| A Thankful Mind Taen-Yu Dai |
It was a shock mixed with some embarrassment when I was notified to be a recipient of the 2005 Outstanding Alumni award. Nevertheless, I accept this great honor humbly. It is my sincere gratitude to the whole NCKU community, in particular, to the Executive Committee of NCKU Alumni Association, New York Chapter. The four years I spent in Tainan is probably the best time of my life. I led a carefree existence; I worked hard and played hard. I recall vividly how everything on campus was wonderful and memorable. Now these memories seem so close, yet they are so far. Over the years, I observed many NCKU alumni’s personalities, and I truly believe that the University herself has some intrinsic quality that can shape every one of her graduates into a high caliber human being. Eventually we, the alumni, blessed with this high quality, become the backbone of our society. I am mainly in debt to the University who molded me into who I am: a down to earth individual who believes a solid basic training will do a lot of good to himself (herself) and to the whole society. I am proud to be a member of NCKU family. After finishing graduate study, I started to teach at York College (a senior branch of the City University of New York) in 1970. During the early 1970’s, York changed its mission from “providing a liberal arts education to young elites” to “being an urban college serving students of all background”. Also, the demographics changed to a majority of low income and minority students. This shift in the student body’s makeup has resulted in a new set of social issues as well as a new language barrier. An example is that many students attend York College full time, also work full time and raise family simultaneously. (This reality was unthinkable during our generation). It took a long time for me to understand these complex and dynamic issues. After understanding these issues, I made a commitment unwaveringly in educating these students to achieve their academic goals and to better integrate into US main stream. Now, many of my students have received PhD’s, become medical doctors, high school principals; it is a life that I enjoy and I will not give it up for anything else. The best thing ever happened to my life was to marry May-Loo Tseng, another wonderful graduate of NCKU, who has supported me unconditionally and enthusiastically in the past forty years. She continues to do so everyday. We have a pair of children Tino and Melody who give us an immense pleasure. Looking back, God has really blessed me. I could not ask anything more for my life, and I am truly thankful.
