Creative parade by departments and administrative divisions
The champion of the campus cheerleading competition, the team of the Business Administration Department, gave an excellent performance and won people’s hearts by combining Chinese imperial and palatial imagery with contemporary dance costumes. They used homemade props, conducting the dramatic cheerleading with a theme as “the sky changes, the ground shakes, the emperor of the business dynasty arises.” Also, students from the affiliated elementary school and postgraduates in the art-performing program led the audience to sing the anthem and the school song respectively. What really caught everyone’s eyes was the dance by children from the affiliated kindergarten.

New facilities for the Tunghai Dairy Store
Tunghai Dairy, the top 1 campus delicacy on the internet, successfully moved to its new home today. The Women’s Association which manages the store was established 60 years ago, accepting the offer from the intern farm to start the fresh milk business 30 years ago. Ten years later, they hung the signboard “Tunghai Dairy Retail Sales” outside their store. Eleven years ago, the name was changed to Tunghai Dairy Store. Owing to the great effort made by successive presidents, they made a profit and finally allocated 10 million dollars towards the financing of a new Women’s Association building 4 years ago. Such act was to help the community and people on campus so that they can share the resources easily. The relocation of the warehouse would definitely impress the people and the visitors in a different way. On December 16th, there will be a church ceremony for both the newly-opened Women’s Association building and the 60th anniversary memorial publication. All are welcome to join the event and embrace the grace of god together.
