The National Yunlin University of Science and Technology Office of International Affairs hosted an International Faculty Afternoon Tea Gathering on December 19, 2025. The event brought together international faculty members in a relaxed and welcoming setting, providing an opportunity for open exchange and strengthening connections among participants.

Coffee, tea, and a selection of refined refreshments were prepared at the venue, allowing faculty members to enjoy a pleasant afternoon while engaging in informal conversations. Through this casual gathering format, the event fostered cross-cultural dialogue and enabled international faculty to experience the Office of International Affairs’ care and support beyond routine administrative interactions.

During the event, 葉惠菁, Director of International Affairs, personally outlined the proposed future directions for revisions to international student scholarship policies. Members from each division of the Office of International Affairs also introduced their respective responsibilities, helping international faculty better understand the appropriate administrative contacts for various matters and thereby enhancing future communication efficiency and service effectiveness.

Throughout the exchange, Mohammad Hossein Nadimi Shahraki expressed particular appreciation for the Office of International Affairs’ dedication to supporting international faculty. He highly praised the overall planning of this event as well as multiple activities organized throughout the semester, noting the thoughtful atmosphere, well-organized arrangements, and carefully prepared refreshments.
