The legend of 100% employment Asia University is boosting by Nobel masters 亞洲大學接軌國際 站上巨人肩膀 蔡進發創造100%就業傳奇

Located in the Wufeng District of Taichung City, over the past two years Asia University has invited 10 Nobel Prize winners and other leading international experts to lecture at the University. Dr. Jeffrey J.P. Tsai, Asia University President said, “We want to make Asia University a university that stands out from the crowd, and we believe that internationalization is the way to achieve this goal.” Dr. Tsai said that Asia University will continue working towards this objective.
位於台中霧峰的亞洲大學,近二年已邀請10位諾貝爾得主、國際大師來台講學,「亞洲大學就是要辦一所不一樣的大學,而國際化就是定位與目標。」亞洲大學校長蔡進發說,這個目標絕不會改變。

Dr. Tsai notes that the choice of “Asia University” as the university’s name reflects the desire to internationalize, and make the University a truly world-class institution. This internationalization strategy can be seen in four key areas. Firstly, there is the forging of “sister university” relationships with leading international universities such as Stanford. Secondly, Nobel Prize winners from other countries are invited to lecture at the University every year. Thirdly, Asia University has worked to create an internationalized learning environment; for example, last year the University established a new International College, whose students currently includes 237 students from 18 different countries. Fourthly, the University encourages students to participate in international competitions and award schemes, including major international design competitions such as Germany’s Red Dot, IF, and IDEA, as well as international invention competitions. The aim here is to get students active outside the campus, on the international stage.
蔡進發強調,學校以「亞洲」為名,即放眼國際化,與世界接軌。國際化,則從四方面彰顯:一是與史丹福等國際名校締結姐妹校;二是每年定期邀請諾貝爾國際大師來台講學;三為創造一個具國際化的學習環境,去年增設「國際學院」,招收來自於18個國家的國際學生共237人;四是鼓勵學生參加國際大獎,如設計類的德國紅點、IF、IDEA等大賽,還有國際發明展等,讓學生走出校園、邁向國際。

Dr. Tsai says that the fundamental element internationalization is respect, including having tolerance and respect for difference cultures. Asia University has succeeded in creating an internationalized environment, and in raising the caliber (and broadening the outlook) of both faculty members and students. At the same time, this strategy has also helped the University to differentiate itself. Another special feature of Asia University is the assistance that the University provides in arranging internships and other work experience opportunities; for example, students in the Department of Social Work are helped to take up internships with various social welfare agencies and organizations. As a result, students at Asia University can be almost certain of finding jobs after they graduate.
蔡進發說,國際化的本質是尊重、包容不同的文化,亞洲大學創造一個國際化的環境,拉高師生的格局及視野,也為學校創造出不同的特色。學校並讓社工系等相關系所學生能到各個社福機構實習,畢業後百分之百就業。
