[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Silla University Lifelong Education Center held the ‘Silla Seniors Academy 20th Graduation Ceremony’ on the 19th at the Ye-eum Hall auditorium on campus.

The ‘Silla Seniors Academy Project’ has been operated by Silla University since 2010 under the commission of Busan City to promote a healthy elderly society based on building bonds among seniors aged 60 and over.

So far, it has conducted 20 sessions, producing over 1,000 graduates, and has been engaged in various community activities including volunteer work such as the Hope Sharing Campaign and helping neighbors in need.

At the graduation ceremony, Jeong Tae-gi, Head of the Senior Welfare Division of Busan City, and others attended to encourage the graduates and promised to continuously develop this project.

Graduate Kim Bok-sun said, “The Silla Seniors Academy became a new starting point where I found meaning in life and could begin a second chapter. I will actively participate in community activities, using what I have learned and felt as a foundation.”

Silla University Lifelong Education Center plans to recruit new students for the 21st session starting in August, with classes beginning in September.
