On a professional level, Tchen hails from a family of artists and is herself a pianist. As an administrator, she has worked as director of the Institute of Arts at National Taiwan Normal University, and is currently the chairperson of the Snowy Egret Foundation for Culture and Education. In view of her long track record of dedication to cultural development, society has great expectations for her.
然而，以陳郁秀的專業領域來看，出身藝術世家的她，本身是鋼琴家，行政上，擔任過師大藝術學院院長，目前也是白鷺鷥文教基金會的理事長，對文化發展長期投入，外界因而對她的期待也特別多。
