Toko University is an ideal place to learn new skills and to develop one’s mind. Dr. Anthony Si-An Chen and Dr. A-Tsai Chen, the two co-founders of Toko University, see the spike of rice as the symbol of education and learning at our University where students receive quality training and education in taking part of the nation’s construction and growth. “The taller the rice plant grows, the lower it bends,” is the metaphor of being humble and modest in learning and pursuit of excellency. The spirit of growing rice captures the spirit of Toko University.
