元智大學教職員工尾牙活動在1月17日舉辦，辛苦忙碌一年的教職員工，在歲末年終這個時刻一同熱鬧度過，尾牙活動由第28屆福委會主辦，以「元智心視界 躍動e起來」為主題，現場準備表演與抽獎活動，讓教職員共同歡慶。今晚的抽獎大獎，除了有校長與副校長獎兩個大獎之外，更有董事長獎與福委會特別獎，每人各兩萬元的獎項，為教職員同仁年終加賞。
吳志揚校長致詞時，分享了幾項學校未來走向的主軸，首先是創新教學，鼓勵同仁在課程中加入創新的元素，雙語教學不只是在各系設置英語專班，更廣招各國外籍學生。再者是研究發展、產學合作，希冀未來人社院設置前瞻政策研究中心，結合人文社會與管理學院，帶動人才培育。以及和桃園市府合作亞洲矽谷、社區營造等計畫，以及內壢鐵路地下化的部分等，最後希望同仁秉持創新的精神，在未來的變動下能夠立於不敗的位置。
而徐旭東董事長致詞時，先是加碼五千元紅包邀請台下教職員工同仁上台，講出剛才校長所致詞的內容五點。之後，他更準備投影片，用兩句話、四個趨勢來勉勵與分享給教職員工同仁，「靈活機敏、因應變局」兩大主軸是為了在變化快速的環境下競爭，「都市化、科技化、高齡化、全球化」則是要在這樣的未來趨勢中力爭上游。期勉大家能在這個瞬息萬變的大時代下靈活自如，也讓元智能夠不斷往前，創造高峰。
尾牙在一系列精采的活動中渡過，第28屆福委會的傾力付出讓活動圓滿落幕。同仁們齊聚一堂，感恩今年的努力，同時也為下個學年度的打拼作準備，讓元智大學一年比一年更好。
