Started in 2008, the Teacher Family event marked its 16th edition this year. Alumni actively working in various education-related fields participated in this event, including teachers from national, public, private, and alternative schools, employees of education-related companies, education office officials, counseling center teachers, and graduate students. Students engaged in conversations with alumni seniors on various topics such as career paths, preparation for teacher certification exams, and life as educators.

Kim Mi-yang, instructor at Seoul Women's University Lifelong Education Center and president of the Korea Anger Management Education Association, supports juniors by awarding scholarships annually through the Teacher Family event.

Student Moon Da-hee (Department of English Language and Literature), who participated in the event, said, "It was a valuable time to learn about the role of teachers and various social activities through conversations with seniors," adding, "When I was preparing for the teacher certification exam alone, I felt overwhelmed, but after listening to seniors' stories and sharing concerns, I was able to strengthen my mindset for exam preparation and organize my preparation methods based on their know-how."
