A total of nine outstanding overseas Chinese students from the second, third, and fourth years received awards, including the Book Award, Academic Excellence Award, and Outstanding Academic Achievement Award. Their achievements demonstrate the remarkable resilience of students in the Industry–Academia Collaboration Program in balancing practical internships with academic studies and research.
The Department of Information Management presented certificates and prizes to recognize students with outstanding academic performance.

All of the award recipients achieved an outstanding average score of above 87 points, with more than half scoring over 92 points, highlighting the intense level of competition. Among them, third-year student Lee Shui-Hsiang delivered the most impressive performance, earning the class Book Award with an outstanding overall average of 93.63 points, ranking first among all award recipients in the department.

Professor Tseng Sheng-Yuan, Director of the Department of Information Management, stated that students in the Industry–Academia Collaboration Program are required to undertake industry–academia internships at companies on a regular basis and can only return to campus for classes during their limited available time. Their ability to achieve such outstanding average scores demonstrates the strong learning atmosphere within the class, as well as positive interaction and healthy competition among peers. The department hopes that recognizing students with the Book Award will encourage more students in the Industry–Academia Collaboration Program to continue developing their expertise in their respective professional fields. These outstanding overseas Chinese students not only excel academically during their studies but will also graduate with solid practical experience in information management and a strong work ethic, becoming highly competitive international talent in industries across the Asia-Pacific region.
