YTN introduces Ajou’s Paran Semester and the After You Program 
 
[2016.04.18]
Ajou University’s Paran Semester - Creative Activity Program and the After You Program were introduced on YTN’s ‘Campus 24’ segment, which covers up-to-date news about universities, including entrance information, and is aired at 3:30 p.m. every Saturday.  
 
 
Paran Semester is a program that Ajou University introduced this spring semester and students participating in it can obtain 3-18 regular credits when they successfully carry out the tasks they designed themselves. Forty-two teams of 120 students are taking on various challenges under the program.
 
 
From among the student participants, ‘Campus 24’ introduced the Formula 250 Team (Bo Seon Kim, Yu Jin Kim, Dong Jun Seo, Hyo Jun Yoon, Woo Yeong Lee, Eui Il Jung, Ho Gyun Choi, and Ki Cheon Han from the Department of Mechanical Engineering), the three-member independent game producing team (Min Jae Won, Ji Hun Joo, and Byeong Jun Yoon from the Department of Digital Media), and the projection mapping production team (Byeong Guk Gong, Tae San Kim, Hee Soo Kim, Hyeon Woo Park, Soo Yeong Baek, Myeong Soo Suh, Jeong Yoo, Jin Hyeok Lee, Chae Seok Lim, and Da Hye Jung from the Department of Digital Media).
 
 
In an interview with YTN, Ajou’s President Dong Yeon Kim said, “It would be great if students find what they really want to do through Paran Semester. But, it is okay if they don’t,” adding, “I hope that they continue to train themselves and try to find what they want to do, which will take them closer to ‘the jobs they truly want to do.’ That is the purpose of Paran Semester.”   
 
 
‘Campus 24’ also introduced the After You Program, which is an overseas training course launched by the University for students having difficulty in building overseas experience because of financial difficulties.
 
 
President Kim said, “Sustainable development is difficult in a society where polarization is worsening,” adding, “The After You Program is based on Ajou’s belief that class mobility should be enhanced in order for our society to continue sustainable development.”
 
 
President Kim went on to say, “There is an English proverb, ‘A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor,’” adding, “I expect that Ajou’s students will confront challenges on the tough sea instead of remaining on calm waters and have the courage and not hesitate to take up difficult tasks.”
