Student Drug Abuse Prevention 

The university implements a series of activities to prevent student drug abuse and block drugs from entering campus. The Spring Sunshine Volunteer Club actively promotes the “Service-Learning Model for College Student Drug Abuse Prevention,” organizing outreach campaigns at nearby junior and elementary schools. These activities raise awareness of the dangers of drugs, encourage young students to stay away from substance abuse, and support the Ministry of Education’s anti-drug initiatives. In 2024, the university organized 12 sessions with a total of 3,693 participants.

Student Financial Aid and Support Measures 

Since 2018, the university has received funding support from the Ministry of Education to establish a comprehensive student assistance mechanism, offering multi-dimensional support programs for students from economically or culturally disadvantaged backgrounds. Starting in 2024, the university expanded its approach by promoting integrated, cross-departmental guidance that addresses learning, daily life, and career development. A total of 12 sub-mechanisms (as illustrated) were introduced to provide diverse support options, encouraging disadvantaged students to strengthen their learning capacity and broaden their opportunities.

Through the “Career Potential Star Selection” initiative, students who benefited from the support mechanisms are invited to share their learning experiences, thereby raising awareness of the assistance programs and encouraging more students to choose academic support over part-time jobs. This approach enhances both learning outcomes and future employability. On average, over 1,000 disadvantaged students receive financial aid annually under the university’s assistance programs, representing more than 50% of eligible students. Each recipient receives an average annual scholarship of NT$11,108, effectively easing financial burdens and allowing students to pursue their studies with peace of mind.

To encourage diverse learning, enhance professional skills, and broaden global perspectives, the university provides various scholarships and has established guidelines for supporting disadvantaged students. Assistance includes scholarships, living allowances, emergency relief funds, and housing subsidies. In addition, annual allocations are made for work-study programs, allowing students to focus on both work and study without financial stress. In Academic Year 2023 (112), the total amount of scholarships and financial aid exceeded NT$74.64 million, including NT$24.91 million funded by the university, benefiting a total of 10,725 student applications.

Special Education Resource Center 

To support students with special needs in pursuing their studies with confidence, the university renamed its “Resource Classroom” to the Special Education Resource Center (SERC) in 2024. With the vision of being “A Home Away from Home,” the center provides a warm and welcoming learning environment, offering academic tutoring, counseling, career guidance, assistive devices, and resource coordination. It aims to foster independence and empower students to contribute to society after graduation. In 2024, the center assisted 64 students with special needs in completing their studies and successfully graduating.

The university’s special education planning centers on building a supportive community and creating an empowering environment. Since 2021, the “Dream Lab” has served as a career training and internship platform, helping students practice workplace etiquette and interpersonal skills. Through hands-on experience and continuous learning, students are better prepared for future employment.

Strengthening Guidance and Support for Academic Success 

Organized tea gatherings and club activities to explain indigenous resources and rights; provided counseling sessions to address individual needs; offered tailored certification courses in tribal language, English, and computer skills; and created on-campus work opportunities to holistically support learning and growth.

Promoting Indigenous Education for Rooted Competence 

Hosted training in indigenous music and dance, lectures on contemporary and traditional issues, lawn concerts, and Indigenous Week activities. Faculty and students were encouraged to join, fostering cultural promotion, interschool exchange, and skill development.

Guiding Career Development and Workplace Readiness 

In 2024, organized “Pulima Creative Workshop” tribal workplace visits and “Paloma Sower” career lectures to enhance innovation skills. Students also practiced micro-entrepreneurship through campus stalls, promoting indigenous products and DIY experiences while gaining hands-on business insights.
