Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, some international students are temporarily barred from entering Taiwan, and they therefore cannot study or attend their graduation ceremony. To cheer them up, ISU also held a small-scale graduation ceremony in Hong Kong in addition to a university-level one in Taiwan, and this was the first overseas graduation ceremony ISU has ever held since its inauguration.

The small-scale graduation ceremony in Hong Kong was organized by (from left) Secretary Mei-Chun Chen of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Hong Kong, Counselor Hsiang-Ping Ma of the Ministry of Education at the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Hong Kong, Director Hao-Jan Pan of ISU Alumni Association (Hong Kong), and President Wei-Hsiung Chen of ISU Alumni Association (Hong Kong) (second from right).
