On March 10, 2011, we had the honor of welcoming three distinguished guests including Vice President Prof. Bill Purcell of the University of Technology Sydney.
The very pleasant and significant face-to-face meeting was hosted by President Yang Sze-wei and was attended as well by Director Hu Feng-jung of International Study Division, Dean Hsu Tien-wei of Department of Academic Affairs, Director Lin Tsai-yu of Section of Academic Affairs, Head of General Affairs Hou Chen-tang, eleven administrative and academic executives in total. This is the first visit by Vice President Prof. Bill Purcell to the counterpart school in Taiwan. Through such a significant opportunity, the University of Technology Sydney dignitaries tried hard to make the striking characteristics and advantages of the University of Technology Sydney better known to students in Taiwan in the hope to create chances for further cooperation and interchanges. Vice President Prof. Bill Purcell pointed out after the rendezvous that University of Technology Sydney would arrange its heads of International Interchange and College of Education to Taiwan for on-the-spot visits and will arrange concrete contents for subsequent programs. One key point worth noticing: At the moment more than three hundred Taiwan students are studying at the University of Technology Sydney.
