本校工學院國際工程碩士學位學程（IMPE）與理學院材料與生物科技暨科教國際碩士學位學程（IMPS），日前分別舉辦畢業典禮，典禮中畢業生回顧在陌生國度攻讀學位的艱辛，百感交集，並對這人生的特別篇章表達由衷感謝，不僅因為這是對自身成就的肯定，更因為一路上在他們最需要支持的時刻，有人伸出援手─包括系上師長、國際處團隊與家人。這是兩個國際學程創立以來的首屆畢業典禮，為本校推動國際教育豎立重要里程碑，別具意義。

工學院賴永齡院長在IMPE典禮致詞時感謝李漢文國際長協助引進優秀境外學子入學，並祝福畢業生未來都能在臺灣找到理想工作，大展宏圖。李國際長則表示，此畢業典禮不僅是學生們在人生中的重要時刻，亦是彰化師大的重要里程碑，感謝賴院長的全力支持，讓國際學程得以順利運作與發展。

李國際長強調，IMPE致力培育高科技產業所需的工程人才，尤其臺灣企業對國際人才需求殷切，他期許在國際處的強力支持與積極輔導下，畢業生能留臺發展，持續貢獻所學。

集學業優良獎、服務奉獻獎與斐陶斐榮譽於一身的印尼籍學生Alfredo Yosia Sakul在典禮中代表IMPE畢業生致詞。他回憶初抵臺灣時努力適應全然陌生的語言、環境與學術體系，戒慎恐懼，擔心學習跟不上別人的腳步；然而師長們親切地鼓勵、無私地教誨與不時地鞭策，以及國際處團隊創造一個讓境外生感到受歡迎、被關懷和被理解的空間，加上家人默默的支持與祈禱，讓他獲得學習的自信。他說，取得學位，「不單是我們自身的成就，更來自於在我們最需要的時刻所獲得的每一份關懷。」

來自土耳其的Muhammed Enes Mermer形容這是一段成長的旅程，不同國籍背景的同學走出舒適圈，每一次面對文化、語言與知識上的挑戰，都激發出好奇心，不斷推動他們前行。他回首此一歷程，映入腦海的不只是課堂與實驗室，還有那些早起、熬夜以及不斷修正研究的時光─這一切都發生在一個原本陌生、卻很快變得像第二個家的國度。今日畢業生們除了擁有文憑，更培養了提出好問題、挑戰自己的假設，以及批判性思維的能力。

理學院IMPS畢業典禮穿插師生高歌的橋段，在莊重溫馨中不失歡樂氛圍；與會師長包括黃啟炎院長、林泱蔚教授兼教務長、周睿鈺教授及黃瑞賢教授等。黃院長致詞時透露，部分學生在畢業前已覓得工作職位；他並歡迎畢業生們常回母校，也期許他們鼓勵親友申請IMPS，延續國際交流精神。

IMPS學業優良獎頒給Ani Satun Zahro，服務奉獻獎則由Nelly Fitri Tampubolon獲得，二人均為印尼籍。Nelly Fitri Tampubolon致謝詞時表示，這天不只是學習旅程的終點，更是新夢想、新責任與新冒險的開始。她回憶初來乍到，人生地不熟，但師長與同窗很快成了她在臺灣的家人，是她在最低潮、最艱難和最快樂的時刻所依靠的港灣，因此滿懷感恩。

兩場畢業典禮見證本校在推動高等教育國際化上的努力，典禮中學弟妹們均為首屆的畢業生感到驕傲，學長姐們是他們的榜樣與希望，讓他們相信，只要努力不懈，在臺灣如期完成碩士學位並非遙不可及；他們亦盼學長姐們保持與學校的連結，返校分享經驗，繼續為國際學程的傳承貢獻心力。（國際處）

National Changhua University of Education (NCUE) recently celebrated a major milestone in its international education efforts with the first commencement ceremonies for its International Master’s Programs in Engineering (IMPE) under the College of Engineering and in Materials and Biological Technology and Science Education (IMPS) under the College of Science. These inaugural graduations marked not only the successful development of the programs but also NCUE’s continued commitment to cultivating global talent.

During the ceremonies, graduates reflected on the challenges of studying in a foreign country and expressed heartfelt gratitude—not only for their academic accomplishments but also for the unwavering support they received from faculty, the International Office (OICA), and their families during their most difficult moments.

At the IMPE ceremony, College of Engineering Dean Yung-Ling Lai thanked OICA Dean Hon-Man Lee for his pivotal role in bringing outstanding international students to NCUE and wished the graduates great success in pursuing careers in Taiwan. Dean Lee remarked that the event was not only a meaningful milestone for the students but also for NCUE as an institution, and he expressed appreciation for Dean Lai’s consistent support that made the program’s growth possible.

Dean Lee emphasized that IMPE is dedicated to developing the engineering talent needed in Taiwan’s high-tech industries, especially in light of the growing demand for international professionals. He encouraged the graduates to remain in Taiwan and continue contributing their expertise, supported by the resources and guidance provided by OICA.

Representing the graduating class, Indonesian student Alfredo Yosia Sakul—recipient of the Academic Excellence Award, Service Contribution Award, and Phi Tau Phi Honor—delivered a moving speech. He recounted his early struggles adapting to a new language, culture, and academic system, admitting he once feared he might fall behind. However, thanks to the kind encouragement and dedicated teaching of professors, the welcoming and supportive environment created by OICA, and the quiet support of his family, he gained the confidence to persevere. “It wasn’t because of our achievements alone, but because in the moments we needed support the most, we received it,” he said.

Another IMPE graduate, Muhammed Enes Mermer from Türkiye, described the experience as a transformative journey. Students from diverse backgrounds stepped outside their comfort zones, meeting cultural, linguistic, and academic challenges with curiosity and determination. Looking back, he said what he remembers most are not just the lectures or lab work, but the early mornings, late nights, and countless revisions—all in a country that once felt unfamiliar but soon became a second home. He noted that beyond earning a degree, graduates also developed the skills to ask meaningful questions, challenge assumptions, and think critically.

At the IMPS graduation ceremony, teachers and students took turns singing, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere amid the otherwise solemn occasion. College of Science Dean Chi-Yen Huang was joined by Professors Yang-Wei Lin, who also serves as Dean of Academic Affairs; Professor Jui-Yu Chou; and Professor Jui-Hsien Huang. Dean Huang praised the graduates not only for their academic accomplishments but also for embracing Taiwan’s culture, and noted that some had already secured employment locally. He welcomed them to stay in touch and invited their friends and families to consider joining the IMPS program to continue the spirit of international exchange.

The IMPS Academic Excellence Award was presented to Ani Satun Zahro, and the Service Contribution Award to Nelly Fitri Tampubolon, both from Indonesia. In her speech, Nelly shared that the day marked not the end, but the beginning of new dreams, responsibilities, and adventures. She recalled the uncertainty she felt upon arrival, but said that the professors and schoolmates she met quickly became like family—her source of support through the lowest, most difficult, and happiest moments—for which she was deeply grateful.

These two commencement ceremonies stand as a testament to NCUE’s commitment to advancing the internationalization of higher education. Current students expressed pride in the first graduating class, describing them as role models and a source of inspiration. They believe that with persistence, completing a master’s degree in Taiwan on time is an attainable goal. They also hope the graduates will remain connected to NCUE—returning to share their experiences and continue contributing to the legacy and growth of the international programs.
