Awarded Winner of the "2018 Corporate Social Responsibility Pilot Program - Winter Action"
I was honored to receive the prestigious "2018 Corporate Social Responsibility Pilot Program - Winter Action" award, an initiative co-sponsored by the CTCI Education Foundation (CTCI EF) and Taiwan's Center for Corporate Sustainability (CCS).

The program’s structure combined a rigorous training workshop, where we explored CSR theoretical frameworks and analyzed real-world corporate practices, with an intensive group project. Each team was challenged to devise innovative CSR proposals for selected companies, drawing on a blend of academic insights and practical skills. Collaboration across cultures was key; we integrated ideas and expertise from various backgrounds to develop proposals that demonstrated both creativity and sustainability impact.
Winning this award was not only a significant achievement but also an inspiring experience. Our team’s work was recognized for its forward-thinking approach to corporate social responsibility, and we were awarded the esteemed "Zhongding CSR Scholarship" in recognition of our contribution.
