On April 9, a sister school of Tamkang University, San Francisco State University (SFSU) Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Amy Sueyoshi, along with Dr. Alex Hwu, Dean of the College of Professional and Global Education, and Mr. Alexander Chang, Director of International Recruitment, visited our campus. The Office of International and Cross-Strait Affairs received them. In addition to visiting the Gallery of Tamkang History & The Founder Dr. Clement C.P. Chang’s Memorial Hall, they also exchanged ideas on student exchange programs and discussed cooperation opportunities. Dr. Sueyoshi was invited to give a master lecture for the Department of International Business at 2:00 PM on the same day, with the topic “Opportunities and Challenges for LGBTQ+ Leaders in the Workplace”.
The symposium was chaired by the Dean of International Affairs, Dr. Chien-Mu Yeh, with participation from the Dean of the College of Business and Management, Dr. Li-Ren Yang, Dean of the College of International Affairs, Dr. Cheng-Hao Pao, Dr. Alex Hwu, and Mr. Chang. Dr. Hwu expressed that Tamkang University has always been a valued partner for their institution. They hope to enhance student short-term exchanges and improve exchange programs to meet students' needs better while continuing the excellent cooperation between the two schools. Dr. Yeh emphasized the close ties between the 4 departments of Tamkang University's former Lanyang campus and the Department of International Business with SFSU. He also mentioned the ongoing promotion of high-quality sister schools recommended by faculty members to students. Mr. Chang raised observations and suggestions from the current junior year abroad program between the 2 schools and the PreMBA program collaboration with the College of Business and Management. He proposed considering a model similar to the International Tourism Management Department's junior year abroad program, where students study on-campus in the first semester and intern off-campus in the second semester. He hoped to discuss and explore opportunities for junior and senior exchange students from the department to intern in San Francisco, thereby increasing students' willingness to participate in exchanges with SFSU.
