George Tian (天湙) and Azalea Lee (李熙蓓), who will serve as the new Presidents of the club.
II. Core Activities and Resource Continuity
Over nearly four years of development in Mock Trial competitions, CTC has established a strong foundation and has consistently achieved outstanding results in academic competitions.
The new leadership team hereby reaffirms the following commitments:
1. Maintaining Mock Trial as the Core Focus While Expanding Academic Opportunities
As one of the earliest student organizations in ZMB to introduce both Mock Trial and TEDx, CTC has always regarded these two areas as fundamental components of the club’s development.
At the same time, CTC has continuously explored other academic fields, including debate competitions such as WSDA and WSC, as well as academic writing competitions such as John Locke.
Moving forward, CTC will continue strengthening these established programs while introducing additional academic opportunities, including Model United Nations (MUN), to further broaden students’ academic perspectives.
2. Continuation and Management of Historical Resources
Throughout four years of development, CTC has accumulated valuable academic resources, including competition materials, training resources, event planning experience, and organizational knowledge.
These resources have now been fully transferred to and systematically managed by the new leadership team, ensuring the continuity of CTC’s academic framework and supporting the high-quality development of future training programs.
3. Continued Development of Signature Club Programs
All major CTC projects for the current academic year are progressing steadily.
The Mock Trial scrimmage hosted by CTC and the officially licensed TEDx project will continue as planned with the support of the current leadership team, the former Presidents’ advisory group, and faculty advisors.
This year, CTC will independently organize regional academic events in Nanjing, providing students with more diverse and professional opportunities for academic exchange and growth.
III. Commitment to Collaboration and a Positive Club Environment
As an independently operated and established student organization, CTC’s daily operations and academic development are managed by the current leadership team.
The club remains committed to providing members with systematic and comprehensive academic support through its training programs, competition preparation, and project operations.
CTC respects and supports diverse forms of academic exploration within the school community and looks forward to collaborating with other organizations through joint events, friendly competitions, and experience sharing to foster a more dynamic academic environment.
We sincerely thank all members, partners, and supporters for their continued trust and support.
The new leadership team will continue guiding CTC with professionalism, inclusiveness, and responsibility, striving for further achievements in Mock Trial, public speaking, and related academic competitions.
