Confucianism Humanity Education Center opened in Natural Sciences Campus
Confucianism Humanity Education Center opened at the room 51163 of General Studies Building in Natural Sciences Campus, and held an opening ceremony on November 26 (Thu).
Confucianism Humanity Education Center opened in Humanities and Social Sciences Campus in 2013, and has successfully operated <The Analects of Confucius>, an essential subject for the cultivation of SKKU students’ character. In addition, it implemented many humanity education programs and became specialized institution for humanity education.
However, Confucianism Humanity Education Center is located in Humanities and Social Sciences Campus, making it difficult for students in Natural Sciences Campus to experience humanity education programs. The center tried to operate the same programs in Natural Sciences Campus by moving manpower, equipment and materials, but suffered a lot because there was no separate space.
Professor Lee Cheon Sung was appointed as the head of the center in July and actively promoted the opening of Confucianism Humanity Education Center in Natural Sciences Campus. Based on the cooperation and support of University College, Confucianism Humanity Education Center opened at the room 51163 of General Studies Building.
With the opening of Confucianism Humanity Education Center, it plans to carry out more humanity education programs and projects for students in Natural Sciences Campus, including improvement of <The Analects of Confucius>, operation of classical lectures and cooperation project.
Since its establishment in 2013, the center has successfully developed and operated <The Analects of Confucius>, a liberal arts course representing SKKU, and helped develop the character of SKKU students through distinctive character-building practice programs. It also won the "Korea Humanity Education Grand Prize" in 2019 for promoting cooperation projects such as humanity education for military and personality mentoring at community child center.
Based on these unique achievements and know-how, the newly opened center in Natural Sciences Campus will implement character-building practice programs customized for students in Natural Sciences Campus, and will make efforts to improve the quality of lectures by professors of <The Analects of Confucius>. In addition, it will operate programs and classes specialized for Natural Sciences Campus, and will provide books like <The Analects for Inner Reflection>. The center plans to sign MOUs with social welfare institutions near Natural Sciences Campus and help students cultivate character.
Including the opening ceremony of Confucianism Humanity Education Center in Natural Sciences Campus, the center's humanity education programs, <The Analects of Confucius>, Sungkyunkwan Exploration videos, and other humanity education materials can be found in detail on YouTube(성균인성) or website(https://chec.skku.edu/).
