      休閒事業管理系3月8日晚間，邀請高齡90歲的前世界休閒組織(World Leisure Organization)理事陳景星教授，於進修部「文化休閒資源應用」課程中，為同學專題演講，分享他的人生經驗與成功祕訣。歷屆系主任也慕名前往耹聽，2個小時的精彩演講，分享其從台北師範大學教職，繼而舉家前往紐西蘭發展的機緣，進而成為國際休閒領域泰斗的人生歷程，席間陳教授也傳授成功金句，鼓勵學生學習。

      陳教授與夫人一同現身教室，夫妻倆身體硬朗，演講時中氣十足。陳教授海內外教學51年，在1970年遠赴紐西蘭任教，擔任紐西蘭Dunedin教育學院體育學系系主任及紐西蘭全國體操學校校長多年，在1993年回台任教。曾榮獲國際體健休總會傑出學者獎、紐西蘭教育學院傑出教學最高職位獎、紐西蘭全國體健休學會傑出教學貢獻獎、紐西蘭全國心臟協會傑出服務獎、中國文化大學教學特優教師獎等。

      陳教授在大學時期就對體操情有獨鍾，雖沒有得獎功績，仍積極求進、自我要求在體操領域精進。他是台灣首位考取國際體操總會(International Federation of Gymnastics, FIG)國際體操裁判證照的第一人，曾擔任1964年東京奧運及1968年墨西哥奧運我國體操代表隊教練。陸續當過紐西蘭全國體操協會會長、國際體健休總會大洋洲秘書長及副會長、亞洲運動科學學會國際顧問，及世界休閒協會理事。

      演講中陳教授分享如何尋找自己的使命、培養自己堅毅、堅忍、持續的心智，並拓展自己的國際視野等成功秘訣。演講結束後同學踴躍提問，像是台灣學生最需要學習的能力、如何適應世代差異等問題。陳教授親切回應指出，台灣學生最需要練習提問的能力。如何問出好問題，就是很重要的學習；陳教授強調，每個世代都是相同的，成功秘訣也普世皆同，就是「找到自己的使命，持續地以忠誠、可靠、負責、厚道的心往前走」，就是成功之道。
      陳景星教授與休閒系的淵源極深，曾在前系主任范育成的邀請下，參加「2008年服務創新國際研討會」，累積15年的情誼，期間每年從紐西蘭回台灣，都會應邀前來為休閒系師生演講。陳教授一生致力於教育，不吝傳承人生經歷，用正向的語言與精神，啟發後輩、感動每一位接觸的師生。(圖文提供/休閒系)
