Board Chair Masato Murasaki's visit to CNU

After the visit of Dean Yoshiyasu Fukuyama of Tokushima Bunri University (TBU) in August, here was another visit of TBU's Board Chair Masato Murasaki with his other delegates on October 18, 2011: Professor Tateo Goto (Head of Office of Admissions), Professor Osamu Doi (Head of International Office), and Professor Kojun Setsu (Pharmaceutical faculty). The MOU between TBU and CNU was endorsed at TBU early this year in February 2011. So the visit of Board Chair Murasaki himself to CNU sends a strong message of the strengthening of bilateral relationship between both the parties.

During the reception meeting, the issues of future exchange discussed include short- and long-term visit of students, transferable course credits, Chinese course offering and joint research projects. As Board Chair Murasaki pointed out in the meeting, both the parties did not only sign a pieces of paper, but also we need to go further and deeper for the real and solid collaboration. In responding to this, I am sure there will be fruitful achievements in the near future because of bilateral efforts made by students and faculty of both sides.

Following the meeting, there're campus tour through Herbal Research Center, Taiwan Hot Spring Research Center, and Health Promotion Center. Due to his great personal affinity and humorous talk, we all had wonderful time touring around our campus.

The visit of Board Chair Murasaki and his accompanying delegates was concluded by the CNU-hosted dinner banquet and a brief historic tour of Chi-Kan Lou (赤崁樓).
