"Mr. Jen-Shyong Ho, Chairman of the Ho Chin-Tui Education Foundation and the Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corporation together with NTHU have written a new page in the education history of our nation," said President Lih J. Chen during the award ceremony of the Ho Chin-Tui Distinguished Chair Professorship and the Ho Chin-Tui Chair Professorship. President Chen noted that universities in Taiwan have made great strides in recent years to upgrade their academic capability and are beginning to attract international recognition. The momentum of such ascendancy, however, was somewhat restrained due to the amount of resources available to the public universities in our country. This situation is about to be changed by efforts made by civic and industrial leaders such as Dr. Ho Jen-Shyong. Dr. Ho's magnanimous donation to endow the two chair professorships made it possible for NTHU to recruit and retain the brightest and the best in a highly competitive market and continue its effort ascending toward a world-class university. Dr. Ho remarked that the industrial and business sectors in Taiwan used to concentrate their support to the universities mainly in the improvement of infrastructure. He believes, his donation to endow the two chair professorships meets the urgent needs of NTHU and is sustainable in nature. It intends to assist NTHU in the highly competitive market and it will also provide the needed recognition for deserving faculty members who have excelled in their research endeavors.......<<More>> |
