Starbucks Holds Degree Conferment Ceremony with Hanyang Cyber University

[Asia Economy Reporter Song Seung-yoon] Starbucks Korea announced on the 20th that it held a degree conferment ceremony with Hanyang Cyber University on the 19th.

The degree conferment ceremony was conducted using YouTube on the Hanyang Cyber University website. The event was held with a minimal number of attendees, including internal and external guests and student representatives receiving awards.

Since 2016, Starbucks has been running a bachelor's degree acquisition program for Starbucks partners in collaboration with Hanyang Cyber University. This was the 11th graduation ceremony, and this year, 61 students graduated, the highest number among all scholarship recipients to date. Including the previous 167 graduates, a total of 228 partners have obtained a four-year bachelor's degree.

The program is conducted 100% online, including regular classes and exam evaluations, allowing students to continue their studies without the burden of attending campus. There are no conditions such as mandatory employment at Starbucks after graduation, so partners can freely receive tuition support. Students can also choose their majors regardless of their job duties.

Song Ho-seop, CEO of Starbucks Korea, said, "Starbucks will continue to support partners who strive to achieve their dreams in various ways together with Hanyang Cyber University."
