The trends and strategies of municipal administration change rapidly over time, and to better understand that, faculty members and students of the Department of Public Policy and Management visited the Kaohsiung City Government. During the visit, Chi-Mai Chen, the Mayor of Kaohsiung, showed up and encouraged students to develop specialties in interdisciplinary fields, especially in AI and big data, to cater to the need for smart city development.

Faculty members and students of the Department of Public Policy and Management gave Mayor Chen (middle in the front row) a birthday surprise.
