[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Gyeongsang National University announced on the 15th that it held the 2022 academic year freshman orientation.


Gyeongsang National University, which did not hold orientation for two consecutive years due to COVID-19, held it this year. The university explained that the orientation was held to revitalize the university culture, which had been subdued across society, and to support students' safe and enjoyable university life.


Gyeongsang National University decided to create a quarantine environment and conduct a scaled-down face-to-face orientation to gradually expand the recovery of daily life.


Also, considering the Omicron variant outbreak and other situations, all students participating in the face-to-face event were required to have completed 2 to 3 doses of the vaccine.


About 500 students attending in person were divided into three locations across two campuses, and about 3,800 students watched the live YouTube video.


At the Gajwa Campus, 217 students were accommodated in the main auditorium on the 2nd floor of the GNU Convention Center, 140 students in the audience seats of the International Language Institute Pioneer Hall, and 127 students in the main auditorium on the 2nd floor of the Chilam Campus main building.



Student Affairs Director An Mi-jung said, “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, freshman orientation was not held for the past two years, so freshmen did not have time to form an attachment to the university at the beginning of their admission. This year, by holding a hybrid of face-to-face and non-face-to-face events, we decided to restore the diminished student interaction and support a safe and enjoyable university life.”
