- NTU Orientation Camp
NTU began organizing First-Year Orientation Camp in the 2008 academic year. The camp helps new students become acquainted with the campus environment and shares learning and living experiences on campus. The camp will be organized as a series of activities in the 2023 academic year, including VR puzzle solving, student club market, student music festival, and special topic lectures, covering course selection guide, green campus, gender friendly, and student club resources.
- Student Club Advisors
NTU has nearly 500 student clubs, including autonomy, academic, recreational, social, general, arts and culture, service, and physical fitness clubs, all energetic clubs with their own features. Student clubs are a very important informal learning course to college students. To guide the healthy development of student clubs and realize the philosophy of holistic education, according to regulations, the dean of each college serves as the advisor of the college-level student association, the director of each department/institute serves as the advisor of the department/institute-level student association, and each student club shall ask a full-time or project-based teacher at NTU to serve as their advisor; student club advisors are reported to and appointed by the president. Student club advisors are unpaid positions. Academic programs have listed experience as a student club advisor as an evaluation item for excellent faculty members.
NTU had a total of 342 student club advisors in academic year 2023. The duties of student club advisors include advising operations of the student club, attending related meetings, assisting in handling special issues and major incidents during club activities, and assessing a score for the student club based on interactions. Student clubs may only apply for registration of basic information, organize student club activities, borrow venues, activity subsidies, open a Post Office account, or change the account name after obtaining approval from their advisor.
The Office of Student Affairs periodically organizes “Student Club Advisor Forums” to help student club advisors. Besides summarizing student work and student club guidance, the office listens and responds to the thoughts and recommendations of student club advisors for managing student clubs, allowing administrative units to maintain close contact with teachers and allowing teachers to share their experience and improve their relationships.
- The number of service learning courses offered and students taking the courses decreased in recent years due to the impact of COVID-19. A total of 603 service learning courses (including departmental and non-departmental) were offered in 2022, and a total of 9,321 students took the courses. TA training, volunteer basic and special training were also organized. Furthermore, NTU specially planned subsidies for professional and rural area service courses and the cross-field partner project to encourage students to form partnerships with the field they provided services in, encouraging students to utilize their expertise to provide services to rural areas. NTU also organizes “Service Learning and Social Service Team Results Presentations” for students to become responsible, self-disciplined, willing to serve others, and work together to help each other. NTU’s domestic service team mainly provides social services, nature conservation services, and tutoring services, or alumni associations return to their hometown to organize camps on various topics in daily life; service areas are mainly offshore islands and mountain areas; international volunteer services were also provided in the past: “World Volunteer Society” traveled to Nepal to provide services, “Service-Learning In Northern Thailand” provided services in Northern Thailand, and the Medical Campus provided medical services in Ladakh, India.
