President Chien Tai said that since August 1996, when he took the post of president, it has been 10 years and 3 months. He was grateful to the full authority and support of Late Chairman Gao, Chairman Chang and all the directors and supervisors. He made STUST able to receive as much grant as NT$ 1.3 billion from the Ministry of Education and take lead of privately-owned universities of science and technology. In response to financial problems, he adopted multi-layout strategy, such as starting derivatives, running Tainan Cultural and Creative Industrial Park, and the Incubation Center of Ministry of Economic Affairs Southern. Without the efforts of all the faculties and staffers, all these achievements would not have been there today. He said he was indebted to everyone.
