President Lee Haewoo began by saying, "Thanks to all of you, our university's indicators have improved encouragingly," and added, "As both my alma mater and my workplace, I want to change Dong-A University together with you." He went on to emphasize, "Please join the reform drive so that our university can overcome its challenges and take a leap forward."

The workshop was more than just a series of lectures. Covering topics from 'Deepening Thoughts on AI,' to 'Preparing for Retirement,' and 'Confidence in Organizational Culture,' the event provided employees with practical yet warm messages.

The first lecture, 'ChatGPT: From Tool to Partner,' was delivered by Hong Youngil, head of the Fun and Meaning Research Institute. He suggested that AI technology should not be seen merely as a productivity tool, but rather as a partner for better thinking. Faculty and staff showed great interest in the potential applications of AI in the public sector.

Next, Cha Kyungsu, CEO of Plus Pension Consulting, gave a realistic overview of the structure and strategies of the staff pension system under the theme 'Preparing for Retirement from Now.' The final lecture, 'Nothing is Impossible in the World,' was presented by Ko Hyesung, CEO of Confidence President. His cheerful yet sincere message about revitalizing organizational culture was met with applause from the participants.

After the workshop, Secretary General Heo Namin concluded by saying, "Let us build a culture of helping and respecting each other together," and added, "We will diversify both on-campus and off-campus training programs to support the joint growth of our employees."

"As a school grows, it is easy for consideration for people to diminish. Today was an opportunity to look at one another anew."

This is how employees continue to learn today. And tomorrow, they become the driving force that transforms the university.
