In pursuit of the University Social Responsibility (USR) and the revitalization and integration of urban and rural regions, the Extension Education Center partnered with the Hukou Township Office to advance the Sustainable Urban-Rural Development Project. On the morning of August 14th, President Liu, Kuo-Wei and Township Mayor Wu, Shujun signed the "Cooperative Intent Memorandum for Overall Planning and Sustainable Development in Hukou Township" on behalf of both parties.

Mayor Wu stated that the township office and Minghsin University of Science and Technology (MUST) are jointly moving towards a cross-generational emerging learning city through initiatives in youth entrepreneurship incubation and lifelong learning promotion. Following the signing of the memorandum, various policy plans of Hukou Township will be integrated, infused with the spirit of sustainable development.
President Liu pointed out that as Minghsin has been nurturing education in the local area for 57 years, with its diverse, professional, and abundant academic resources, it is capable of constructing a comprehensive support system. The university has a responsibility and a mission to connect with local government cooperation and development plans. Through collaboration with government agencies, the university aims to deepen its commitment to social responsibility, empower and practice regional sustainable development, drive industrial innovation, foster cultural growth, regional revitalization, and activate local spaces.

President Liu also expressed gratitude for Mayor Wu and the administrative team's support. Responding to Mayor Wu's expectations, Minghsin will become a partner in Hukou's local development, implementing the USR by providing professional services, giving back to the community, and constructing shared values for mutual benefit, thereby promoting a sustainable vision.
