Tamkang has more than 200,000 alumni residing all over the world, contributing in all walks of life with outstanding performance. Hence, Tamkang's alumni are voted the most popular in the business industry for ten consecutive years. In order to present current developments and future visions of the alma mater to alumni, each year Tamkang holds the "Feast of Spring" in March, inviting local and overseas alumni back to Tamkang to revisit the garden campus and its advanced instructional facilities, attend departmental forum, and share with current students their experiences on further education or employment. Therefore, by presenting growths and improvements, Tamkang hopes to receive further support and acknowledgement from alumni. Moreover, with the aims of creating a higher academic reputation and becoming a world-class university, supports, acknowledgement, as well as donations and gifts are all important foundations for Tamkang's future developments. The "2006 Worldwide Tamkang Alumni Cruise Carnival" was held in Los Angeles from September 1 - 4, 2006. This marks the first gathering for all Tamkang alumni worldwide since the establishment of the university. More than 500 alumni participated in this event. The Founder and the President of Tamkang also flew from Taipei to Los Angeles especially for this great meeting. They have agreed to meet with the alumni again in Shanghai for the second meeting in 2008, and back to the alma mater for the third meeting, as well as for Tamkang's 60th anniversary, in 2010.
