Professor Jolan Hsieh（Bavaragh Dagalomai謝若蘭）, Director of the Center for International Indigenous Affairs at the National Dong Hwa University（NDHU）in Taiwan, was recently invited to Kaunas, Lithuania to participate in the international conference "Resilient Memories in East Asia: Remembrance, Acknowledgment, Reconciliation", organized by the Asia Studies Center of Vytautas Magnus University（VMU）. As an invited keynote speaker, Professor Hsieh delivered a talk titled "Weaving Resilient Futures: Indigenous and Gendered Memories in Taiwan's Quest for National Identity and Reconciliation", contributing to deeper historical, cultural, and humanistic connection between Taiwan and Lithuania.

On September 26, 2025, a photo widely shared across social media caught the attention of the entire National Dong Hwa University（NDHU）community. In the picture, a foreign man wearing a wrist brace on his left hand, holding a shovel in one hand and a bag of relief supplies in the other, was walking intently into the flood-damaged areas in Guangfu, Hualien. Through reposts on Instagram and Threads, students at NDHU were surprised to recognize that the man in the photo was none other than Mr. Jason Grenier, a long-serving Canadian instructor at the university's Language Center.
