Message from the Program Director
"To swim freely in the ocean of technology, you need not only a clever mind but also a down-to-earth learning attitude, a spirit unafraid of hardship, and persistent perseverance. Rather than standing by the water envying fish, it is better to retreat and weave a net. May you summon courage, start from now, weave nets under the sky of ideals, and swim in the ocean of knowledge. I believe you will surely become dedicated computer professionals, gaining both virtue and knowledge, returning with full rewards."
