【雙年會裡的人文氣息】
本屆北美成大校友雙年會，有個特別的小天地，那就是「校友作者義賣簽書會」。由三位成大校友作者帶著自己的著作，在會場設攤簽書義賣，義賣所得均捐助北美校友會。
三位校友作者分別是：
張一飛，電機52級，英文著作《Presidential Transition and U.S.-China Relations》(總統繼任與中美關係)
許莊，外文50級，英文詩集 《Water Lilies》(睡蓮)
張人杰，奈米所97級，中文散文《從工程的旅程的勇氣》
簽書會的起心動念，源自張一飛教授因個人因素不克前來參加此次雙年會，心繫大會和校友的他，提議將個人甫出版的新書捐助予大會義賣，如此，縱然無法親臨，也能回饋校友會，並藉書與校友們做精神上的交流。
大會的總協調—傅模英學姐得知此事後，欣然號召另外兩位出書校友—著名英文詩人許莊和社群創作者張人杰共襄盛舉，在主辦方的支持下，促成了這場聯合簽書義賣會。參展的書從一飛學長的「國際政局分析」到許莊學姐「優雅雋永的詩集」，再到人杰學弟「熱血勵志的遊記」，呈現多元樣貌，書展一方天地，為大會增添了幾許不同光彩。
只見會中，校友們不時來到義賣區前品讀、與作者對談交誼。許莊學姐給予後輩人杰溫暖的鼓勵與贊美、交流創作心得，兩位相差45歲的作者惺惺相惜。未能出席的張一飛學長書籍亦幾乎售罄，其中兩本，還經由大會捐助，永久收錄於芝加哥Chinatown圖書館館藏中，意義非凡。
本次雙年會，除了展現了成大人的優良傳統和團結精神外，也從這所聞名工商產業界的大學校友裡，飄散出獨特的人文氣息。
