NTHU has maintained an active interaction with all her alumni, overseas included. Following the great success of establishing the Macao Alumni Association in March, 2011, and the Alumni Association of Overseas Chinese in Taiwan last June, four NTHU faculty and staff members, led by Senior Vice President Ming-Chuen Yip travelled to Malaysia and Singapore to participate in the founding of Malaysia Alumni Association and Singapore Alumni Association on the 24th of September. As the number of alumni grows, NTHU is making a concerted effort to keep all alumni, including those who are currently residing outside of Taiwan, updated on the development of their alma mater.
Over thirty alumni in Malaysia and more than twenty in Singapore attended the founding ceremonies. Such liaisons also received respectful attention from local media such as Sin Chew Daily. Mr. Shun-Fa Gao, the founding President of the Malaysia Alumni Association is a 1994 graduate from Department of Chemical Engineering, and Mr. Ying-Chun Lin, the founding President of the Singapore Alumni Association, a 2002 graduate from Department of Chinese Language and Literature; both expressed their gratitude to NTHU for the many years of education that prepared them to face the various challenges in life. As the key officers of these new organizations, they hoped to act as the bridge between alumni and their alma mater, and to contribute professional skills to their respective societies as proud members of NTHU.
In addition of attending the establishment ceremonies of Malaysia Alumni Association and Singapore Alumni Association, Senior Vice President Yip also visited Tsun Jin High School and Kluang Chong Hwa High School in Kuala Lumpur, and River Valley High School in Singapore to encourage the four hundred young promising students to join NTHU after their graduation from high school.
