碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 創造力發展碩士在職專班 === 107 === Campus co-operatives (co-ops) run by faculty are parts of school days memories. However, campus co-ops have been winded up due to the inconsistency of policy. No more energy supply for students, outsourcing convenience stores take place of the smile of co-op faculty, and the cooperative spirit cultivated by educators is faded. My alma mater, National Tainan Girls’ Senior High School (TNGS), has the everlasting co-op connecting alumni. The faculty devotes to innovate TNGS Co-op and help its members, while the members participate to keep the co-op flourishing. With observation and narratives by participants, I found TNGS Co-op excelled in seven innovative features: administration and management, student activities, member professional development, courses and teaching methods, public relations, school cultures, and services and products. Furthermore, it also owned the DNA of INNOVATE: identity, need, novelty, observation, vital & vigor, assistance, technology, and experiment & execution. By keeping the faith, TNGS Co-op benefited its members, and the members got the sense of belonging from the co-op as well. Education is everywhere. With educators’ love and creativity, a campus co-op can be more than a shop and assist both school activities and lives of members. Students practice the merit of cooperation, so cooperative spirit gets to enter a virtuous cycle. Together is stronger. Hope campus co-ops sustain under the support of appropriate policy and help build a healthy and sustainable society with greater strength.
