IMBA學程主任蔡政憲(Professor Jason Tsai)教授於開場致詞中鼓勵所有同學,不論是國際生或本地生,都應該把握在IMBA學程的機會,敞開心胸體驗一切,例如國際生可以積極尋找在台灣的實習或兼職工作,一窺台灣企業的工作氛圍和文化,而本地生則可以善用學程提供的資源,申請國際姊妹校交換或者雙聯學位,除了學術技能之外,在IMBA的社群內,建立跨國人脈也是很重要且不可或缺的一環。緊接著IMBA行政團隊介紹了和同學們日常課業息息相關的一切所需,盼充分的資訊揭露可以緩解同學們的緊張和不安,也相信強大且可靠的行政團隊們,將成為日後學習的後盾。
外籍生代表則為2023年入學來自哥倫比亞的程麗梅(Johana Cuellar),她透過參與「Study in Taiwan」比賽的短片,分享了自己的台灣經驗。在台灣這個全新的環境中感受不同的文化衝擊,同時還要在學業壓力中保持身心健康,對她而言是一趟自我發現與成長之旅,她同時還申請了視覺內容創作的國際實習,除了因此更了解台灣的職場文化和工作習慣,更累積獨一無二的作品集和人脈,最後,她以十三世紀波斯詩人魯米的一句話總結:「昨天的我很聰明,所以我想改變世界。今天的我充滿智慧,所以我正在改變自己。」
On Sunday, September 1st, 2024, the International Master of Business Administration (IMBA) Program held an engaging orientation ceremony to welcome its new students. The event took place on the sixth floor of the College of Commerce Building and was led by two moderators who created an uplifting and informative atmosphere for the afternoon.
The orientation began with an inspiring welcome speech by Professor Jason Tsai, the Director of the IMBA Program. In his address, he emphasized the significant role that the IMBA program plays in students’ academic journeys, describing it as a pivotal step in their formal education. He encouraged students to take advantage of this unique opportunity, especially those from international backgrounds, emphasizing the opportunity costs involved. He also urged local students to explore the exchange program or dual degree options and advised international students to pursue internship or part-time job opportunities. The Director highlighted the importance of networking within the IMBA community and encouraged students to connect with alumni from their home countries.
Following Director Tsai’s address, the students gathered on stage for a group photo, marking the start of their shared journey and the friendships that would form during their studies.
The orientation then shifted to an administrative session led by the IMBA Administration Office. The office representatives provided essential information about the program’s structure, resources and opportunities. They detailed the IMBA course layout, concentration options, policies, and facilities creating an informative atmosphere for the journey ahead.
The orientation truly came alive during the sessions where current students and alumni shared their experiences, providing valuable insights for the newcomers embarking on their IMBA journey. Roxanne Hu, a current student from the 2021 batch, offered her unique perspective as a local student. Her advice was to communicate openly with professors, classmates, and loved ones; to set and reach specific goals; and to develop a routine to manage time effectively. She also emphasized the importance of prioritizing well-being, especially during overwhelming times, and pointed out the program’s flexibility, which allowed her to study abroad in France during her second year after completing the required first-year courses.
Johana Cuellar from Colombia, a member of the 2023 batch, enthusiastically shared her experiences, showcasing her short film from the Study in Taiwan competition. She emphasized the significance of cultural adaptation, the journey of self-discovery in a new environment, and preserving mental health amidst academic rigors. She also shared her international internship as a visual content creator, offering three key insights: understanding Taiwanese work culture, building a robust portfolio, and fostering valuable professional relationships. She concluded with an inspiring quote from Rumi: “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
The alumni perspective was brought to life by Francisco Lopez from Honduras and Taro Tseng from Taiwan. Francisco discussed the challenges and rewards of the IMBA experience. He encouraged students to welcome feedback, take responsibility for their choices, and engage actively in the IMBA community. He further urged students to have faith in themselves, to communicate openly, and to practice self-compassion when things do not go according to plan.
Taro shared her insights as a local alumnus, emphasizing the need to remain focused on personal goals despite academic pressures. She encouraged students to enjoy the program and to maintain a balance between their studies and personal relationships. Drawing from her dual-degree experience in France, Taro underscored the importance of appreciating diverse perspectives and the personal growth that derives from interacting with individuals from various cultural backgrounds.
Dicky Irawan, the President of the IMBA Student Council, took the opportunity to introduce the council members, shared information about open positions, and urged new students to get involved. Additionally, he spoke on behalf of the IMBA Oath Club, which advocates for ethical leadership, and invited students to play a role in the club.
The final club presentation was delivered by the co-captains of the IMBA Dragon Boat Team, Anthony Santoso from Indonesia and Lynn Kao from Taiwan. Lynn shared the significance of the Dragon Boat Festival and the team structure while Anthony highlighted the multifaceted benefits of joining the team. They concluded with a call to action for interested students to join and rewarded the first recruit with a prize.
The formal orientation concluded with a vibrant networking session, allowing new students to forge the connections that would prove essential throughout their IMBA journey. A campus tour followed, familiarizing students with their new academic home.
The IMBA 2024 Orientation left the new students equipped, inspired, and ready to embark on their academic journey at NCCUC. The new students departed, marking the end of a memorable first chapter in what promised to be an enriching and transformative experience for the IMBA batch of 2024.
