Business & Economics Hall and IT Hall newly opened, offering high-tech educational environment Completed construction of CRC building, procured research base for conversion in campus Increased power supply by 10,000KW to for providing stable energy supply [Apr 6, 2012] Yeungnam University campus underwent a major facelift. YU (president Lee, Hyo-soo) recently held its construction and remodeling completion ceremony for the Business & Economics Halll, IT Hall and CRC building and completed its change into a high-tech and pleasant campus. The new building of the Business & Economics Hall that just opened its doors has one underground level and stands four stories tall with a total floor area of 3,131m². Construction for this began in April of last year and was completed in late February of this year. The new building of the Business & Economics Hall, in which 3.6 billion won was invested for construction, is equipped with graduate school research labs, information retrieval rooms, high-tech multi-functional lecture room, small and medium sized classrooms, seminar rooms, and a global lounge to provide the best educational environment for academics and research. The IT Hall(Information & Telecommunication Hall) extended and remodeled the main building of the College of Engineering, recreating it into a high-tech building with a vast floor areas of 7,141m². The IT Hall, in which about 3.3 billion won was invested in equipped with an electric room, is aiming to generate synergy effects for IT education and research by locating the Departments of Information and Communication Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Electronic Engineering here. The CRC (Convergence Research Cluster) building, which will act as a base for convergence within the campus, also held its completion ceremony on this day. About 11.8 billion won was invested for the construction of this building and took about 10 months to build since beginning its construction in mid April last year. This building spans across a total floor space of 7,738m² and has one underground level, while standing five stories tall. The CRC building is planning to integrate human and material resources for the technological research in green energy such as the LED-IT Fusion Technology Research Center, Center for Green Car Parts, Solar Cell Materials and Process R&D Workforce Cultivation Program, and LINC project team, while also fostering the human resources. Using this as a stepping stone, YU is preparing takes its next leap into becoming a world-class local hub university that will lead convergence research. In addition, for the stable supple of energy within the campus, YU invested 7.9 billion won from late last year for two months for construction to increase the energy supply. In result, an additional 10,000KW supply was added to the original electric power capacity so to make it possible to supply a total of 20,000KW of electric power in the campus. The voltage of the supply of electric power was also doubled from 3.3KV to 6.6KV. Furthermore, cutting-edge electric power control facilities were also added to the substation in order to minimize unnecessary waste of energy. On these changes, YU president Lee, Hyo-soo stated, "YU keeps an audacious challenge to shift the paradigm of current university education. In such course, changes in not only software such as education and research, but also changes in the hardware are needed." He added, "We will continuously work on making the best campus environment for world-class education and research." Woo, Eui-Hyung, chairman of Yeungnam Academy Foundation, who participated in this event to congratulate the completion of construction stated in his address, "As of today, Yeungnam University is equipped with grand facilities including 188 buildings and a total area of over 460,000m². I hope that with the upgraded education and research environments, the entire faculty of our university will work harder to train world-class human resources, while publishing research papers that the entire world will take notice of." He also added, "Yeungnam Academy Foundation will also provide its full support to enhance the competitiveness of the university."

Another result of the new vision of YU, 'Glocal Initiative' For two and a half hours from 16:30 to 19:00 on March 26, 2012 at the College of Medicine of Yeungnam university, 13 medical student(7 of YU, 6 of Kyushu University) has held a heated teleconference meeting. The teleconference meeting is a student-oriented one to follow up on the overseas field-training for clinical studies at the College of Medicine of Kyshu University and Hara-Doi Hospital in Japan which was sponsored by the educational capacity strengthening project of YU in 2011. Though the budget for the College of Medicine alloted from the total budget of the project was 10 million won, additional field trips were made to the Kyushu region, which was relatively cheaper, after having sent students to the US and Australia, in order to develop new regions for overseas clinical training and to increase the number of students for such field trips. Finally, this choice proved to be very effective. At this teleconference, Jung Heo(student representative, senior) and Hyeon-jeong Jung (senior) of the YU College of Medicine made a case presentation and review presentation on “Petechiae on both forearms & lower legs“, while Ji-yeon Koo, Chang-hwi Park(seniors), and Jae-won Kim, Jong-myeong Yoon, and Joon-hyeok Lee (juniors) held discussions. Students from the Kyushu University presented cases on 'multiple injuries'. The two and a half hour meeting was conducted in English generally, but Ji-yeon Koo, proficient in Japanese as well, footnoted some parts in Japanese which were difficult to communicate only in English. The meeting has been carried out with hot passion, yet a friendly atmosphere. Though other colleges of medicine in the region have sent students for overseas training in advance of YU, there has never been such a case that showed so visible and practical results in such a short period of time. Such achievements owe to not only the strong will of Dean Su-jeong Lee for clinical training in Japan, but also that of Vice-Dean Young-hwan Lee, who led the case studies for the conference, and that of Vice-Dean for student affairs Gyeong-soo Lee, who led the training in Japan and coordinated student exchange program. Henceforth, we will hold the international teleconference regularly and actively solve such issues as lack of budget, aging of equipment, etc. in order to realize YU's vision 'Glocal University', and to train 'a respected global doctor', which is the educational goal of the YU College of Medicine.

Yeungnam University and Gyeongsangbuk-do run 'US Business Course' jointly, which is recognized as a shortcut to the overseas employment. YU will begin 'GE4U Program' from May in collaboration with the Ministry of Employment & Labor, the Human Resources Development Service of Korea, and the local governments. [Apr 3, 2012] YU graduates that are hired in the US (from left to right, Lee, Yu-jin, Kim, Jae-wan, Maeng, Hyeon-ah) "No matter how tough it is to find a job, there is always a way. Try finding a job overseas. First, hone your abilities through systematic programs at a reliable educational institute and be confident in making challenges. Then, you will have the opportunity to use your skills in a bigger world. That is my case." Lee, Yu-jin (23) graduated last February from the YU Department of Sociology. She is working as an intern at the Custom Services, Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia from April 1. After her 12 month full-time internship, she will have the opportunity to be hired as a full-time employee. She says that the reason why she is able to be hired at a customs service in the US even as a major in sociology, was because of the 'US Business Course' that was opened by YU since November of last year. The US Business Course that is overseen by the YU Center for Continuing Education (director Paik, Gwon-ho, School of Business) in connection with Gyeongsanbuk-do is a program that aims at gaining employing in their related major. Every day from Monday to Friday for 6 months for a total of 960 hours, students receive English education, work education (office), general education (lectures from experts, US culture, employment information, interview skills, etc). 41 million won for educational expenses per person is provided from national funding. Those who successfully land jobs in the US receive 2 million won for airfare from YU and 1.2 million won as an employment bonus from Gyeongsangbuk-do. Lee, who landed her job even before completing the course, said, "I did not even think about getting a job overseas when I first became a senior. But after hearing that our university and Gyeongsangbuk-do will work together to provide support for getting jobs in the US, I gathered the courage and challenged it. It provided a systematic and effective language education without having to go abroad for language courses, work training focusing on the actual work, overseas employment support with proven reliability, as well as education expense grants. Basically, it was like killing four birds with one stone. Thanks to this, I was able to attain good results, and I am very thankful for this." Kim, Jae-wan (28) who also graduated from the YU Department of Electrical Engineering in August of last year was hired by a mobile communications company in Dallas, while Maeng, Hyeon-ah (24) who graduated in February of last year from the School of Economics and Finance was also hired by a information & communication technology company in New Jersey. On the 2nd of this month, Kim, Ji-eun (25) who graduate School of Business this past February was picked up by a medical instrument company in New Jersey. Park, Na-ra (24) and Oh, Yu-ri (25), who just graduated from School of Business and Department of Statistics, respectively, in February also departed the country after being hired together at a logistics company in California. 6 of the 12 students in this course have already confirmed overseas employment, despite the fact that there is still a month left in the course. Other students are also preparing to find employment. They said, "Youthfulness is a special right to make challenges. Since we have successfully landed jobs overseas, we will have bigger dreams in a bigger world." They also added, "We participated in various development programs offered by our university such as presentation contents, job camps, and CEO courses, as well as extracurricular activities such as volunteer work at World Vision and Holt Children's Services, mentoring programs at the Korea Student Aid Foundation, and the 6 Sigma Green Belt course, which probably gave us additional points. You should keep this in mind when preparing to find a job in the US." Based on the success of the 'US Business Course', YU will operate the 'GE4U (Global Employment For You) together with the Ministry of Employment and Labor, Human Resources Development Service of Korea, and Gyeongsangbuk-do. 20 students will be selected and applications are accepted until April 20. Systematic employment education and overseas employment support is offered for 8 months and of the 6.1 million won for educational expenses, 4.1 million will be provided by national funding. Contact the YU Center for Continuing Education for details (Tel : 053-624-4442~3).
