Wang further encouraged the graduates to find their spark in darkness and to step out of the comfort zone. “Take on responsibilities and never stop learning,” said Wang, “I believe that one day you will make your alma mater proud”. 

Paul SL Peng, Chairperson of AU Optronics Corporation and Taipei Tech alumnus with honorary doctorate degree, was invited to give a speech at the ceremony. Peng encouraged the graduates with his own experience and indicated that in order to grow and gain power, one will need to learn from mistakes, and persist. “Great success is the sum of small efforts, and no matter what kind of career paths that you choose, relentless endeavors will ultimately define your success” said Peng. “You are at the starting line of a marathon with limitless possibilities, and I wish you all the best along the way”. 

At the end of the ceremony, the members of the graduate student association performed the self-composed graduation song, “New Chapter After the Last Chapter” (video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnHrzOe1VIk).
