早上九點的天空不甚明朗，零星滴落的雨倒數著交換生的到來，工作人員駐守在管院與多功能生活廳各角落，深怕錯過任何身影。九點半前，陸續早到了獨自前來的學生，教室內守候的工作人員也開始動身。九點半後，蜂擁而至的交換生們大批大批前來，臉上掩不住的笑意，超越雨滴和泥濘的束縛，準備迎向與台大管院第一次的會面。

陳家麟副院長熟練地開場，說明台大管院的豐富學習資源，包含學術與實務並進的資深教授群，富有互動性的課程安排，並以資料顯示台大管院的卓越表現，讓交換生們相信來到台大管院進行學習與生活，將會是他們不後悔的決定。

緊接著由台大管院迎新的工作人員接棒介紹，首先以圖文簡述台大與台大管院的豐厚歷史，如何順應社會變遷做出組織調整。第二部分詳述台大的課程學習，複雜的選課與加簽方式、攸關成績的諸多規定，經過解說後，看交換生們從皺眉的困惑逐漸舒展，並在最後收整的趣味問答中踴躍參與，相信ceiba與myntu兩個必備網站已烙印他們腦海。學習之外，工作人員更慷慨分享校內外美食地圖，讓交換生務必把握寶島上重要的美食資產，並掌握馳騁校園與周邊環境的腳踏車方式。

緊湊的說明，交換生們尋找喘息的空間。貼心的國際事務處準備好鳳梨酥，供學生們在聊天休憩的同時，開啟在台灣品嚐的第一道甜。

下半場由兼具幽默與嚴肅的住宿組開啟跨文化的尊重與交流，重複交代著交換生們宿舍吸菸、訪客、設施等規定，另外也提醒考試期間夜點發放及野柳一日遊的消息。ICL人員及早來到教室，透過影片回味過往交換生至偏鄉服務的點滴，透過與當地孩童相處與教學，彼此的眼神皆散發難以言喻的溫暖光芒。感動散播至近百人的台下，授權碼發放的時候，許多人順勢熱烈加入服務的行列。

經過兩個小時的資訊洗禮，交換生們來到他們最初抵達的地方留下合影。雨仍就細細綿綿地下著，然而期待的眼神、收穫豐富的笑容皆化為鏡頭前永恆的一瞬。祝福這樣燦爛的笑顏帶你們超越台北的雨季，在台灣與台大持續綻放！

The sky in the early morning was gray. Rain dropped as it counted down the coming of 90 exchange students. Staff of CoM stood around, being afraid of losing any lost ones. Before 9:30, some early birds arrived on their own and staff inside the classroom started to move. After 9:30, exchange students came in large groups and seemed never ended. Far away from the dorm to College of Management, exchange students overcame rainy days and prepared their first meeting with such big smiles.

The orientation started with Vice President of College of Management—Chialin Chen‘s opening. Professor Chen illustrated plenty of resources such as interactive courses and senior professors with both academic knowledge and practical experiences. Besides, he showed how NTU CoM achieved outstanding performance with several awards and certificates, emphasizing that exchange in NTU would be their best choice ever.

After the formal introduction by Professor Chen, local students enthusiastically presented several topics. First, the history of NTU and CoM were introduced through pictures and brief illustrations, hoping exchange students understand how NTU adjusts its organization with changes of the society more easily. In the second part, the most complicated topic towards course selection and grading, were clearly explained in details. Seeing exchange students turn from confusion to bright faces and actively engaging in the QA sessions, we believed that the two most important websites, ceiba and myntu already were stuck to their minds. Asides from academic learning, daily life information was also the top issue. Thus, local students generously shared lists and maps of the delicious food, hoping exchange students can seize the opportunity to taste as much as they can!

It’s plausible that students would like to seek rests after intensive presentations. During break time, Cola kindly prepared pineapple cakes for exchange students to have their first taste of this famous dessert. Hope the sweetness marked their good start in Taiwan!

When the break ended, staff from the dormitory started introducing regulations on cigarettes, guest visits, and facilities in both humorous and serious tones. The main goal of repeating those regulations was not only hoping exchange students to carefully obey them but also wanting students to respect cultural differences. For ICL session, the program was introduced through videos. By watching what exchange students in the past actually contributed to children living in remote countries and hearing what they had learned through sincere interactions with children, everyone felt touched. There was no doubt that many exchange students decided to join after the video ended.

After receiving plenty of information within two hours, exchange students went back to where they first stepped in. It’s still raining. However, all the expectations glittering in their eyes turned into the eternal smiles in front of the camera. All the best to keep all of your brilliant smiles to overcome the rainy days in Taipei and always stay bright in Taiwan & NTU!
