[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] College students 'crazy' about basketball have bonded their hearts under the rim. This time, instead of the ball, they dunked donations toward the rim. The 'dunk shots' they made little by little have now reached 880,000 won. It was money collected to find a small way to help their juniors in the department.

Shilla University (President Kim Chung-seok) announced on the 21st that the basketball club 'Slam Dunk' from the Department of Social Welfare delivered scholarships to their juniors.

'Slam Dunk' donated 880,000 won in scholarships on the 16th to support juniors in the department who are struggling due to COVID-19.

This club is a basketball club composed of graduates and current students of the Department of Social Welfare and has donated scholarships for the second time this year.

Club president and graduate Jang Joo-hyun said, "I started the club while practicing to win the Busan area Social Welfare Department sports competition, and it is already the 15th year, which brings back fresh memories," adding, "Now, I am happy that it has become a fellowship community welcoming juniors through basketball."

Choi Sun-kyung, head of the Department of Social Welfare, praised, "A club that continuously fosters fellowship and supports juniors after graduation is a valuable asset to the department," and said, "The fact that seniors and juniors are together in a place where they can share leisure itself is a place of learning."

She also said, "On behalf of the department, I thank the seniors who delivered scholarships with warm hearts for their juniors."

The Department of Social Welfare at Shilla University is celebrating its 34th year this year. The university proudly stated that through practice-oriented education, it has formed a strong alumni network in the local community.
