The Phi Tau Phi Scholastic Honor Society of the Republic of China aims to promote academic activities, encourage academic research, reward scholastic achievement, and eventually contribute to the prosperity of the society. On May 12, 2016, the Tunghai branch held its welcome ceremony for the newly joined members who received a membership certificate. In total, there are 91 new honor members from Tunghai, of which 39 are in the undergratuate programs, 43 in the Master’s programs, 8 in Doctoral programs and 1 alumnus.
Founded by Joseph H. Ehlers, the name of the Phi Tau Phi Scholastic Honor Society originates from the three Greek words: Philisophia, Technologia, and Physiologia, which represents three academic fields respectively. The organization aims to encourage academic achievements and promote scholastic knowledge, eventually contributing in the improvement of the society. Tunghai University serves as one of its branches. Every year, each branch of the organization names academically outstanding graduates and alumni who accomplish great contribution to scholastic researches or social engagements. These elected students and scholars are then given membership certificates to encourage and recognize their exceptional values. The Tunghai alumnus, Yu-Yeh Lin, who received this honor this year is the 19th graduated class of the Department of Industrial Engineering and Enterprise Information.
Tunghai President Mao-Jiun Wang hosted the ceremony as the president of the Phi Tau Phi Tunghai branch. He introduced the establishment of the Phi Tau Phi Scholastic Honor Society, re-iterated its core values, and welcomed the new honor members. Alumnus Yu-Yeh Lin represented all new members to share his personal experiences and achievements to all participants. He encouraged the younger generation to learn and grow together for the purpose of contributing to the society.
