Meanwhile, the ‘2nd Animal Health Technician Oath Ceremony and Memorial Service’ was held on the afternoon of the 24th in Room 211 of the Cheongmun Hall. During the oath ceremony, students lit candles and read the oath, pledging to dedicate themselves to the protection and welfare improvement of animals as prospective animal health technicians.

Following this, the ‘Memorial Service’ included flower offerings and a moment of silence to express gratitude to the practice animals and honor their spirits.

Baek Dong-hwa, head of the Department of Animal Health at Yeungjin College, said, “Through this event, our students had an opportunity to reaffirm their responsibility and sense of mission as animal health professionals, and it was a meaningful time to remember and honor the animals that contributed to the development of the animal culture industry and veterinary medicine.”
