Greetings NCCU international students!
The NCCU International Association (IA) is pleased to invite you to attend the first ever Student Speaker Series on October 29th from 6:30-7:30pm in Meeting Room 2 on the 7th Floor of the Administration Building.
The NCCU IA Student Speaker Series aims to showcase the research, work, and interests of some of the fascinating and talented international students on NCCU campus.
We are honored to welcome Piotr Kurczewski (古正浩), who will share on the topic "Why I am much happier as a vegetarian".
Piotr Kurczewski is a third-year PhD student with the International Doctoral Program in Asia-Pacific Studies (IDAS) at NCCU. He comes from Poland and has been living in Taiwan since 2012.
In June Piotr wrote a petition to the NCCU President asking the school authorities to launch a vegetarian buffet on NCCU campus. The petition has been already signed by over 260 people (about 200 of them being NCCU students).
As a result of this green initiative, the school plans to open the buffet in November 2014. Piotr also started a NCCU Goes Green website promoting green lifestyle on NCCU campus.

After a brief presentation, we will open the floor for Q&A and relaxed discussion, while enjoying an excellent (vegetarian) dinner together.
Come curious and open-minded and enjoy a relaxed evening interacting with your fellow students, Taiwanese and international alike!
