Flower fragrance is overflowing on TKU campus, and the beautiful blossoms of azaleas are waving their welcomes to the TKU alumni. TKU Founder Clement C.P. Chang and the President Flora C.I. Chang are welcoming and entertaining TKU alumni at the “2009 Spring Festival” organized by the Office of Alumni Service and Resources Development at the Student Activity Center on the coming Saturday (March 14) at 10:00 am.
