“Global Challenger” investigative report competition

Kangnam University was selected three years in a row for the “2011 Education Empowerment Support Project” initiating the Global Challenger project to foster and develop talented individuals of global standards needed in the 21st century. The teams that were chosen visited the countries and institutions where they were required to explore in depth following the respective team schedules during the winter vacation.

The investigative briefing competition was held at the International Conference Room on the fourth floor of Woowon Hall at 1 pm on February 8, 2012. Each team was allotted 10 minutes for their presentations in which they had to present on the purpose of their visit, outcome, and final thoughts. First place, second place, and third place teams were selected after thorough and fair evaluations. Rewards for the selected teams were as follows:

First place (1 team): 500,000 won, second place (2 teams): 300,000 won, and third place (4 teams): 200,000 won.

Lee Jin-Woo of the Global Center commented, “I would like thank the winning teams for a job well done as well as all of the students who participated in the ‘Global Challenger’ program and hope that they have broadened their horizons by traveling in various parts of the world.”  He went on to say, “I am proud to say that our university has been selected for the university education empowerment project in 2012 making it the fourth year in a row and truly hope that all of the students are given an opportunity to achieve their dreams.”

Why not take advantage of this great opportunity to travel around the world through this program?  More interest and participation in the ‘Global Challenger’ program will ultimately lead to the development and enhancement of KNU students.
