Jason Ho. Ph.D. MBA 

Assistant Professor & Digital Media Producer

About
I’m Jason Ho — an educator, communicator, and connector of opportunities.

Over the past decade, I’ve worn multiple hats: assistant professor, international affairs director, creative mentor, and recruitment strategist. My journey began with a passion for storytelling and digital media, which later evolved into teaching, academic leadership, and building bridges across borders. At Hungkuang University, I led Southeast Asia recruitment initiatives, expanded global partnerships, and helped shape student-centered, interdisciplinary programs that combined business, design, and emerging tech like AI.

What I bring to the table is more than just experience — it’s a mindset. I understand both the big picture of institutional goals and the human side of student aspirations. I know how to translate vision into strategy, and strategy into action. Whether it’s co-developing international programs, advising on student recruitment, or designing courses that actually engage, I believe in practical innovation and long-term impact.

If you’re looking for someone who speaks the language of education, creativity, and international collaboration — I’d love to connect.
