On January 2^nd, NTCU had great honor to welcome Dr. Umemoto Yutaka, the Director of Kyoto Tachibana University (abbreviated as KTU) to sign the MoU between the two institutions.
     KTU was founded in 1967 as Tachibana Women’s University, which had a long history back to 1902. The University currently consists of five faculties and ten departments, and approximately 4000 students. In the meeting, Director Umemoto explained and clarified the meaning of university name. “Tachibana” originated from tachibana trees planted at the historical site of the university. It also implied bringing up students to have “dignified” and “noble” personality, connected to the tachibana symbol. In the future, we positively expect the two universities to develop more exchange projects and to achieve the deeper collaboration and cooperation (translated by Hui-Yi Hung)
