A Warm Meal to Support Students' Day
Celebrating its 80th anniversary, Gyeongnam National University has launched practical support initiatives to strengthen student-centered welfare.
Starting in March, Gyeongnam National University will participate in the “1,000-Won Breakfast in 2026” program promoted by the Korea Agency of Education, Promotion and Information Service in Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, aiming to help university students develop healthy eating habits and improve their academic performance.
The “1,000-Won Breakfast” is a government-supported program that provides a balanced, rice-based breakfast for just 1,000 won, making it easier for university students-who often skip breakfast-to start their day without financial burden. Through this program, Gyeongnam National University plans to foster healthy daily routines and create a stable academic environment for its students.
The program will be offered for eight months, excluding vacation periods, from March 3 to December 11. It will operate on weekdays during the semester from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at the faculty cafeteria on the second floor of Hanma Hall. All enrolled students are eligible to participate, and approximately 200 breakfasts will be served each day.
Gyeongnam National University views this initiative as a “warm start” to support students each day. The university believes that a proper breakfast can help establish a healthy daily rhythm and be the starting point for improved concentration in learning.
Jung Woochang, Dean of Student Affairs at Gyeongnam National University, stated, “We will strengthen support to help students start their day without financial concerns,” adding, “We will continue to expand welfare programs closely linked to daily life and government policies, so that students can fully focus on their studies.”
