With the easing of the pandemic situation, exchanges between our university and partner institutions have gradually resumed with enthusiasm. On August 7th, a delegation from Chung-Ang University (CAU) in South Korea visited our campus. The visit aimed not only to learn about our current situation but also to engage in discussions regarding mutual exchanges. Chairperson Flora Chia-I Chang specially hosted a banquet to welcome these old friends who had come from afar, marking a long-awaited reunion.

Chung-Ang University, established in 1916, has campuses in Seoul and Anseong. It is a well-known private university in South Korea with nearly 40,000 students. Its Drama, Film, and Photography departments are ranked first in the country, producing numerous renowned performing artists. The university comprises 19 colleges and 14 graduate schools. It became a partner institution of our university in June 2014, resulting in frequent and close exchanges since then. The collaboration includes 27 students from both universities participating in exchange programs. Our university has also seen 83 students taking part in international courses at Chung-Ang University. Both the then President, Dr. Flora Chia-I Chang and the current President, Dr. Huan-Chao Keh, have led delegations on visits to their campus.
