     President Chou was joined by Dr. Kit Lam, Dean of the Office of International and Cross-strait Cooperation, on a visit to Global Leadership University in Mongolia (also the Taiwan Education Center in Mongolia), by invitation of the Global Leadership University. This is part of Wenzao’s effort to strengthen recruitment in Mongolia and promote academic exchanges. The visit further strengthens the University’s international ties after the Mongolia-based UBS conducted a special report on Wenzao in March.
 
     Representatives from Wenzao visited Mongolia’s Ministry of Education, Culture and Science to discuss future cooperation. Arranged by the Taipei Trade and Economic Representative Office in Ulaanbaatar, the reps also visited Mongolian State University of Education, Mongolian State University of Agriculture and the National University of Mongolia. During the visit, President Chou was invited to introduce Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages in prominent local media programs, including UBS’s “Tea or Coffee” and the global leadership program.
 
     A special admission and recruitment seminar was held during the visit for future students. Many Mongolian students came to the seminar after obtaining the information on TV. Dr. Kit Lam, Dean of Office of International and Cross-strait Cooperation, met with students in the seminar and the Q&A session. She also provided assistance for students applying for enrollment. Wenzao has already received four completed admission applications. The four Mongolian students are expected to start their undergraduate study in Wenzao this September, with majors ranging from international affairs, English, Japanese and Applied Chinese.
 
     In the future, Wenzao plans to launch new partnership projects in collaboration with the Taiwan Education Center in Mongolia, which include sending two exchange students each semester, opening new service learning programs in hospitals and orphanages, and providing internship courses for summer study tours or short-term cultural camps.
　　
     There has been an increase in the number of Mongolian students who show interest in pursuing higher-education opportunities in Taiwan. Currently, there are over 1,000 Mongolian students in Taiwan, of which 300 are short-term exchange students and 700 are degree-seeking students. In mid-March, a UBS production team visited Wenzao for a special TV report, which was later made into a promotion film and broadcast on its TV channel and website. The film helped to promote Taiwan’s higher education.
