Sixty-two current students prepared congratulatory placards to welcome their juniors, and children from the UNIST workplace daycare held colorful balloons to cheer on the freshmen’s new start. Inside the gymnasium, pre-ceremony congratulatory performances were held by student clubs Unplugged (band), Unique (cheerleading squad), and UNISTra (orchestra).

During the main event, the faculty male chorus presented a congratulatory stage welcoming the new students. Additionally, a surprise screening of a congratulatory video featuring the voices of 86 freshmen parents lifted the atmosphere.

President Yong-Hoon Lee said, “UNIST is a university full of students who perform on the global stage,” and urged the freshmen, “Spend your time on campus meaningfully, enjoy a sense of accomplishment, study hard, but also be sure to invest time in maintaining your physical and mental health.”

On the same day, a campus tour for pre-registered parents and a parent meeting consisting of an introduction to overall school life and a Q&A session were also arranged.

Sooyeon Son, the part leader of the Freshman Academic Affairs Office, which organized the entrance ceremony, said, “I hope this will be a precious time to announce the birth of a new family to all freshmen and UNIST members and to make the members feel a sense of responsibility.”
