2012/01/01

Our school started as the “National Taipei Medical Vocational High School” in 1947, which gradually developed and restructured to become the National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences on August 1st, 2010. Everybody was jointly devoted to nourishing this place throughout the past over 60 years, and we currently feature three colleges (College of Nursing, College of Healthcare Administration and Management, College of Human Development and Health), five faculties and seven graduate schools. We have become the best school for a large number of students who are interested in learning about nursing and health sciences education.

With the endeavors from former principals including Shen Jung, Lin Shou-Hui and Chung Yu-Lin, we have cultivated countless talents who have excelled in all trades and professions, thereby obtaining a good reputation from all fields as well as deep recognition from society. Under the leadership of the current principal Huang Hsiu-Li, the entire teachers and students continue to strive hard in order to become an outstanding university. Our school has attained first place in the vocational school evaluation, and was a pioneer in establishing the first program for master’s and doctor’s degree, which has attracted foreigners to come and study. We have brilliant results among the vocational education system, which has added glory for alumni.

The alumni association was established in 1958, which used to be a civil association belonging to the Social Affairs Bureau of Taipei City; it was approved to become a national civil association by the Ministry of Interior in December 2008, and was renamed as “Alumni Association for the National Taipei College of Nursing”. After the restructure of our school, it applied to be renamed as “Alumni Association for National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences”. Furthermore, affiliates of the alumni association were established, including the northern, central, southern and eastern regions of Taiwan, as well as Northern California and Southern California in the United States, which connect to form the alumni network, taking the alumni association towards a new milestone.

With the enthusiastic cultivation from the various directors and former president, including Peng Mei-Lan, Chen Ai-Chu, Chen Chen-Yuan, Liu Shu-Chuan, Hsu Man-Ying and Chen Yu-Chih, the number of members has currently reached over 800, with 40 permanent members. The alumni association anticipates to become the emotion and communication window for alumni, and to continue growing steadily.

The main purposes for the alumni association include: organize directors meeting on a regular basis; publish alumni association information and periodicals; organize various seminars; alumni social events (tours); search for alumni; care and serve alumni; seek welfare for alumni; assist the school to organize citations for outstanding alumni, school anniversary celebration and graduation, as well as organize alumni conventions.

Furthermore, in order to appreciate teachers’ doctrine, we have organized to commemorate the deceased principals Hsai Te-Chen and Hsu Ai-Chu during Ching Ming Festival every year, as well as memorial service for principal Chu Pao-Tien, thereby keeping these virtuous ancestors within our hearts.

We cordially invite alumni to come and attend the events organized by the alumni association, to chat and reminisce of their days studying at our school, and share the magnificence of life or the striving experience, thereby developing the school spirit of “Optimism and Happiness; Education and Nurture; Practical Action; Benevolence and Humanity”. Your outstanding performance is the role model for the juniors; the school is proud of you, and we are proud of our brilliant school.
