On November 23rd, during the 95th Anniversary Celebration at NPUST, the university’s Alumni Service Center hosted a special “Professional Sales Platform and Outstanding Alumni Exhibition” on campus. Alumni who are active in the business world were invited to return to their Alma Mater and share some of their achievements with the school.
The Professional Sales Platform and Outstanding Alumni Exhibition provided alumni with a platform to sell products, share technology, and highlighting some of their professional successes. The event also served as a rostrum to promote industry-academic cooperation opportunities. A total of 46 booths were installed for the exhibition, with the NPUST Business Incubation Center providing guidance to businesses on the set-up. The Pingtung County Labor and Youth Development Department was among the exhibitors, with a booth set-up to provide information about international culture and legal services for businesses.
The model for the exhibition originated from an event that took place in March of this year. At that time, the NPUST Malaysia Alumni Association organized an “Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Exhibition” in Malaysia with the goal of bringing together alumni from around Malaysia and Taiwan to share on the work they have been doing since graduating. NPUST’s president, Chang-Hsien Tai, and the NPUST Alumni Association president, Kuo-lin Chen, led a group of 100 faculty and students on a trip to Malaysia to be there for the exhibition. On that occasion, the 72 booths that were set up by NPUST Alumni attracted around 5000 visitors who were interested in learning more about the university – clearly demonstrating the reputation that NPUST has earned in Malaysia for its research and education.
As NPUST approaches 100 years since its establishment, it has many successful stories to share – and many things to look forward to. The university is very optimistic about the future development it has in store, with so many talented students from both home and abroad currently cultivating skills and exploring knowledge that will shape the world of tomorrow. The examples that have been set by many of its alumni offer encouragement to these students and will hopefully inspire them to aim high and pursue great things.
