The Bachelor's Program in Sports Industry and Culture at National Chengchi University (NCCU) held its inaugural commencement ceremony on the afternoon of May 29, marking a historic milestone for the program. Numerous faculty members attended the celebration, including Sun Bing-Hong, Lin Chia-Ho, Yen Ya-Ting, Chi Hai-Lun, Huang Chien-Lun, and Hou Shuo. More than a graduation ceremony, the event celebrated the official debut of the first generation of NCCU SportXmen, featuring creative ceremonial activities, interactive challenges, and a warm reception that left graduates with unforgettable memories of their university years.
The ceremony opened with welcoming remarks by Program Director Lü Chieh-Ju, who drew inspiration from the popular anime Solo Leveling. She encouraged graduates to pursue personal growth and continuously "level up" while never losing sight of the importance of teamwork. Even the strongest protagonist, she noted, relies on the support of others when facing challenges. She also reminded graduates that whenever they need to recharge while taking on new challenges after graduation, the Sports Program will always remain a safe haven where they can "brew their magic potions." Each graduate was then presented with a commemorative badge engraved with their name on the back, symbolizing their identity as proud members of the NCCU SportXmen community.
Before receiving the commemorative badge, however, graduates first had to complete a special challenge. As the ceremony's "final boss stage," each graduate was invited onstage to complete a three-ball juggling challenge using both hands within 30 seconds. The lively activity showcased the practical skills they had developed through the program's sports training courses. Afterward, faculty members presented every graduate with a personalized AI-generated award certificate featuring titles such as the "Core Team Leadership Award" and the "Warmhearted Self-Breakthrough Award." Based on comments collected from instructors and synthesized through AI, each certificate humorously and accurately highlighted the unique strengths and personalities of every graduate.
During the graduate speech, student representative Chang Chi-Cheng from the Department of English shared how the Sports Program had opened the door for him to explore the field of sports. Through courses ranging from sports law and sports broadcasting and public relations to sports science, he gained interdisciplinary knowledge that greatly broadened his horizons. He also expressed heartfelt gratitude to his talented classmates and encouraged everyone to carry their expertise and passion into their future careers.
Representing the current students, Liao Yung-Chieh from the Department of Japanese reflected on the program's remarkable growth since its establishment. He recalled memorable experiences, including organizing mock press conferences, participating in exchanges with National Taiwan University's sports program, running booths during the Baozhong Tea Festival, and assisting with NCCU's anniversary sports meet. Quoting a favorite saying of Professor Sun Bing-Hong—"When opportunity comes, say yes first!"—he encouraged graduates to embrace every opportunity with courage and confidence.
The ceremony concluded with words of encouragement from faculty members, who expressed their hope that graduates would embody the spirit of the program's "S" logo by serving as bridges that connect people and resources while proactively offering practical solutions in their future careers. The event ended with a group photo in which faculty and graduates formed the symbolic "C" for NCCU and "S" for the Sports Program with their hands, followed by a cheerful tea reception that brought the inaugural commencement ceremony to a memorable close.
