Taiwanese university VP inspires CatSU graduates: “Think independently, be passionate”

Traveling from Taiwan to the ‘Happy Island’ of Catanduanes, Dr. Chao Ming Fu, Vice President of Fu Guang University in Yilan County, delivered his commencement speech on the first day of Catanduanes State University (CatSU) 53rd Commencement Exercises, June 27.

Dr. Chao told the 731 graduates to ‘think independently, not be constrained by conventional authority’.

He also urged the students to ‘be passionate and maintain consistency on their professional path’ in order to achieve success and overcome challenges.

Drawing inspiration from his expertise as a physicist, Dr. Chao included in his speech a lecture about Science and Physics with relation to the commencement theme ‘Exemplifying Professionalism and Versatility in an Era of Connectivity: A Challenge to the Graduates.’

He considered professionalism and versatility as a pathway to excellence by embracing, adapting, and nurturing change and making innovative discoveries.

Introduced by CatSU President Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza, the keynote speaker, holds a Ph.D. from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium and is a professor of Physics at National Taiwan University.

On the first day, the university president conferred degrees to the Cluster A graduates from the College of Business and Accountancy, College of Education, and Graduate School.
