On May 20, the Office of Admissions at Hallym University (President Choi Yanghee) successfully concluded the "2026 Spring Semester Hallym University Major Expo and Major Experience" at the university’s Recreation Center for local high school students.

This event was organized as part of the Local Talent Development Support Project to enhance local high school students' understanding of Hallym University's majors and to provide opportunities for career exploration. Notably, by linking with the "2026 Spring Semester Major Expo" that included current Hallym students, the event offered a broader range of career and academic exploration opportunities through major information sessions, departmental experiences, and admissions counseling.

The Major Expo was held on the third floor of the Recreation Center from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and featured 47 major booths (covering 55 departments and majors), as well as counseling booths from various administrative offices such as the University Job Plus Center, the Global Exchange Center, the Startup Support Headquarters, and the RISE Education Center.

For the major experience programs targeting local high school students, eight recruitment units (the Department of Life Sciences, School of Software, MICE Planning and Management Major, Department of Convergence Forensic Science, Media School, Semiconductor and Display School, Department of Audiology, and Department of Nursing) offered the following department-specific experiences: ▲VR·AR Equipment Experience (School of Software), ▲AI and Criminal Investigation (Department of Convergence Forensic Science), ▲Creating Your Own Media Profile with AI (Media School), and ▲The World Inside the Chip: Dreaming of Becoming a Future Technology Leader (Semiconductor and Display School). In addition, students received support to explore their areas of interest and career paths more concretely through one-on-one major counseling with professors and admissions counseling provided by the Office of Admissions.

Shim Songyong, Dean of Admissions at Hallym University, stated, "This major experience program was designed to allow high school students to directly experience university majors and explore their own career paths and aptitudes," adding, "By linking with the on-campus Major Expo, we aimed to provide practical support for students’ career and academic planning through a variety of counseling and experience programs."

He further emphasized, "We will continue to strengthen our ties with the local community and high schools and steadily expand tailored career and admissions support programs to contribute to nurturing local talent."
