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.

Mr. Ben Matthews(Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Pūkenga, Ngāti Porou), Senior Policy Analyst in the Policy and Trade Branch of the Ministry for Primary Industries(MPI), Aotearoa New Zealand, recently was invited to deliver a special lecture at National Dong Hwa University(NDHU).
