By Carlos Wang (王元容) Campus Reporter A joint presentation by National Chengchi University's (NCCU) student clubs was organized between Oct. 4 and Oct. 6 for recruiting new members. NCCU Student Association said that an addition 30 clubs participated in the event, topping the total amount from 90 to 120 from last summer. The Pilots (引水人), a student group serving as the guides and receptionists for the guests, designed a game that offering chances for students to experience its work with several rewards. Huang Yu-ting (黃于庭), president of the Pilots, said that they decided to wear their uniforms and walk around the campus to give out their pamphlets, which builds their professional image and lets everybody know more about them. Lots of clubs planned the “live shows” and “flash mob” to impress the students. Lin Yu-chia (林昱佳), president of Cheng-Sheng Chorus (振聲合唱團), said that their pamphlets were designed as heart shape. They presented their song around the campus and gave out the pamphlets at the same time, symbolling that they are giving out the blessings. NCCU 24 Festive Drums club (政大二十四節令鼓社) organized a flash mob show in front of Shi-wei Hall (四維堂) at noon. “Our club was set up just last year. We hope that the 24 festive drums, traditional instrument that combine calligraphy, Guangdong lion dance and Malaysian culture, can be known by more people,” said Chen Chee-yong (陳志詠), president of 24 Festive Drums club. Audis Huang (黃昱融), president of NCCU Afro Music (黑人音樂社) that was reset up this semester, presented the beat-box show in front of the stand. The scale of joint presentation drew the attention of international students. Helena Imics and Caroline Imics, international student from the America, were impressed by students’ involvement in this event, compared with the experience they had when they were studying in the U.S. According to the Student Association, booths of the clubs from the same category were set up in the same area this time, having students to find their favorite clubs more easily.

By Christine Chou (周家慈) Staff Writer Seetoo Dah-hsian(司徒達賢), a professor of Department of Business Administration, received Zhongni Prize at the National Chengchi University (NCCU) on Oct. 3. Zhongni Prize is launched by Lee Swee-huat (李瑞華), a professor for NCCU's international MBA program, in May. He hoped that the award would become a symbol of teaching: When it comes to Zhongni Prize, people would think more about teaching. Seetoo studied business administration at NCCU and finished his PhD at Northwestern University. His specialties are Strategic Management Organization Theory and Management Problem Solving and Decision Making. "It is always difficult to judge the quality of teaching and there are so many excellent teachers at NCCU,"  Seetoo said. “Due to my 40 years teaching experience, maybe my age is not controversial to get this prize.” Seetoo's teaching style was inspired by his elementary school teachers because those teachers encouraged students to share their opinion in class. Seetoo said that he met so many teachers who devoted their life to students and he would never forget those teachers. Seetoo employs case method in class needed discussion between students and teacher. Many students felt a lot of pressure because they had to be well-prepared before class. NCCU President Edward Chow (周行一), a student of Seetoo's, said that he was afraid of teacher Seetoo when he was in his class, but now he felt so grateful to Seetoo. A new library, which is donated by Seetoo's students, is building on campus. The name of the library will be named Seetoo Dah-hsian when it is finished. Seetoo's students will send the library as a birthday gift to Seetoo when he reached 75 in the hope to highlight his efforts toward teaching and his contribution to NCCU.

By Xie Yi-ting (謝宜婷) Campus Reporter National Chengchi University’s (NCCU) Sara Wu (吳思璇), a sophomore from the Department of Diplomacy, Jenny Pan (潘冠樺), a junior from the Department of Economics and Stacey Shih (史佳欣), a graduate from the Digital Content & Technologies, won the first prize of an advertisement art design contest on Oct. 2. The contest, featuring “Solve and Create,” was a cross-campus event and was joined by students from NCCU, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan Tech) and National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU). Creative marketing strategies, innovative service and practical solution were the rules for judges to decide the winners. Wu said that their program, “Street Life” (皆生), was designed and expected to provide housing for the homeless with the mode of social enterprise. They would rent an apartment for the homeless and open a coffee shop on its first floor where consumers can chat with the homeless to know more about their stories. The rent, part of which is from the homeless, would be supplemented by the revenue from the coffee shop. In this way, this victorious team expected to achieve the goal of symbiosis: the homeless and the coffee shop thrive by relying on each other. “Because of our members’ different expertise, we can finally make this program, which includes an eye-catching logo, exquisite illustrations in the presentation slides and accurate evaluation of the budget,” Wu said. The contest provided opportunities for students from different disciplines to exchange ideas. A senior student from the Department of Mechanical and Engineering in Taiwan Tech, Andrew Wang (王又正), said he learned to see the commercial program from other respects in the process of discussion. Wang said that he used to focus on the product itself but his teammates, who were from NCCU and NTNU, provided suggestion from the aspects of marketing strategies and the product design respectively and inspired him. The organizer of this commercial contest, Liu Ji-hsuan (劉吉軒), the director of the Center for Creativity and Innovation in NCCU said that he expected students from different colleges could exchange ideas and gained inspiration from other disciplines. Also, the contest was only the beginning because Liu expected students could put their ideas gained from this contest into action. He also mentioned there were many resources in NCCU for students. For example, some alumni who had the experience of establishing stat-up provide the service of counsel.

By Jamie Hsiao (蕭郁潔) Campus Reporter British Minister of State in the Department for International Trade Greg Hands said that the U.K. is actually seeking more opportunities in the world after it leaves the EU during his speech at National Chengchi University (NCCU) on Sept. 26. It was Hands' only public speech during his staying in Taiwan, which he talked about "Britain's Place in the World / Global Britain" at NCCU. "We are not leaving the Europe, we are re-joining the rest of the world," Hands said. Hands was commissioned as the minister of state in the Department for International Trade on July 15, three weeks after the U.K. voted to leave the EU. Hands emphasized that the U.K. is supported by super fast broadband coverage, an integrated transport system and low corporation tax. "The country is truly open for business to entrepreneurs who wish to take advantage of the many strengths the UK has to offer,"Hands said. Hands also encouraged students that they don't need to become too worried about knowing or not knowing about what they want to be just yet. "When I was your age if you had told me that one day I would be a government minister I would have laughed,"Hands said. NCCU President Edward Chow (周行一) hoped that the UK and NCCU can work together to implement more student exchange program. Echoing Chow, Hands said that every year, between 4,000 and 5,000 Taiwanese students chose to study in the U.K. on long-term courses. "We deeply value the many benefits that foreign students bring to the U.K. and will seek more opportunities with Taiwan for students to exchange," Hands said. Hands felt happy about the U.K. and Taiwan have always enjoyed a very productive and prosperous economic and cultural relationship. "I want this to be deepened and continue for many years to come," Hands said.
