Established in July 2020, Arts & Crafts & Sports Center is a secondtier academic unit under the university’s administrative structure. It is responsible for delivering university‐wide courses in sports education, arts education, and craft education, organizing campuswide cultural and sports activities, and coordinating participation in provincial and national competitions, exhibitions, and performances. The Center is organized into several subdivisions, including the Office, Teaching Division, Mass Activities Division, Competition Division, Sports Assessment Division, and Faculty Development Division, along with three curriculum groups: Sports Education, Arts Education, and Crafts Education. As of October 2025, the Center has 36 faculty and staff, including 30 fulltime teachers: 23 in Sports Education and 7 in Arts Education; craft Education is supported by 28 part-time instructors and 4 agricultural mentors.
