제 1 호 Volunteer Work that Must be Filled with Necessity, Do You Know It Has Changed?

Volunteer Work that Must be Filled with Necessity, Do You Know It Has Changed? By Ju-eun Yeon/Reporter Yeonje1113@naver.com Many students have great confusion about the volunteer work process. Let’s find out about the changes to the volunteer work process and how to complete the volunteer subject. First, let’s find out the changed volunteer time. Previously, the new student of 2014 to 2017 had to do more than 58 hours of volunteer work. From this year, they will meet the conditions for volunteer work even if they fill only 28 hours, but only one credit will be granted. The rest of the credits can be filled with the essential liberal arts courses. You can choose whether to fill more than 58 hours instead of two credits or 28 hours instead of one credit. From the new student of 2018, they only fill 28 hours without any changes. Next, let’s take a look at the operational procedures. First, you need to contact a volunteer agency to do volunteer work. And then, apply for volunteer classes in the semester when you can fill with volunteer time. Then, you receive prior education from your professor in charge. Next, you enter the performance of the volunteer time directly into the university information system and submit the performance documents to the professor in charge. Finally, the professor in charge will give you a credit by pass or fail. Volunteers should be invited to a welfare center where performance is recognized at 1365(the site of volunteering) or VMS (Volunteer Management System). ▲The Homepage of 1365 Finally, I will explain the confusing points about the volunteer subject. Q1) Do I have to go to pre education? A1. Yes. Otherwise, you will get a fail grade and pre education gives you 2 hours of volunteer time. Q2) I take classes on Saturday. Do I have to go to school on the weekend? A2. No. Just take the pre-education. Perhaps the professor in charge will never call you because of volunteer work on the weekend. Q3) Can I apply for this at any time? A3. Right and wrong. You can apply for the volunteer subject at any time if you satisfy the volunteer time. Q4) Is the volunteer work that I did during the vacation acceptable? A4. Yes. You will busy during the semester, so fill it up in advance using the vacation. However, you should fill 2 hours of volunteer time during the semester. Q5. When can I give the professor in charge the performance documents? A5. Any time you have finished your volunteer time!

제 1 호 SMU Holds Capacity Building Program for Professors

SMU Holds Capacity Building Program for Professors by Sarah Chae, Editor sarah3fran@gmail.com A capacity building program for promoted, new and re-appointed professors was held by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) of Sangmyung University (SMU). The event took place at the Centuria Building, SMU Seoul Campus for 2 days, on February 14th and 15th. This education program for professors was held as SMU has judged abilities of the teaching staff as the core of competitiveness nowadays. Recent situations have shown that universities are in states of crisis. Educational environments have changed and the fall of school-age population has led to admission problems (lower quotas). Therefore, to increase the competitiveness of SMU “The Past and Present of Our University, and the Innovation and Changes of the Future” was chosen as the topic of the whole program. The CTL has judged that strengthening teaching methods has its limits to capacity building. For such reasons, the focus of the program was on creating opportunities to explore strategies for the changes of school platforms and strengthen creative convergence education. Different programs were taken between new professors and promoted or re-appointed professors. The whole capacity building program consisted of programs like “Information education for strengthening creative convergence education”, “Understanding university structure and policy according to the recent environmental changes of universities”, “Team activity programs that use coding education”, “A talk with a senior professor”, “Surviving/Growing strategies to overcome the age of uncertainty”, and more. SMU was the first among domestic universities to hold this kind of program. However, after August 2018, this is the second time an education program about understanding the changes of the educational environment and the school has been held for the professors at SMU. *Source: https://www.smu.ac.kr/webzine/today.do?mode=view&articleNo=697194 https://www.smu.ac.kr/webzine/today.do?mode=view&articleNo=697194&article.offset=10&articleLimit=10
