Ajou's 2016 Summer AFTER YOU Program ends with a mentoring event

[16.09.23]


A mentoring event for the participants of the 'After You Program – 2016 Summer Ajou Global Campus' was held on the afternoon of September 23rd in Ajou University’s Seongho Hall Theater.


The event was attended by the students who participated in the Program, Ajou University President Dong Yeon Kim, and members of ‘Cheong Ya,’ who have served as mentors to the participants, including Chairman Hong Kuk Kim of Harim Group. Cheong Ya is a society of people who pioneered their future on their own by attending night high schools or colleges because of financial difficulties.


Ji Yoon Park (Department of Culture and Contents), who went to the University of Michigan this summer, served as the MC, and nine program participants, including Hee Jeong Hwang (Department of Psychology) and Assistant Manager Joong Hwa Kim (LINC Project Group), presented on their experiences.
 

After the presentation, plaques of appreciation were presented to the members of 'Cheong Ya,' who donated to the program, and words of appreciation were read for donors. The main event was then followed by a beer party on the lawn in front of Seongho Hall.


The AFTER YOU Program, one of several projects that Ajou launched last summer, is an intensive overseas training program for students who are having difficulties in developing overseas experience due to the challenging environment. Two hundred twenty students have built various experiences at Program partner universities in China and the U.S. over three sessions since summer vacation last year. This summer, a total of 121 students were sent to Washington University, the University of Michigan, and Johns Hopkins University in the U.S. and Beijing Institute of Technology and Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.


Twenty percent of Program participants were selected from students attending other local universities. The Program is funded by donations from people who agree with the need for such an initiative.
