Tamkang University encompasses diverse and affluent academic and cultural resources, especially the works of our faculty and students. These are wonderful records and intimate connections of Tamkang. The Publishing Center hopes to well preserve them in books for more people to enjoy and improve the cohesion of Tamkangians. Hung-Chung Hsueh, Dean of the Office of Research and Development, shared this vision. Publishing Center of the Office of Research and Development held new book exhibition at Chueh Sheng Memorial Library from October 11th to 21st, to launch the new books published in 2022. The theme this year is “Sleepless in Academics and Romance: New Book Exhibition of Publishing Center, Tamkang University”.
