Strengthening the assistance mechanism for disadvantaged students, increasing scholarships and grants to help underprivileged students pursue their education. Focusing on the academic development of disadvantaged students, we enhance comprehensive support from enrollment to graduation, integrating internal and external resources to build a robust support system for students facing difficulties. We provide multi-faceted assistance, including personalized admission support, living stipends, professional counseling, skills training, and employment guidance, to offset learning disadvantages, improve academic performance, and achieve educational equity.
A sustainable fund has been established for the counseling mechanism for students with economic disadvantages, planning the "Wings to Soar, Dreams to Shine Scholarship Fundraising" platform for sustainable operations:

1. The Center for Environmental Protection and Safety and Health, guided by the principle of "caring for all faculty, staff, and students, and prioritizing health," focuses on improvement. Through the Ministry of Education's "Health Promotion School Program—Aerobic Yoga for Healthy Weight" (11 sessions), it created a supportive health environment for the entire school community and local residents. It fostered self-management of health among faculty and students, enhanced health awareness, prevented diseases, and organized eight events, including "Exercise Loves Taiwan—Aerobic Exercise" and "2021 Employee Workplace Health Promotion (4 sessions)," and a Happy Campus Series environmental education training event.
2. The Military Training Office and the Health Services Division actively promote campus safety and monitor students' dietary habits. The Military Training Office held three health seminars on tobacco, drugs, and AIDS prevention, while the Health Services Division held eight events, including healthy eating seminars and vegetarian days.
3. The Higher Education Sprout Project, Objective 4 (Fulfilling Social Responsibility): The initiative, "Intergenerational Co-creation and Companionship for Local Well-being," involved students applying their knowledge and integrating companionship models to promote exchanges between different generations, fostering a friendly society. In 2021, 40 events were held with 1,377 participants. In 2018, a "Smart Healthcare Collaboration Memorandum of Understanding for Social Responsibility" was signed with St. Joseph's Hospital, allowing student services to improve the local healthcare system.
4. Development and Promotion of Medical Assistance Devices: In 2018, in collaboration with the Yunlin Branch of National Taiwan University Hospital, a "HelpingHand™ Peritoneal Dialysis Dual-Bag System Connector Assistive Device" was developed, which won the 15th National Innovation Award [1.0]. In 2019, in collaboration with Tzu Chi Hospital, the center focused on smart healthcare and assisted in improving healthcare services through technologies such as information integration, big data analysis, and image recognition.

All faculty, staff, and students of our university should have an awareness of executing preventive work, bearing the responsibility and obligation to prevent hazards and losses. This is to ensure the safety of life and property and to cooperate with policies to thoroughly implement the goals.

The admission plan includes "disadvantaged care." In 2021, based on the "Wings to Soar Cultivation Program," subsidies were provided to financially disadvantaged students in the day-division four-year, two-year, and five-year programs. A total of 458 students received subsidies in 2021. The total number of financially disadvantaged day-division students was 1,082, with the subsidized rate for these students being 42.3% (458/1082 = 42.3%).

Implementing 'talent rooting and field sustainability,' we will consolidate the curriculum continuity across colleges, departments, and units. With 'cultural sustainability' as the practical goal, we will advance four key themes: 'mobile aesthetics,' 'green ecology,' 'industry decline,' and 'community care,' to shape inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable cities and villages. Furthermore, we will carry out care and practices from the social, environmental, and economic aspects of military dependents' village culture, puppetry, folk arts, and new resident cultures. The execution strategy will be 'deep local cross-domain practice: the preservation, promotion, and innovation of local culture.

The Organic Collective Cultivation Zone, managed and promoted by the Agricultural Research and Extension Center, serves as a crucial component in reducing and moving towards negative carbon emissions. In 2021, with a subsidy from the Council of Agriculture's Agriculture and Food Agency, a buffer green belt was established around the zone. This initiative aims to increase green cover while mitigating the risk of pollution from adjacent fields and ensuring the quality of the zone's organic produce. The project includes planting 36,103 trees and shrubs around the cultivation area. Since each tree can absorb up to 12 kg of CO2 annually, the completed green belt is expected to reduce carbon emissions by approximately 433,236 kg per year.

Department of Biotechnology teacher Peilun Jiang uses the "Marine Biotechnology" course to cultivate marine biotechnology talent, combining it with two university-funded research projects:

Located in the center of Yunlin County, the agricultural and green energy hub, the new campus is near the Yunlin High-Speed Rail station. It has transitioned from a passive implementer of government policies and regulations to a proactive driver of new educational content focused on energy efficiency, environmental protection, and safety. In addition to proactively cultivating students' environmental awareness and promoting whole-person education through environmental general knowledge, it also drives industrial development in the Changhua-Yunlin-Chiayi region and fulfills its local social responsibility.
The Center for General Education is planning an environmental education program, offering general education courses such as Energy and Environment, Ecology and Environmental Protection, Introduction to Environmental Science, and Environmental Ethics. This will gradually build a complete environmental literacy and deepen the thinking on local sustainable development based on sound environmental resources.
For campus planting, native species, indigenous species, or plants adapted to the local climate will be used as much as possible. Approachable fences will be used instead of enclosed walls. The campus's green hedge planning will be integrated with the surrounding community's landscape and feature multi-layered greenery. Additionally, a wide lawn will be created in front of the third and fourth academic buildings, and the space under the coconut tree avenue will also be utilized.

Student Autonomy: To implement the concept of student autonomy and cultivate democratic, rule-of-law literacy, and self-governance skills, students of this university may, through specific procedures, form student self-governance organizations to handle student affairs. They may also nominate representatives to attend school-level meetings related to student rights.
Meet the President: The university president hosts the event, which is attended by the heads of various administrative and academic units. The university addresses and resolves issues raised by students regarding academics, campus infrastructure (such as dormitories and sports facilities), and student affairs (including club activities, etc.).
Gender Equity Education Committee: Upholding campus safety and establishing a comprehensive mechanism for preventing and handling sexual assault or sexual harassment.

The number of sister schools we have signed agreements with has been increasing year by year; we currently have signed cooperation agreements/memoranda with 80 universities abroad.
