Dongsin University, Chodang University, and Mokpo Science University, which are promoting the establishment of a regional public small but strong university consortium (UCC) after receiving preliminary designation as a Glocal University by the Ministry of Education, recently co-hosted the "2025 Academic Year UCC Learning Know-How Contest Awards Ceremony" at Dongsin University.

According to Dongsin University on June 12, the contest was jointly planned and operated by the three universities. It was designed to help students enhance their capabilities by sharing their self-directed learning experiences in various content formats and exchanging learning know-how.

Participating students creatively expressed their self-directed learning strategies, time management methods, and experiences in learning motivation through a variety of formats, including essays, PPT presentations, card news, and videos.

A total of 40 students participated, and 23 students received awards: 1 Grand Prize, 2 Excellence Awards, 4 Merit Awards, 6 Encouragement Awards, and 10 Honorable Mentions.

The Grand Prize was awarded to Park Jin, a student in the Department of Counseling Psychology at Dongsin University. Park Jin commented, "It was a meaningful experience to interact and work together with students from other universities through this contest. I hope there will be more joint programs like this in the future."

Kang Jihae, Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning at Dongsin University, said, "This was a very meaningful contest in that students developed their learning experiences into educational content. We will continue to take the lead in spreading a creative learning culture through cooperation among regional universities."

Kim Kyunghee, Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning Support at Mokpo Science University, stated, "This contest provided a great opportunity for students to creatively express the learning know-how they have practiced and to reflect on their own learning experiences."

Oh Jonguk, Director of the Center for Teaching and Learning Development at Chodang University, said, "Based on this cooperative model, I hope that joint educational programs among regional universities will become even more active."
