On the 30th, Pukyong National University participated in the ‘Thanks To Challenge’ campaign, delivering messages of gratitude and support to medical staff working hard to overcome COVID-19.

The Pukyong National University LINC+ Project Group held the campaign in the afternoon at Dragon Valley on Yongdang Campus, jointly with the Pukyong National University Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, Industry-Academic Cooperation Complex Development Project Group, Startup Support Group, and Dragon Valley Support Center.

The Pukyong National University faculty and staff participating in the ‘Thanks To Challenge’ campaign performed the sign language gesture meaning ‘respect,’ which involves holding a fist with the thumb extended, supported by the palm.

The Pukyong National University LINC+ Project Group joined the campaign upon recommendation from Chosun University LINC+ Project Group, and then passed the relay baton by recommending the Korea Women Entrepreneurs Association Busan Branch, Korea Women Venture Association Busan-Gyeongnam Branch, and Busan Premium Seafood Association as the next participants.

Seo Yong-cheol, head of the Pukyong National University LINC+ Project Group, said, “Through this campaign, we express our respect and gratitude to all medical staff who are continuing the difficult fight to end COVID-19,” adding, “Pukyong National University will also participate in efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 so that the efforts of medical staff are not in vain, and will contribute to overcoming the crisis through industry-academic cooperation.”

The ‘Thanks To Challenge’ is a social media (SNS) campaign initiated by the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters to encourage medical staff dedicated to preventing the spread of COVID-19 and treating patients.
