Announcing the Successful Candidates for Law School with 84 Percent from Non-law Majors - Special lectures on Constitutions and civil and criminal laws for one month in February Ajou University Law School announced a list of successful candidates for 2009 on December 5 via its website.With the pass rate of 8.48 to 1, that is, student quota of 50 among 424 applicants, the final successful candidates were announced following paper screening, interviews and oral tests. There were 47 successful candidates from the regular admission and 3 in the special admission (the disabled and underprivileged) of whom 42 were non-law majors (84 percent) and 8 law majors (16 percent). As for those who weren’t majoring in law, 11 (22 percent) majored in engineering, humanities and business, 5 in social studies (10 percent), 2 (4 percent) in pharmacy and 1 (2 percent) in education and medicine, respectively. Among them, 35 are male and 15 are female, and their average age is 30.8 for men, and 28.27 for women. The Dean of Ajou University Law School, Baek Yun-gi said, "The successful candidates are from various occupational and academic fields. They worked for public institutions or privates enterprises, or are about to graduate from college. They showed a great interest in "legal affairs for small and medium-sized enterprises." Since non-law majors amount to 84 percent, preliminary courses on law for one month will be conducted prior to entrance."Special lectures on Constitutions and civil and criminal laws will be conducted for four hours on average per day, targeting the entrants from February 4 to 27, 2009. They will also be encouraged to form study groups to encourage their self-study habits. Ajou University Law School signed a cooperation agreement with four law schools in the U.S., Japan and China in a bid to become a prestigious law school specializing in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Professor Gwon Oh-pil\'s Team, Developing Single Crystals of High-efficiency Organic Electro Optics <span lang=EN-US style=\\\'mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Verdana\\\'> - Published on the inside cover of "Advanced Functional Materials" <span lang=EN-US style=\\\'mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Verdana\\\'> - Complementing drawbacks of the existing X-rays thanks to the unharmful and highly safe source material of Terahertz, possibly leading to higher demand in medicine and security A research team led by Professor Gwon Oh-pil (Department of Molecular Science & Technology at the Graduate School of Ajou University) and Professor <span lang=EN-US style=\\\'mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:black;font-weight: normal;mso-bidi-font-weight:bold\\\'>Peter Gunter<span lang=EN-US style=\\\'mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial; color:black\\\'> <span lang=EN-US style=\\\'mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Verdana\\\'>at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (Department of Physics) succeeded in developing "single crystals for high-efficiency non-ionic organic electro optics," a material for the source of Terahertz and optical communications devices. Such outcomes were published on the insider cover of "Advanced Functional Materials 2008, Vol. 20," the most renowned journal in the new materials field. "Single crystals for organic electro optics" are the major material for the source of "fiber optics components" and "Terahertz waves," the essential elements in establishing a high-speed information network. In particular, the engineering technology on Terahertz is a new field as research has just started in the modern optics field. Driven by the strengths that materials that general light waves or X-RAYS cannot penetrate can be selective penetrated, and penetration differs for conduction of materials, leading to a wide range of applications, active research has been underway.With Terahertz generated by the single crystals of organic electro optics, bio sensors, air pollution monitoring facilities and security devices can be made which complement the setbacks of the existing light waves and X-rays. For instance, the "ionic DAST crystals" developed in 1989 were limited in applications as they are water-soluble. However, the single crystals for non-ionic organic electro optics are highly safe in water and not harmful to the human body, so they can be widely applied to technologies of nano, information, bio-engineering, medicine and the environment. Professor Gwon said, "For an explosive inside an envelope, general optics or X-rays cannot determine its existence. However, with Terahertz, it is possible to do so because it penetrates the envelope without electric conduction and the Terahertz waves respond to a certain part of the explosive."This research was conducted by the funding of "Korea-Switzerland Bilateral Business" from the Korea Foundation for International Cooperation of Science and Technology (KICOS). Highly recognized for enhancing the limitations of the existing water-soluble ionic crystals with the development of new organic single crystals in 20 years, it was published ion the inside cover of "Advanced Functional Materials 2008. Vol 20." The journal is known to be the most prestigious one in the new materials field with the IF (Impact Factor, Citation Index) of 7,496. *Terahertz Waves (THz): As electronic waves between light and microwaves with a higher level than Megahertz and Gigahertz, Terahertz waves are different from the existing light waves or X-rays in that they show different penetration features depending on the conduction of materials. Therefore, they can selectively penetrate into materials that general light waves or X-rays cannot, causing no harmful effects to the human body as the highly spot-lighted source of optics in recent times. MIT of the U.S. nominated the technology on Terahertz waves as one of the top 10 new technologies that will change the future landscape in 2003. Meanwhile, the Japanese government also designated it to be one of the top 10 backbone technologies worthy to be intensely developed over the next decade. <span lang=EN-US style=\\\'mso-bidi-font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Verdana\\\'>Ajou University

Matters to be done by colleges interested in their internationalization - Presentation made at APAIE by the team led by Professor Do-yeong Kim What do Korean students studying in Europe need more than anything else? It appears that the answer to this question is “a proactive mindset and open-mindedness.” For foreigner students studying in Korea, “knowledge about local cultures” appears what they need the most.The foregoing is part of the contents of the presentation made by a team led by Professor Kim Do-yeong (School of Business Administration) with the help of Chang Dae-sung (a graduate student/School of Business Administration) at a session of the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) held in March in Japan based on a survey toward 84 Ajou students studying in Europe, North America and Oceania and 99 foreign students studying at Ajou as part of the sister school student exchange program.The survey, which was carried out on three occasions, i.e. right after their arrival, two months later and four months later, checked the students’ level of assimilation to local cultures, human interactions, satisfaction with life in a foreign country plus desired roles of the home university and the host university in connection with the foregoing.Ajou students with a proactive mindset studying in foreign countries showed a positive result in terms of assimilation to local cultures. Commenting on the survey, Professor Kim Do-yeong and Mr. Chang Dae-sung said, “The survey shows how their individual personality has an impact on their need to adapt to cultures of foreign countries where individualism is respected.” In contrast, the survey shows that foreigner students studying at Ajou rarely see that their individual personality has a significant impact on their life in Korea, a collectivist society, and that they get assimilated to local cultures rapidly, as time goes by. The research team commented on it, saying, “It appears that as foreigner students here come to have a deeper understanding of local cultures, as they have more and more close Korean friends.” The research proposes that it is necessary for Korean students who intend to study in these foreign countries to pay attention to the fact that their own behavior toward others will have a strong impact on their life there amid strong individualism. As for foreigner students studying at Ajou, the research says that it is necessary for them to understand local cultures, particularly the strong collectivism of Koreans to have a higher level of satisfaction with their life here. The research also points to the need for colleges in the said foreign countries to provide programs designed to help Korean students there to be able to adapt to their individualistic cultures, and vice versa. The research says, “Overall, both Korean and foreigner exchange students express much higher satisfaction with their life in foreign countries than in the past. Needless to say, their level of satisfaction will become higher with the launch of the aforesaid programs.” Man-Ghyu Pak, Head of the Office of External Relations, said, “The research was carried out, as it was pointed out that it was necessary to overhaul the student exchange program. I agree that we should make efforts to enhance the quality of the program, rather than focusing on increasing the number of exchange students. Attendees at the APAIE session expressed much interest in the contents of the presentation concerning the need for internationalization of colleges.” <Prof. Kim made a presentation at a session of the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE)> Ajou University
