Building upon the Institute of Information Management's (IIM) established strengths over the past thirty years in the semiconductor, finance, and information technology sectors, combined with the professional knowledge cultivation and warm mentorship of our faculty, numerous graduates have become the backbone of Taiwan's information industry, academia, and research fields. Driven by the anticipation of many alumni, the Alumni Association was officially launched in 2026. Serving as a bridge between alumni and the Institute, the association aims to foster connections and friendships among graduates, enrich members' career and social lives, and facilitate alumni in contributing their experience and financial support to the development of the Institute and the learning of its students.

The missions and operational activities of the Association include:

 

In 2024, the Director of the Institute, Professor Lin, Bertrand M.T., proposed that since the Chiao Tung University (NCTU) IIM had been established for 35 years, younger alumni were progressively making their mark in society while early graduates were entering a fulfilling stage of life; hence, there was an increasing need for mutual support and networking among alumni. Concurrently, alumni could provide feedback and support for current students and institutional development through a coordinated association. Consequently, the Alumni Association Preparatory Committee was officially initiated during the Alumni Homecoming Event on Campus Anniversary Day. Demonstrating the characteristically warm and enthusiastic nature of the Institute, several graduates voluntarily joined the preparatory committee.

Subsequently, in addition to offline group discussions, the preparatory committee met face-to-face at the Institute's office every two to three months for brainstorming sessions and progress tracking. In 2025, the committee officially obtained permission from the university to use the names "National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Institute of Information Management Alumni Association" and "NYCU IIM Alumni Association." During the 2025 Alumni Homecoming Event, the official establishment of the Alumni Association was announced, and an initiation gift—a commemorative wooden measuring cup ("Mu Sheng") engraved with the Chiao Tung University IIM Alumni Association membership number—was presented to the joining alumni.

Special thanks are extended to Professor Lo, Chi-Chun for donating NT$100,000 during the initial period when funding was scarce, as well as to preparatory committee members Lin, Zhi-Yin; Fu, Li-Dian; Chen, Shu-Huei; Liao, Hsiu-Yu; and Nie, Zhong-Liang for each advancing NT$20,000 as the preparatory fund, enabling the smooth launch of the association's activities.

As experience-sharing sessions between alumni and current students, alongside networking events, had successfully gotten on track, the Alumni Association Preparatory Committee officially dissolved on the day of the 2026 Alumni Homecoming Event. The committee members transitioned into volunteers for the IIM Alumni Association. Ms. Liao, Hsiu-Yu (Class of 1997) was nominated and successfully elected as the first President of the Alumni Association, receiving votes from over half of the attending alumni. Furthermore, in accordance with the association's bylaws and with the consent of the current Director, Chen, Po-An, Ms. Chen, Shu-Huei was appointed as the Secretary-General of the Alumni Association.
