These awards are in recognition of Nanhua University as a quality institution for higher education and academic excellence. 
 
President Tsong-Ming Lin expressed his sincere gratitude to the National Central Library for hosting the event and for supporting institutions that make their academic resources available to the public. In the 27 years since the founding of the University, Nanhua University has always been a true supporter of open access for all. All theses and dissertations from the University are accessible through the National Central Library. We also encourage all students to make their thesis or dissertation openly accessible to the public. In total, of the 8,420 theses and dissertations from Nanhua University, the full text of 6,217 publications (74%) are readily available to the public. This is significantly greater than the national average of 49% available in the National Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations in Taiwan. With regard to digital full text download rates, in 2022 each thesis or dissertation from the University was downloaded on average 11.92 times, which puts Nanhua University in 1^st Place among all private universities in Taiwan. In fact, this download rate is higher than those attained by public universities, as well as public and private technological and vocational colleges, ranking Nanhua University the highest among all tertiary institutions in Taiwan.
