The Department of Advertising and Public Relations at Dongmyung University (President Jeong Hong-seop) (Department Head Lee Jeong-gi) recently celebrated a double blessing.

Professors Gu Ja-hwi and Han Eun-jung from this department both received Excellence Awards at the 4th ‘Dongmyung Industry-Academia Awards’ ceremony held on February 24. With these two ‘masters’ still active in the department, the students are also shining.

The Dongmyung Industry-Academia Awards are given to faculty members and businesspeople who have contributed to university development through organic industry-academia cooperation.

In the faculty category of the Dongmyung Industry-Academia Awards, five professors including Gu Ja-hwi, Han Eun-jung, Kim Sang-gil, Ahn Tae-young, and Hwang Jung-gi received Excellence Awards, while Professor Park Soo-young won the Grand Prize. The Department of Advertising and Public Relations was the only department to produce two awardees.

Professors Gu Ja-hwi and Han Eun-jung have been guiding 3rd and 4th-year students in advertising, PR, and marketing field internships, as well as providing ‘double mentoring’ where university and industry professionals jointly counsel students on career paths. They were also recognized for their active participation in various university financial support projects.

Professor Han Eun-jung said, “We will do our best to enhance the major competencies of Advertising and Public Relations students through intensive industry-academia cooperation.”
