As the year comes to a close, the School of Pharmacy at National Defense Medical University held its Year-End Appreciation Banquet. Looking back on the past year, the flourishing development of our school has relied on the strong support from all sectors. We would like to express our special gratitude to the Medical and Pharmaceutical Industry Technology and Development Center (PITDC) and Johnson Chemical Pharmaceutical Works for their support and industry-academia collaborations. At the same time, we extend our deepest gratitude to our senior faculty members for their selfless guidance, and to our military seniors for their unwavering support.

"We appreciate the warm support from the industry, academia, and the military, which has made the College of Pharmacy what it is today. This is the true essence of our Year-End Appreciation Banquet."

🎓 43 Years of Dedication to Education: 

Another important highlight of this banquet was the retirement farewell for Associate Professor Wen-Liang Chang. Instructor Chang stayed at the school to serve as a teaching assistant starting in 1983, steadily rising to the rank of Associate Professor, and will officially retire upon reaching the mandatory retirement age in February 2026.

Over these 43 years, he has dedicated all his efforts to the School of Pharmacy at the National Defense Medical University. He has long been devoted to research in the field of natural products, always taking a hands-on approach, and has cultivated countless outstanding pharmacy professionals for our country.
