Tunghai University-News--Freshmen orientation with visits to professors’ homes
Tunghai University is an academic organization focusing on comprehensive education and liberal arts. In the early days, all the faculties and students lived on campus, creating an intimate relationship among teachers and students. Tunghai encourages students to explore interdisciplinarily, apply skills and knowledge in daily life, and learn from collective living. This year, University Way invited professors and faculties of the university to host students at their homes. By visiting and interacting with the households, students experienced firsthand the characteristics of Tunghai University. A total of thirty faculty members “homed” 72 rounds of freshmen gatherings.
Among the hosting families, Tunghai President Mao-Jiun Wang opened up the President’s Residence to host freshmen. According to President Wang, with the founding spirit of pioneering, Tunghai aims to pursue truth, strengthen faith, value practices, and thrive for innovation. During his school years as a student at Tunghai, President Wang personally often visited professors at their homes, establishing a family-like bond with the teachers. Besides learning in the classrooms, he also learned from collective living, extracurricular activities, and especially daily conversations with his teachers. The experience has generated lifelong impact on him. As a result, ever since he assumed Tungahi presidency in February, he has been keenly promoting the idea of “Friendly Campus” in hope of bonding teachers, students, and alumni more closely. President Wang hopes to create a campus environment full of love and comfort for the freshmen students to learn and grow.
Lin, one of the freshmen who visited a professor’s home, expressed his excitement to participate in the program. As he addressed, being able to visit a teacher’s home and chat with one upon arrival to a new school was an “extremely cool experience!” Now that he knew the professors were actually really kind and amiable, he became a lot less worried and nervous about the new environment. He hoped that he would start fresh and create his own university life and values.
The Night of Hope of the orientation program lit up the rainbow under which God and Men established eternal promises after the Noah’s Ark flood. With the hums and songs of the bell, Tunghai freshmen stepped into the Luce Chapel with rainbow luminance one by one, walking into their new adventures named “university.”
