[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 9th that the '2021 Senior University' entrance ceremony was held at the Comprehensive Social Welfare Center with the attendance of Moon Jun-hee, Hapcheon-gun Governor, Bae Jong-hee, Chairman of Hapcheon County Council, Kim Yoon-chul, Gyeongnam Provincial Assembly member, Lee Cheon-jong, Chairman of the Hapcheon Senior Citizens Association, Cha Pan-am, Principal of Hapcheon Senior University, and 60 senior university students.

The county started classes for those who completed the first dose of vaccination based on the Ministry of Health and Welfare's vaccination-related 'Activation Plan for Cultural and Welfare Programs for the Elderly' as the COVID-19 infection situation calmed down.

In particular, this year Hapcheon-gun expanded healthy leisure and cultural activities for the elderly by adding one senior university each in the eastern region of Chogye-myeon and the northern region of Yaro-myeon, in addition to the existing single senior university.

Starting with Hapcheon Senior University in Hapcheon-eup on the 9th, the Eastern Senior University in Chogye-myeon will open on the 13th, followed by the Northern Senior University in Yaro-myeon on the 14th.

The Senior University operates various programs such as current affairs and humanities lectures, dance classes, singing classes, and cultural explorations to encourage healthy hobbies among local seniors.

Governor Moon said, "Thanks to the active cooperation with quarantine guidelines despite difficult circumstances, it was possible to open the Senior University," and added, "I hope everyone follows the quarantine guidelines well and enjoys a healthy and happy university life until the graduation ceremony."

In response, Principal Cha Pan-am of the Senior University said, "In the era of 100 years of age, we will strive to expand various leisure and cultural activities for the elderly in the region."
