This event was organized to strengthen the bond between alumni and their alma mater and to activate a mentoring network that can provide practical career and employment information to current students. A representative from the University Job Headquarters introduced how to use the online mentoring system 'SUtoring,' which connects alumni seniors with current students.

In the mentoring case presentation, alumnus Jeong Hyo-chan (Class of 2006, Department of Computer Science, Deputy General Manager at Korea Investment & Securities) shared his experience supporting juniors through Samyook University's representative mentoring programs such as 'SUtoring,' 'Employment Club Mentor,' and 'Conversations with Seniors.'

Jeong said, "Through mentoring and communicating with juniors, I came to understand the thoughts of new employees these days, and by answering their questions, I myself learned a lot and discovered many new things."

During the networking session, participants actively exchanged business cards and expanded their personal networks through ice-breaking activities. They shared their work experiences and also discussed mentoring for juniors and ways to enhance industry-academia cooperation with their alma mater.

Jung Sung-jin, head of the University Job Headquarters at Samyook University, said, "Through this Networking Day, we expect to further strengthen the ties between alumni and the university and expand opportunities for industry-academia cooperation. We will continue to actively utilize the mentoring network to do our best to expand employment opportunities for current students."
