The Center for International Indigenous Affairs (CIIA) at National Dong Hwa University (NDHU), in collaboration with the Micronesian Voyaging Society (MVS), co-organized a cultural and educational exchange program initiated last year. Led by master navigator Sesario Sewralur, the traditional Palauan voyaging canoe Alingano Maisu set sail again this February. After visiting Pingtung, Kaohsiung, and Taidung, the crew arrived in Hualien for a series of engagements integrating Indigenous cultural practices, ocean-based knowledge, and academic dialogue, highlighting trans-Pacific Indigenous knowledge connections.

Professor Taeko Moriyasu from the Office for Global Relations at Nagasaki University, Japan, visited the Department of Finance at National Dong Hwa University on March 4, 2026. During her visit, she shared information about the study environment in Japan, introduced the dual-degree program, and discussed potential future academic exchange plans and collaboration models between the two institutions. National Dong Hwa University and Nagasaki University have maintained a long-term partnership in cultivating outstanding students, which serves as an exemplary model of international cooperation at Dong Hwa University.
