Nanhua University 27th Anniversary Celebrations Upholding Venerable Master Hsing-Yun’s Vision for Sustainable Development
On March 13, Nanhua University celebrated its 27th anniversary. The ceremony opened with the ‘18th National Junior Drumming Competition’. In memory of Venerable Master Hsing-Yun, the documentary films: ‘Venerable Master Hsing-Yun and Nanhua University – A Commemoration’ and the ‘Propagation of Buddhist Teachings at Nanhua’ were broadcasted during the anniversary celebrations. Nanhua University is forever deeply indebted to Venerable Master Hsing-Yun, for without the ‘Million-member Fundraising Campaign’, there would be no Nanhua University today. This year’s anniversary ceremony was solemn and deeply moving, filled with gratitude and respect in remembrance of Venerable Master Hsing-Yun.
 
The Chairperson of the board of directors, Venerable Tzu-Hui attended the anniversary ceremony together with the representative of the board of trustee, Venerable Chue-Yu. Mr. Guo-Liang Yeh, who is a representative from Chiayi City, various principals from schools in central and southern Taiwan, industry representatives, alumni, as well as other distinguished guests were present at the ceremony.
 
Several awards were given to recipients at the anniversary ceremony, these included: the ‘10th Outstanding Alumni Award’, the ‘Academic Research Contribution Award’, the ‘Faculty of the Year Award’, the ‘Academia-industry Collaboration Faculty of the Year Award’, as well as awards for students that came in the top three places in national competitions. Awards were also bestowed to faculty members that have served at the University for 25, 20 and 15 years. In addition, President Tsong-Ming Lin presented the ‘2022 Special Honors Award’ to Venerable Tzu-Hui for her tireless efforts and contributions to Nanhua University. The fact that Nanhua University has been able to thrive at a time where there is a low birthrate crisis is because of the dedication and determination of our founder Venerable Master Hsing-Yun, Venerable Tzu-Hui, Fo Guang Shan, and all benefactors of the ‘Million-member Fundraising Campaign’ from around the world. The unwavering support given to the University has been an incredible blessing and has provided the light toward continued sustainable development of Nanhua. The University will no doubt continue to cultivate talent for society and ensure that education is accessible to all.
