- Our university dormitory held teacher/parent letter competition
- Our university dormitory held teacher/parent letter competition Our university dormitory(Director: Park Donghee)held teacher/parent letter competition to celebrate Parents' Day and Teacher's Day for the students of Myeongryun Haksa(the Humanities & Social Sciences Campus dormitory) in the first semester of 2020. Despite the difference in dorm life from previous years due to COVID-19, about 50 students submitted sincere handwritten letters to their parents, high school teachers, and our university professor. Social Science Department student Kim Yejin, whose parents are living in the Philippines, said in the letter, “Except for writing a letter to my brother in the army, it's my first time to write a letter since elementary school, so I feel very awkward. I'm living well in the dormitory. I was worried a lot because it was my first time in the dormitory, but the rooms are better than I thought and the dormitory students are nice. I don't know when I can go home again, but I hope to see you soon. And actually, I have a confession to make; I spent a lot of money on books for the first time in university. I'll pay you back when I get a scholarship later.” Global Leader Department student Kim Dongjoo, whose parents are living in Hong Kong, sent a letter with gratitude to his parents. He said, “It has been two months since I left my parents to enter university and lived in a dormitory. I'm sure you were worried that your second son, who was immature and childish, would have to leave home for the first time and do everything himself from afar, but I’m getting used to it. I envy friends who can go home whenever they want, but there will be days when the COVID-19 situation will be stabilized and we can go to Hong Kong soon. I will study hard and come back with good grades.” Student Iladia, whose parents are living in Germany, wrote in a letter, “My grandfather was a Korean War veteran. Unlike my mom who was sad when I said I wanted to go to Korea, I'm very thankful to my dad who cheered for me. No matter how far away I am, I will be with you in my heart. I love you.” "In addition to the Korean students, students from various nationalities, including China, India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, Germany and France, submitted letters," said Jung Sarah, an employee of the dormitory who organized the event. "These days, students may not be used to writing handwritten letters, but I was surprised to see them actively participating in the event by carefully filling more than two long pages without any space." Myeongryun Haksa plans to mail letters in late April so that parents and teachers can happily receive letters from the students.
