The then Interim President Ching-Ray Chang (張慶瑞) and many honorable guests were invited to attend the event. As in the previous 30 years, it is expected that NTU SPECS will continue to play an important part in advancing society in the next three decades.

In the "NTU SPECS 30" ceremony, the guests broke the big balloons to release the numerous small ones inside. The rising small balloons symbolized all our students’ dreams, which NTU SPECS will join hands in fulfilling to achieve the common goals of success and excellence.
