Dongmyung University (President Jeon Ho-hwan) held the final report and excellent case presentation for the second semester Service Learning (Service+Learning) and an award ceremony for the Busan Small Business Administration.
At the event held on the 22nd on campus, the D.L.C team (Department of Speech Therapy and Audiology Rehabilitation, supervised by Professor Kim Ki-ju), which created economic materials and teaching aids for adults with developmental disabilities, won the grand prize (prize money of 600,000 KRW) for helping the economic life of people with developmental disabilities at Jinhae Welfare Center for the Disabled.
The Excellence Award (prize money of 400,000 KRW each) was awarded to the Injoy team (Department of Advertising and Public Relations, supervised by Professor Han Eun-jung). The Injoy team produced a video to help promote the Busan Children's Comprehensive Center.
The final report and best practice presentation of Dongmyeong University Service Learning are being held.
On this day, Shin Hye-kyung, a staff member of the Market Revitalization Team at the Busan Small Business Support Division, and Kim Tae-woo, a staff member of the Busan Children's Comprehensive Center, attended and presented a certificate of commendation to the Dr. Seujaerange team (Department of Sports Rehabilitation, supervised by Professor Ji Chang-jin) for their contribution to traditional markets, and a letter of appreciation to Professor Kim Jae-ik.
Jung Ji-eon, head of the Career Action Center at Dongmyung University, said, “We give great applause for the passion shown in activities extending beyond Busan to the Gyeongnam region,” adding, “We hope that the global service learning program with Hue University of Technology in Vietnam, scheduled for January next year, will continue to succeed through diverse experiences and reflections.”
Dongmyung University plans to continue its activities next year as it achieved good results in service learning conducted with the Busan Children's Comprehensive Center.
They are also scheduled to attend the joint service learning performance sharing meeting of four universities on January 24 next year and present their excellent cases.
Service learning, which combines the concepts of service and learning, has been a university innovation support project carried out by Dongmyung University since 2020.
Following the MOU signed with Busan's traditional markets in August 2021, it was recognized as a liberal arts credit in 2022. It has become increasingly popular, to the extent that students voluntarily recommend it to their juniors.
Since 2020, over seven semesters, more than 100 service learners from 12 departments have developed their expertise by volunteering in connection with their majors at various institutions.
