An Executive Visit to Mainland China

2012/06/28

Po-yuan Kao, the TKU Vice President for Administrative Affairs, recently led a team of TKU delegates on a visit of four TKU sister universities in Mainland China. These universities included Nankai University (in Tianjin), Tianjin University, the Shandong University of Finance and Economics, and Shandong University. Extending from June 15-20, the purpose of the trip was to strengthen Tamkang’s partnership with sister universities in the Tianjin and Shandong regions, and to observe and learn from the universities’ administrative structures.

The Tamkang delegation consisted of Vice President Kao; Dr. Pei Wha Chi Lee, the Dean of International Affairs; Lee Ching-Tai, the Section Chief of the Guidance Section; Liu Chia-Wen of the Office of Academic Affairs; Lai Ying-Hsiu of the Office of General Affairs; Liu Yu Chen of the Office of Information Services; Ho Meng-Ling of the Chueh Sheng Memorial Library; and Li Yao-Ting of the TKU Lanyang Campus. During the visit, the delegation discussed a number of topics with local Mainland Chinese university staff. This included issues related to student admission, student guidance and counseling, library management, the construction of information systems, and service standards at university cafeterias.

From as early as 1992, Tamkang University gradually began to form partnerships with leading universities and institutions in Mainland China. These include the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xiamen University, Fudan University, Peking University, and Zhejiang University, to name just a few. To date, Tamkang has formed sister school relations with 32 universities in China. Moreover, last year a total of 78 Mainland Chinese students came to Taiwan to undertake university studies. This is the second largest number of Mainland students admitted out of all universities in Taiwan.
