<p>Graduate Institute of Performing Arts (GIPA) Associate Professor Jerry Hsia (夏學理) vowed to make a change while he took oath of his new position as the head of the Office of University Relations (OUR) today.</p>
<p>"I will need everybody’s help to promote the positive image of the school,” Hsia said.</p>
<p>Hsia has become a major contributing faculty member for GIPA ever since his joining the institute in 2005. GIPA Director Susan Lin (林淑真) hated to see him switch gears but described him an “important foundation” for GIPA.</p>
<p>"We had to let him (Hsia) go since the president talked to us and hoped that Prof. Hsia would help him do something more important,” Lin said. “But, we still hope that he (Hsia) will return to our institute and continue to help us as soon as possible.”</p>
<p>Hsia said that he had been involved in media-related industry for 26 years and another seven years of administrative work on the campus, which made him a competitive candidate for the position as the head of OUR.</p>
<p>President Gou Yih-shun (郭義雄) said he hoped that Hsia would take the lead of OUR to promote the school positively a lot more, so more people would also learn more about the campus.</p>
<p>To begin with his new responsibilities, Hsia encouraged his fellow OUR staff members to update the public what is happening on the campus every day, with optimistic, professional attitude toward work. Hsia said that he will begin from himself.</p>
<p>"I will start it with me to make a change,” Hsia said.</p>
