Soonchunhyang University Holds Glocal University 30 Communication Briefing for Enrolled Students

The Only One Selected Among Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungnam Areas

Suncheonhyang University, the only institution selected in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungnam region in the 'Glocal University Preliminary Designation Evaluation,' held a communication briefing session for its enrolled students.

According to Suncheonhyang University on the 25th, the university held the 'Glocal University 30 Communication Briefing Session among University Members' for enrolled students in the Humanities and Sciences Building auditorium the previous day.

The 'Glocal University 30' project selects 30 non-metropolitan universities that will lead the co-growth of universities and local communities based on partnerships with local industries by breaking down internal and external barriers within universities. It supports these universities with a project budget of 100 billion KRW over five years.

Suncheonhyang University was the only university selected in the Daejeon, Sejong, and Chungnam region among 15 nationwide, according to the '2023 Glocal University Preliminary Designation' evaluation announced by the Ministry of Education and the Glocal University Committee on the 20th of last month.

Suncheonhyang University has shifted from the traditional admission system where students choose departments or faculties to a 'student-designed university education system' where students select academic systems or curricula, setting this as the core direction of its innovation plan. This briefing session was held to listen to students' opinions for establishing concrete implementation plans.

The briefing was attended by key officials including Jo Hodae, Dean of Student Affairs; Yoon Seonghwan, Dean of Planning; Lee Kyungho, Dean of Academic Affairs; and Min Sedong, Dean of Admissions, along with about 300 enrolled students. Dean Jo provided a briefing on the innovation plan submitted for the preliminary designation and listened to members' opinions regarding detailed implementation plans.

Dean Jo stated, “University development cannot proceed solely from the supplier's perspective. Our university will continuously create communication opportunities to materialize the contents of the Glocal University innovation plan previously submitted and actively strive to ensure that students receive the maximum benefits.”
