Students are oriented toward industry demands, benefitting from specialized facilities for semiconductor component processing and packaging testing laboratories. Lunghwa is committed to becoming the best in Taiwan and, ultimately, the premier university for cultivating practical talents in the field of electronic industry in Asia.

Ms. Chia-Ling Hou, Director of the Youth Affairs Bureau of Taoyuan City, expressed gratitude on behalf of Mayor Shan-Zheng Zhang, acknowledging Lunghwa University’s collaborative efforts with the city government in advancing technical and vocational education, youth entrepreneurship guidance, and employment support. The goal is to provide young students in Taoyuan with diverse development opportunities, and through official-school cooperation, expand entrepreneurial capacity and increase job opportunities for students.

During the celebratory speech, Chairman Tao-Heng Sun thanked the founders, Mr. Fa-Min Sun and Ms. Shu-Chuan Chen Sun, for their dedication to combining industry with education. He highlighted the contributions of past presidents and administrative teams, crediting them for laying a solid foundation for the university’s stable development. With over 100,000 alums contributing to Taiwan’s industrial and commercial development, Chairman Sun, on behalf of the board, extended his deep appreciation for long-term support from alums who provide scholarships and assistance for underprivileged students.

Pledging full support for the university’s administration, he emphasized sustainable operation, the pursuit of excellence and innovation, and the commitment to creating a brighter future for Lunghwa University, instilling pride and honor in its alums.

This semester, the university has reached a record high of 2,030 international students. The university’s emphasis on cultivating practical talents has gained recognition internationally, with countries such as Thailand, India, Vietnam, and Malaysia expressing interest in collaboration.

President Ko also inspired the Lunghwa faculty and students to position the university as a vital base for cultivating influential talents in Asia’s electronic industry. The College of Management aims to concentrate on ESG sustainable development and carbon reduction, developing unique features with its departments.
