◎David Hollowell Keren Froslid Jones蒞校指導MSCHE工作
陳光毅／台北．桃園報導
為加速本校通過美國MSCHE國際認證，經由副校長善邦的特別邀請，David Hollowell 及 Karen Froslid Jones 顧問將於4/6抵達台灣，來本校指導MSCHE工作小組有關Self-study Design及Research Questions之撰擬。
由於中西文化差異及認知不同之故，顏副校長及艾麗蓮老師認為目前MSCHE工作小組所擬的Research Questions大部份偏於Descriptive的方式，較缺乏分析性的資料，這不太符合Self-study的需求。希望藉由Hollowell 及Karen顧問的指導，一方面可使Steering Committee Member 能知道我們自己的長處和弱點，另一方面可強化Research Questions更具有分析性及可評估性，如此使銘傳大學通過MSCHE認證，再邁前一大步。

社 論
緬懷包創辦人 宏揚教育精神
我們敬愛的包創辦人，草創維艱，樹立了銘傳教育的風範，就在我們創校五十二週年的前夕，離開了我們。全校師生除了懷念她老人家慈愛的音容外，更追思她創建銘傳的偉大情懷。在這創校五十二週年前夕，讓我們一起攜手，共同為宏揚教育盡一分心力！
民國四十六年，包創辦人一手創建了銘傳商業女子學校，致力於女子教育，培育了無數企業界優秀的祕書人才。當時，士林一代因為「銘傳商專」的聲譽響亮，商家紛紛進駐，使得今日士林夜市一帶，帶動繁榮，成為蜚聲國際的知名夜市，更重要的是，士林人文薈萃、教育普及，包創辦人的功不可沒。
隨著社會的進步，銘傳商專升格為「銘傳管理學院」，招收男生，學生成為企業界工商管理的好助手，包創辦人又再一次成功的將學校轉型，奠定了成立綜合大學的基石。這期間，她老人家仍堅持「忠於黨國」、「為國育才」的決心，為學校延攬第一流的師資，要求學生「尊師重道」、「術德兼修」。她將學生視為自己的子女，嚴管勤教，恩威並施，凡接受她教誨的學生，都可以感受到她愛的教育下，絕不許縱容、溺愛，以至於對她又敬又愛，自我約束。
銘傳有這樣慈愛的長者，是全校師生的福氣。就在銘傳升格為大學之後，包創辦人年事已高，但仍是天天到校，關懷學校。近幾年來，她乘坐輪椅在士林校園的身影，相信同學們經常會看到。本著「教育報國」的職志，這人生美好、光輝的一程，包創辦人已然走過。我們在緬懷她老人家之餘，是否也應該有所效法？
包創辦人一生的心願，就是為校延攬一流的師資，為國育才。當她知道有新進教師時，一定會親自面談。一方面了解老師的專長，另一方面勉勵老師以身作則，教好學生。銘傳的老師們，應當本著「人之兒女，己之兒女」的精神，以疼惜自家子女的心來愛護學生。大學教師的職責是做好教學工作、從事學術研究和社會服務工作，所以我們要在教學上不斷精進，在學術上累積成果，並時時不忘為社會、國家奉獻，能這樣，才算是發揮包創辦人「教育救國」的精神。
包創辦人對銘傳學生的要求是什麼？那就是希望同學們能做到「誠樸敬毅」。待人以誠，生活儉僕，遇事能敬，堅毅耐苦，乃是成為一位君子必備的條件。銘傳的學生，理當以誠敬之心待人處事，培養堅強剛毅的個性，不以浮華奢靡為尚，這才是創辦人心中理想的銘傳人。同學們應當戮力以赴，勤勉向學，期許日後能發揚銘傳精神，成為社會的中堅份子，那麼，包奶奶在天之靈，一定會感到無比欣慰。
銘傳能成為國內私立學校的標竿，不是一朝一夕可以達成的。如果不是包創辦人擘畫藍圖，真心辦學，全校教師秉持「教育無他，愛與榜樣」的精神，加上學生們出社會後，優異的表現，又怎能在國內私立院校中，樹立卓著的聲名呢？社會人士普遍一聽到「銘傳」這兩個字，首先想到的是「銘傳的學生很不錯」；其次，想到的是它是一所很好的私立學校，這是全校師生努力的成果，也是包創辦人為我們樹立了教育的風範，使本校老師能本著「愛的教育」，而學生都能「勤勉向學」的結果。
今天適逢銘傳校慶五十二年，以星期為喻，一年有五十二周，銘傳在包創辦人的守護下，正好走了五十二年。我們除了感念她老人家創立學校的辛勞，還應本著她「教育為先」的職志，繼續努力。教育是百年樹人的工作，不能揠苗助長，也不能見利忘義，而是要一步一腳印，默默耕耘，期待有成。全校師生若能體認新的挑戰已然到來，做好自我整飭的工作，相信一定會有亮麗的成績單，在未來等待著我們，願與大家共勉之！

@MCU 52nd Anniversary- Memory Lane and Celebration
translated by Florrie & Jenet & LeAnn
Ming Chuan University 52nd Anniversary not only merges memories of Founder Pao and celebration, but also combines static and active events. The activities held today (March 28, 2009) will enable all honored guests, faculty and staff members, and students feel the youth and vigor of Ming Chuan. We would also like to appreciate and commemorate what Founder Pao has done for Ming Chuan.
Magnificent, Matchless Chipao Exhibition
Aside from the traditional activities of cocktail party, Alumni Association Meeting, Creative Cheerleading Dance Tournament, sports competitions, Tug-of-War between Taipei and Taoyuan campuses, and Club Carnival and Performance, we also have a Magnificent, Matchless Chipao Exhibition in the atrium of the Ying Chao Memorial Library until 5:00 pm today. The chipaos belonged to Founder Pao and were worn during 1956 to 2008 for important occasions. In addition, nearly 100 representative photos will be exhibited.
According to the curator, those chipaos are the historic epitome of Ming Chuan University for the past 52 years. Through the exhibition, Ming Chuan hopes to convey Founder Pao’s spirit of persistence to the faculty and staff members, and students, and have them experience her 103 years full of history, academia, patriotism and internationalism.
Memorial Gallery Opening
Furthermore, at the Archives Hall on the first floor of the third student dormitory, President Lee will host the opening of the “Founder Pao Memorial Gallery”, where a collection of historic documents and items belonging to Founder Pao will be on display.
Cocktail Party Celebration
At the cocktail party held on the first floor in the gymnasium, outstanding faculty and staff members who have served at Ming Chuan for 40, 30, 20, and 10 years will be awarded prizes, and faculty members will be recognized for 2007-8 Outstanding Teaching and 2008-9 Excellent Academic Research.
Student clubs will perform during the party to make some fun for the faculty members and students. The cocktail party will conclude with the singing of Happy Birthday by all.
Alumni Meet
After the cocktail party, the Alumni Association Meeting will be held at 11:00 am in P102 to stroll down memory lane.
Open House
The Product Innovation Center is also going to hold an opening ceremony in P105 today, and everyone is welcome to view the innovative thinking of MCU faculty members and students. American, Japanese and Chinese Culture Classrooms, the Teaching Hotel of the School of Tourism, the Virtual Studio of the School of Design, and the Central Control Room of the Information and Network Division will all be open to visitors today as a part of the festivities.
Clubs Galore!
The jubilant Clubs Carnival and Performances will be kicked off at the outdoor basketball court from 9:00 am. There are about 50 booths for the carnival and performances presented by the student clubs of Modern Dance, Yan Fong Popular Music Band, Sign Language and Magic.
Creative Cheerleading Dance and Sports Tournament
The Creative Cheerleading Dance Tournament will be held in Second Gymnasium on Chengkung Campus. There are A and B teams; the A team will start the competition at 9:30 am, and the B team will start at 2:00 pm. The high jump, the broad jump, male and female 100, 200 and 400 meters, and the relay race will take place on the athletic field from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Last but best is the Tug-of-War Tournament; this year the International Business Department is going to challenge the Electronic Engineering Department for male teams, and the Counseling and Industrial/Organizational Psychology Department will compete with the Risk Management and Insurance Department for female teams. The Counseling and Industrial/Organizational Psychology Department is striving for the fourth championship in a row this year!
International Academic Symposia
The 2009 International Academic Symposia were held on Taipei, Taoyuan, and Jihe campuses. President Lee and Vice President Yien were on Taoyuan and Taipei campuses, respectively, to open the symposium on 3/13. This year there were 855 papers published and many honored guests participated from abroad, coming from places such as Korea, USA, Japan, Australia, Mongolia, and Mainland China.
Teh Ming Memorial Library Unveiling
In grateful memory of Founder Pao’s uncountable contributions to Ming Chuan University, the library on Taipei campus will be christened as Teh Ming Memorial Library. The library will not only further Founder Pao’s thoughts on education but also her vision for libraries. President Lee, MCU administrators, faculty and staff members will participate in the unveiling ceremony for the new library name on Monday March 30 at 11:30am.
All of the Ming Chuan family are eternally thankful for Dr. Pao’s great sentiment in establishing the school as her dedication to the country as well as her full support to the library.
@MCU Presses Onward in International Education
translated by Janet Chao
According to the Webometrics Rankings of World’s Universities, published by the Spanish National Research Council , MCU was rated 24th in the Asia ranking and 1,002 in the world ranking. Four indicators were used to create ranking: size (number of pages recovered from four engines: Google, Yahoo, Live Search and Exalead), visibility (external inlinks), rich files (pdf, ps, doc, ppt) and scholar (number of papers, reports and other academic items). In 2008, MCU received the best ranking (194) in the scholar indicator, evidence that our faculty’s academic research is gaining worldwide approval. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, Harvard University, University of California Berkeley, and Cornell College were the top five universities in the rankings.
According to the Ministry of Education’s statistics, there was an increase of 1,000 (17,306 to 18,306) foreign students studying in Taiwan for this school year. MCU has 527 foreign students, highest of all universities in Taiwan.
@First Official Visiting Professor from China
translate by Florrie Lin
After President Lee was appointed as a visiting professor at Xiamen University of Technology last year, President of Xiamen University of Technology, Huang, Hong-Wu, led their alumni to visit Ming Chuan University during February 21 to 27, 2009.
Ming Chuan University awarded visiting professor contracts to President Huang, Chair of International Languages Department, and the Chair of Electronic and Electrical Engineering Department.
President Lee remarked that it is really meaningful to award the first visiting professorship in 52 years to scholars from across the strait. These two universities also engaged in more discussion of the reciprocal partnership regarding the education in Kinmen and Xiamen.
President Lee says that Ming Chuan University will be a comprehensive university with students from Taiwan, Mainland and beyond through the alliance with Xiamen University of Technology and the combination of information and resources on Taipei, Toayuan and Kinmen campus after the opening by the government for Mainland students to study in Taiwan.
@Mongolia Global Leadership University visits MCU
translated by Florrie Lin
Mongolia Global Leadership University has sent two exchange students to Ming Chuan University in the second semester of 2008-9. They are studying in the second year of the International Business and Management Program in International College. So, two faculty members from Mongolia Global Leadership University visited Ming Chuan University to view our teaching facilities, and take part in classroom observation.
@MSCHE Consultation Visit
by Kuang-Yi Chen
In order to speed up being awarded approval for MSCHE Accreditation, MSCHE consultants to Ming Chuan. Mr. David Hollowell and Dr. Karen Froslid Jones, will arrive at MCU on the evening of April 6. Their role during this visit is to advise the Overseas Accreditation Steering Committee members on the Self-study Design and Research Questions.
Owing to the culture gap between Eastern and Western thinking, many research questions originally proposed by the six Working Groups were more descriptive and less analytical. The western model for self-study expects more critical self-evaluation than is customary among many here in Taiwan. Through this consultation, Working Groups will be able to identify not just where the strengths and weaknesses of the institution are, but also make their responses more analytical and plans for adjustment more quantifiable. This will assist us in meeting the requirements of the U.S. university accreditation with MSCHE; moreover, the depth of analysis will further improve our institution.
@Application Open for 2009-10 Teacher Ed Program
translated by Janet Chao
Students can apply for the Teacher Ed Program online through the Student Information Network (Student System) before 12:00 noon on 4/6. Though supply for secondary school teachers is greater than demand in recent years, this is a lifetime learning era. Moreover, enterprises need talented people to advance training in their companies. Thus, having an additional professional certification is something you can build up for yourself. Through the years, MCU students who passed the licensure exam, scored above average. We invite you to take the challenge!
@Reading Good Books with the English Reading Enrichment Program
translated by Janet Chao
The English Reading Enrichment Program in Taipei and Taoyuan campuses invites students who are interested in reading English books to join the program. Those who participate will have a priority to borrow from 500 titles of English fiction and have an opportunity to win a gift when more than three books are read. Moreover, the English Language Center will hold two seminars regarding reading enrichment. Please contact the ELC for details.
@MCU Graduate Student Achieves Full Score on TOEIC
translated by Janet Chao
Kristina Karvelyte, from Lithuania, a first-year student of MCU’s Graduate School of Communications Management, received a full score of 990 points on the commercial English proficiency test, TOEIC. She mentioned that besides the efforts she has put on in learning English, she is also grateful of help received from the university and the environment where she must use English in communication.
@New Rewards for Cooperation, Innovation and Competition
translated by Janet Chao
New procedures were implemented to increase academic-industry cooperation outcomes, to enhance students’ employment capacities and to encourage individual faculty members to participate in national competitions.
At the Administrative Council Meeting on February 16, two new procedures were adopted to enhance teaching quality, to strengthen professional cultivation, and to encourage individual faculty members to participate in national competitions. The highest prize is 60,000 NTD. Interested individuals should apply before the end of October every year.
If a faculty member wins a contract with government or private institutions and the amount is above 120,000 NTD, the faculty member can regularly apply for an allowance that is based on five percent of the total amount of the contract. The proposal should be made within two months after school starts each semester.
Students will be able to apply for the innovative works reward if their works have been approved by government or private institutions. Each student can apply only once every semester and rewards of up to 10,000 NTD will be given each time. If students win a competition held by the government, they will be able to receive up to half of the material fees. Applications can be made in March and October every year.

@Remembering Founder Pao – Life of Love
translated by Florrie Lin
Ming Chuan Founder, Dr. Pao passed away at 9:50am on February 1, 2009 at Taipei Veterans General Hospital. The funeral was held on February 21, 2009 in the Sun Yat Sen Auditorium. President Ma, representatives of the government, the KMT and numerous others paid their respects and offered condolences to the family.
The ceremony was solemn, with many current and retired faculty and staff members, students, alumni and friends all paying their homage and respect.
The appreciation in everyone’s hearts for Founder Pao, who embodied the history of Ming Chuan as she passed away at age 103, was evident in each aspect of the ceremony.
On the 52nd birthday of Ming Chuan University, Ms Lu, Ming-Chu, Chairman of the Board of the Alumni Association will donate 1,030,000 NTD to initiate the “Pao, Teh-Ming Memorial Fund.”
As a show of gratitude for the educational cultivation of our founder, Dr. Pao and to spread the conviction of “attending to all students with parental care, support, and guidance,” this fund will be used to provide the living expenses of students at MCU to relieve financial burden. Moreover, recipients are encouraged to participate in community service as a response of gratitude to the donors by serving others.
Chairman of the Alumni Association Taoyuan Branch, Huang, Wan-ju, will hold a Blood Drive on Taoyuan campus. To encourage faculty and staff members, students and alumni to participate in the Blood Drive, the hosts have prepared 500 saplings as tokens.
