The delegation comprised executive members from various regional or university-based Malaysian alumni associations.

Prof. Chen noted that beyond participating in overseas education fairs, Tamkang University has also launched new recruitment initiatives, such as inviting high school principals for campus visits. She thanked Pang and other Malaysian alumni for their strong support. President Keh remarked that amid the challenges posed by Taiwan’s declining birthrate, in addition to tuition subsidy policies for private universities, the tangible support of domestic and international alumni in recruitment efforts plays a crucial role in ensuring Tamkang University’s sustainable development.

Participants included Dean Huei-Chun Chi (College of Liberal Arts), Dean Tzenge-Lien Shih (College of Science), Dean Yi-Ti Lin (College of Foreign Languages and Literatures), Dean Cheng-Hao Pao (College of International Affairs), Dean Kuo-Hua Chen (College of Education), Dean of Academic Affairs Tzong-Ru Tsai, Dean of International Affairs Prof. Chien-Mu Yeh, Associate Professor Tsung-Yuan Chen (Department of History), Rou Chuang (Officer of Department of Overseas Compatriot Student Affairs, Overseas Community Affairs Council), and Ng Heng Yoong (Malaysian alumnus of the Department of Information Management and Vice President of FAATUM). Prof. Chen began the session by introducing TKU’s founding educational philosophy of “Globalization, Information-oriented Education, and Future-oriented Education,” proposed by founder Dr. Clement C.P. Chang, and the current development vision of “AI+SDGs=∞” proposed by President Keh. She highlighted TKU’s commitment to smart campus development with the launch of Smart Cloud Campus 3.0 and its long-standing efforts in internationalization.
Pang stated that the visit to Tamkang University was specially arranged in the itinerary to admire the beautiful campus and encourage alumni to recommend Tamkang to their children or friends’ children, emphasizing that TKU promises a joyful and enriching campus life. Following this, Prof. Yeh gave an engaging and informative presentation on student recruitment, highlighting the unique strengths of TKU’s colleges, scholarships available to international students, and various support resources.
