History of National Cheng Kung University \nNorth American Alumni Foundation, Inc. (NCKUNAAFI)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


The Foundation was established in 1996 in Washington, D.C. by the joint efforts of dedicated NCKU alumni of North America. (The Foundation was established in 1996 by three alumni, H.N. Wu, N.N. Ko, and L.J. Kim, and was initiated in 1994 by alumnus Mouying Fu.) Its purpose is to:

1. To promote the welfare and friendship of the members, to publicize their achievements, and to assist them in social and cultural activities.
2. To support our alma mater to promote major projects, to cultivate and recruit outstanding faculty, to set up various scholarships, and to improve the ranking of NCKU, etc.
3. Organize fund-raising activities and academic seminars to promote professional, scientific and cultural exchanges among members.
4. To help alumni who are in need of assistance to improve their financial situation, including the provision of interest-free loans, etc.

The Foundation has a Board of Directors that meets regularly to make decisions on important matters. A team of volunteers, including the Chairman, President, Secretary, and Treasurer, serve on the day-to-day affairs of the Foundation. The staff meets regularly to discuss business development. Since its establishment, the Foundation has recognized several outstanding alumni and alumni who have worked quietly, hosted many academic seminars, published regular newsletters and annual magazines, co-organized the North American Cheng Kung University Biennial Conference, supported alumni activities, developed and maintained the Foundation's website, set up a charitable fund to donate to alumni in need of assistance, and transferred scholarships, etc.\n\nTranslated with www.DeepL.com\/Translator (free version)
