The ceremony for launching 'Paran Semester – Ajou's Creative Activity Semester Program' was held on the morning of March 3rd in the Grand Auditorium of the University's Dasan Hall.
 
 
The ceremony was attended by about 250 people, including student participants and their guiding professors for the Program, other professors and staff members from the University, and officials from sponsor companies.
 
 
The event kicked off with a progress report on Paran Semester, followed by a performance under the theme of 'challenges' by Sand Arts, encouraging messages by partner companies and the guiding professors, a video presentation on taking on challenges, presentations by student participants, and taking a commemorative group photo.
 
 
Officials from Oriental Brewery (OB), Harim, and BMW Korea, which support the Program's missions and objectives, joined the event as partner companies. CEO Do Hoon Kim, Vice President Hyeon Seok Song, and other officials from OB gave their messages in person to encourage students. Chairman Hong Guk Kim of Harim and CEO Hyo Joon Kim of BMW Korea sent video messages for the students.
 
 
From among the students participating in Paran Semester, Soo Hyeon Cha (Department of Mechanical Engineering), Hyeon Soo Kim (Department of Digital Media), and Dong Wook Kim (Department of e-Business) got on stage to present their plans and goals for their tasks.
 
 
Professor Woo Jin Chang came up on the stage as a representative of the guiding professors and introduced a scene from the musical "Singin’ in the Rain." He then said, "You will be given freedom with Paran Semester," advising "I hope you will have fun and enjoy it." 
 
 
In his greetings, President Dong Yeon Kim said, "I support you as you sail towards a sea of tough waves instead of calm waters," adding, "The University will provide all the help you need so that you can become great sailors and bring changes to our society."
