The plum blossoms defying the snow have a stronger fragrance; mutual assistance and hard work bring abundant rewards. The College of Food Science has established a channel for communication and mutual assistance among students of different grades through the "Senior Care Program". This not only inspires senior students to continue to carry forward the spirit of hard work as senior students, but also further helps freshmen, under the meticulous care of senior students, to stimulate their enthusiasm for learning and enhance their sense of striving. In the future, the Food College will continue to uphold the concept of "financial aid for education", carry forward the spirit of "passing on, helping and guiding", cultivate more outstanding food professionals, and contribute youthful strength to the development of society.
