University life extends far beyond the classroom. Student clubs serve as vital platforms for developing communication, teamwork, leadership, and hands-on problem-solving skills. To welcome new students, Yuan Ze University held its annual Clubs Expo on September 9 and 10, bringing together nearly 50 student organizations at the campus plaza. Covering a wide range of interests, including music, dance, sports, board games, photography, service learning, community engagement, and professional development, the clubs employed creative recruitment strategies through interactive booths, experiential activities, and live performances. The event enabled freshmen to explore new interests while experiencing the diverse, self-directed, and dynamic culture of student organizations at the university.
With support from the Ministry of Education’s Higher Education Sprout Project, Yuan Ze University promoted the Happy Learning Camp initiative, in which students independently planned and carried out diverse service activities. Ranging from academic tutoring to community outreach, the program continuously responded to the needs of different groups through concrete action. Recently, student teams visited a homeless service station, rural tutoring sites, and a long-term care center. Through hands-on experiences in different settings, students gained a deeper understanding of the value of service and witnessed the changes and meaning brought about by companionship.
