President Lu said that the performance of STUST has been recognized by the Ministry of Education, business communities and parents, so that after graduation, the graduates have enough strength to face and welcome the diversified international competition and carry out a brilliant, rich life. In recent years, STUST has attached great importance to upgrading of hardware and software facilities to create a high-quality living and learning environment. It is hoped that students can study seriously at the university and apply what they have learned to overseas residence or stay in Taiwan after graduation. Now due to the severe international pandemic, some students cannot return to their hometown for the New Year. President Lu hopes that everyone can plan for his or her holidays while avoiding from traveling as much as possible and complying with the pandemic prevention requirements to protect themselves and others.
