National Chung Cheng University

National Chung Cheng University (CCU) was founded on July 1, 1989, under its first president, Lin Ching-chiang, at a time when Taiwan's government sought to expand access to national higher education outside the traditional northern hubs. Its name — Chung Cheng — is the courtesy name of Chiang Kai-shek. Built on a large campus in Minsyong Township, CCU has grown into a comprehensive research university with seven colleges: Liberal Arts, Science, Social Sciences, Engineering, Management, Law, and Education. Alongside neighboring National Chiayi University's Minsyong campus, CCU has helped shape Minsyong into a genuine university town, with student housing, shops, and transit built up around the two campuses over more than three decades.

國立中正大學創立於民國78年（1989年）7月1日，首任校長為林清江。校名「中正」取自蔣中正的字號。學校座落於民雄鄉一片廣闊的校地，逐步發展為擁有文學院、理學院、社會科學院、工學院、管理學院、法學院、教育學院等七大學院的綜合型研究大學。中正大學與鄰近的國立嘉義大學民雄校區，共同形塑了民雄鄉「大學城」的地方風貌，三十餘年來帶動了學生住宅、商店與交通建設的發展。
