Through various activities and exchanges, freshmen were provided with opportunities to feel a sense of belonging and to explore their own paths.

At the opening ceremony, the event began with a welcoming address from Lee Junghui, Dean of Superstar College, followed by greetings from Park Sunghui, Head of the School of Interdisciplinary Studies and Director of the RC Center, introductions of community leaders, and an oath by the representatives, adding significance to the camp.

During the camp, students collaborated, shared opinions, and had time to develop leadership and a sense of unity through community activities. In particular, the special lecture titled "Happiness and Success" by President Park Jinbae on the 26th provided new students with an opportunity for self-reflection on their life goals and values while exploring various majors, offering motivation to start a happy and successful university life.

President Park Jinbae stated, "This camp is a valuable occasion for new students of the School of Interdisciplinary Studies to take their first step as members of the RC community.

Jeonju University is raising expectations for future RC education, building on the successful operation of this camp. The customized programs centered on the RC community are expected to play a significant role in helping new students experience four areas (community, creativity and challenge, social contribution, culture and arts) and find their own paths.

Meanwhile, starting with this camp, the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Jeonju University plans to provide multifaceted support for student growth by operating RC education, including dormitory activities, mentoring programs, and learning support services, so that students can grow through relationships and experience positive changes in university life.
