Kicker: SM NEWS Mask Donation Relay from Chinese Students at Sangmyung University by Min-gyeong Lee, Editor lee.mkpeach@gmail.com Chinese international students attending Sangmyung University donated masks to the school (from the third on the left, a student Im Dan, Prof. Park Min-Jung, and the Graduate School President Kim Jung-Wook) On April 8th, a box arrived at the graduate school office of Sangmyung University. There were 2,000 masks in the box. The person who sent the masks is Sun Yu, a Chinese international student who is enrolled in a doctoral course in the Department of Formative Arts. Inside the box, there was a note that said, "I would like to help the faculty and students who are are struggling with Corona 19 a little, and I hope we can overcome this together." In March, 900 masks were delivered from Chinese students such as Ren Dan, Li Liang, Du Xiaolei, Di Aoran, and Zhu Weijia, who are undergoing doctoral studies. They said, "We are sending these with the intention of being a small help when we are all struggling with the Corona 19." Masks received from international students will be distributed to students. “I am very grateful to their minds thinking about our school even though the situation in China would not be good,” said Dr. Kim Jung-wook, graduate school president, who received the masks. Park Min-jung, a professor at the Department of Formative Arts, expressed her gratitude by saying, “We will use it for students in small-scale, face-to-face classes to be held after students' consent and safety measures.” On the other hand, Sangmyung University quickly checks the mask sales network for international students who have difficulty buying masks in Korea, purchases the masks and distributes them to students. The masks are being distributed to international students with support from Seoul City and Jongno-gu. Source: https://news.unn.net/news/articleView.html?idxno=228037

제 6 호 Satisfaction Survey of Students about School

Kicker: SM NEWS Satisfaction Survey of Students about School By Dong-Wook Kim, Reporter smartpodo@kakao.com Due to COVID-19, most of the lectures are currently held non-face to face. Therefore, most of the students have not seen or have not visited school yet. The online lectures made students to be curious about whether the school is dealing well with the disease. Here are some surveys taken by Sangmyung Univ. students based on their school’s response to COVID-19 and their countermeasures. It is important to be aware about the students’ opinion to make a right choice to run the school. By knowing the thought of a majority of students, it is easy for the school to make an ideal decision that students and the school are ok with. This is a satisfactory survey result about Sangmyung University’s countermeasures to COVID-19. It seems that most of the students are not quite satisfied with the school’s counter measures. 47 students out of 78 participants have selected that the school is not dealing with the disease. One of the main solutions that the school came out with was to do face to face lectures if there are ten or less students in a lecture with an unanimous opinion on doing face to face lectures. Here is the satisfactory rate survey result of Sangmyung University’s main solution to COVID-19. The pandemic is getting worse than expected, maybe until the second semester. What are students’ thoughts on doing the face to face lectures during the second semester? The graph shows that approximately 62 percent of students disagree with having face to face lectures next semester. There are some reasons that the surveyors wrote about why they agree or disagree with online lectures. Most of the students that agree with online lectures wrote that COVID-19 will still be a pandemic then. They wrote that it will be easy to get a group infection if offline lectures are done at the latter semester. On the other hand, most of the reason that they disagree with the online lectures is they cannot follow the quality of offline lectures. Online lectures have a limitation to reach the quality of offline lectures. Overall, the survey shows that the school has a lack of gathering opinions from students when processing protocols during the disease. There is a controversial conversation about agreeing or disagreeing with the offline lectures. Thus, the school should keep an eye on students’ thoughts frequently to change the negative thoughts about the school from their students. Sources: http://naver.me/5aIh8QQZ

제 6 호 President of School Interview

Kicker: SM NEWS President of School Interview Online Class Problems Caused by Corona By Chae-Eun Song, Reporter thdcogml@naver.com * This interview was reconstructed based on an article written on April 22 by editor Soo-yeon Song, reporters So-young Yoon and Um Yu-jin Um from the Sangmyung University Newspaper (Korean version). The Sangmyung University Newspaper (Korean version) received questions from April 17 with our students about the changes from Corona 19 through a two-day Everytime session and conducted an interview with President Baek Woong-ki based on a questionnaire. ▲President Baek Woong-ki , https://www.smu.ac.kr/newspaper/interview.do?mode=view&articleNo=708335&article.offset=0&articleLimit=10#/list Most universities decided the entire online class for the first semester. In the case of our university, there was a notice about the period of online lectures and when we would start the classes. Why did you make such a decision? Since February 3, an 18-member emergency response team for infectious diseases has been continuously discussing quarantine and academic schedules for school safety. After the first decision to postpone the starting of the class for two weeks, we watched the progress of Corona 19. However, it seemed difficult to proceed with face-to-face classes. As a result, we proceeded with the "two-week online lecture". As the situation gradually became more serious, we had to extend the online classes again. Judging that it is difficult to conduct online classes for experimental and practical courses, which account for 45% of the total classes, from April 6, classes of less than 10 students in experimental and practical courses were conducted in face-to-face classes on the condition that all teachers, instructors and students agree and take safety measures. From April 27, the 100 percent practical classes and theory with practice classes will also be rearranged and face-to-face classes will be conducted on the same condition. If we continue to offer online classes, why not publish all first semester for online classes like other universities? Also I would like to know the process of making decisions on the part of the school and the method that the notice is delivered to students. Major policy items related to Corona19 are discussed and decided through major decision-making bodies of universities, such as the Infectious Emergency Response Team, the University Innovation Committee, and the School Affairs Committee. In addition to collecting opinions from education consumers, a survey was conducted of students and through a recent meeting with the Student Council, we listened to opinions about inconvenience and improvement. The decided class operation plan has been announced on the school's website. Student representatives are informing us of problems that are raised by the independent student body. In addition, the decisions and important matters of the undergraduate/medical department are notified through texting and notification functions. Currently, 100 percent theoretical subjects are expected to be fully online classes for the first semester and will continue to be applied for the first semester unless there is a special reason. With the agreement of students, teachers, and instructors, face-to-face classes are possible. In addition, some subjects are currently conducting face-to-face classes. For these reasons, the official position of online classes for the first semester cannot be announced. Is there any solution about problems that may occur if we start the offline classes? The 100 percent theory courses will be conducted remotely until the end of the semester. However, the system has been set up to check the fever before the class for subjects that will be conducted through face-to-face lectures from April 27. In addition, students who show abnormal symptoms can be approved public absence. If symptoms of corona are detected after the face-to-face lecture, the student will immediately move to the self-isolation room according to the response manual and the medical personnel of the University Health and Health Care Center will take action and move to the local health center. The class will be stopped immediately following the decision of the Corona 19 response team. Then they will also take action against the students who were with them if any confirmed cases occur based on the results of the test results. In the case of foreign students, the international student support team checks the health status of international students on both campuses every day. In the case of student living centers, they check their fever once a day and if they have fever or abnormal symptoms, they are doing their best to find the measures to prevent the spread of infectious diseases, such as moving to a separate quarantine space. Because of errors about online server, there are too many tasks for attendance. Is there any measure that can improve the online lectures? For the system problems caused by the growing number of e-campus users, the company has improved system performance through the expansion of e-campus operating servers, presented various remote classes such as Google Classroom to help online lectures proceed smoothly. Starting from April 27, the government has activated the progress rate check function so that it can identify attendance. It is difficult to predict what problems will arise with the server problem, so we cannot meet the speed that student’s want, but we are taking immediate action after the server problem occurs. I hope many students understand this part. The task is interaction, which is an essential element of online classes, and I think it can be felt a lot because not only one student takes one subject. This will be resolved through consultations with professors. What is the school doing for students, such as quarantine and supplies, in preparation for the current Corona 19 outbreak? Currently, hand sanitizers have been placed at all entrances to the buildings and emergency masks and thermometers have been distributed to the administration and department offices. Also, solid soap in the bathrooms has been replaced with liquid soap and a fragrance filter has been attached to the elevator buttons. Also the lower floors of the buildings are restricted from operating elevators. In the case of outdoor facilities, rules for using with safety have been prepared and self-isolation rooms are being operated. For the school's quarantine system, the government has carried out quarantine of all buildings and student living quarters. In addition, quarantine three times a week for face-to-face classes and self- quarantine twice a week for academic intelligence officers. In the case of student restaurants, restaurant operators provide their own quarantine every day. Disinfection of public areas, such as doors, toilet handles, and handrails, is carried out at least twice a day. Our university is making a lot of efforts in quarantine and supply of goods that observe the government guidelines and has put a lot of efforts into keeping sufficient supplies available and frequent quarantine. With the extension of cyber lectures, there are demands for tuition refunds or reductions and there are meetings with student representatives. However, students are still not exactly aware of the situation. Currently, most of the university's tuition income is spent on direct education, including labor costs, students' education and scholarship-related budgets. The insufficient budget is filled by using non-tuition income. As mentioned in the last meeting with the student representatives, the cost of labor and facility investment used while conducting online classes is higher than the cost of maintaining facilities such as water and electricity that occur when using the classroom. In addition, students are asked to understand that we cannot immediately meet the demand for the return of tuition fees due to a decrease in enrollment quota, a reduction in entrance fees, related spending due to Corona 19, a decrease in the number of students studying abroad, and a decrease in income from various businesses. As president, I will make constant efforts with professors to listen to the students' inconveniences and complaints caused by online classes and to improve them. Now, all of the freshmen's events are canceled. As a result, freshmen find it hard to know about school news. Do you have any events or programs planned for new students? I feel sorry for freshmen about going online from the entrance ceremony and not being able to visit the school. Our university has not canceled events; it just has postponed them. If the campus is open and face-to-face classes are available, various academic system presentations will be held. Students-related events such as the Seoul Campus Festival, club events, and department MTs will also proceed more fruitful immediately after the end of the Corona pandemic or in the second semester in consultation with the Student Council. Can I ask you to say something to the members of the school who are confused by Corona 19? Currently, there are no confirmed cases from our university, but we will operate academic affairs with prevention for the safety of our school members as the top priority so that it does not happen in the future. We will continue to manage them even if the situation stabilizes. Please understand the situation in which it is not easy to decide starting the class with several problems while maintaining a safe distance. From the 7th week, it is expected that students' satisfaction will gradually increase as online classes are improved from being conducted in various forms. We will continue to improve online classes based on various online support projects and opinions from students and we will use this as an opportunity to innovate online lectures and teaching methods to improve the quality of education.

However, it did not include the opinions of the Cheonan campus students. Due to a mistake, the survey was not properly delivered to them. We have posted an apology letter on our Kakao Channel and Everytime platform and have decided to rewrite the article including the Cheonan campus students’ opinions. Let’s take a look at the survey results and opinions from the Cheonan campus students of SMU. Survey Results* Question 1: Do you know that the English magazine of Sangmyung Univ. has changed its publication method to online news? Question 1-(1): If so, what route did you know it through? Question 2: Do you think the Internet magazine format is better than paper magazines? Question 2-(1): If so, why do you think the Internet article format is better than the paper magazine format? Question 2-(2): If not, why do you prefer the paper magazine format? Curiously enough, 7% (included in the etc. category) of the students who answered this question said they liked the feeling/smell/atmosphere of paper. This category was not written in the answers we provided in the survey. Question 3: Is there anything you feel uncomfortable about while reading the English magazine after it changed its format to an Internet newspaper? Question 4: Please comment from your (a reader's) point of view about how to provide improvement of access to the Internet English magazine. The opinions students suggested can be sorted into ‘1 - The need for more advertising and promotions’ ‘2 - Content suggestions for the magazine,’ and ‘3 - Holding English related activities & events’.

More Ads and Promotions Many students said that they found out that the SM Herald exists through the survey, and asked for more active promotions. (1) Most students told us to use SNS accounts more frequently. The SM Herald already has some official SNS accounts. However, we see that we have not used them enough to promote the magazine. We will use SNS more and make it active so everyone can access us easily. Here are our SM Herald SNS Account ID’s. Add us if you are interested. -Instagram ID: smherald9 -Kakao (Plus) Friend ID: thesmherald -Everytime: Search for the ‘English Newspaper’ account in the ‘Group’ part of the ‘Bulletin Board’ menu. (2) Students suggested cooperation with the Student Council and school websites.

However, we will send messages by Kakao Talk and text messages with the SM Herald website link. 2. Content Suggestions Some students asked for (1) Articles with topics that are interesting/helpful/about school, (2) Reader-participating events like quizzes and word puzzles, and to (3) Add more pictures/videos, and make improvements to the web-viewer to make it easier to read. We will do our best to write more high quality, student-related articles, and we will discuss these topics at the idea and review meetings before and after the publishing processes. 3.

We will open an information and event booth soon, and every year around autumn (mostly November) we are holding an Essay Contest with prize money, too!

제 5 호 Congratulatory Address From President of Sangmyung Univ., Baek Ehung Gi, to 2020 Freshmen at the Entrance Ceremony

Kicker: SM NEWS Congratulatory Address From President of Sangmyung University, Baek Ehung Gi, to 2020 Freshmen at the Entrance Ceremony By Min-gyong Lee, Editor lee.mkpeach@gmail.com ▲President of Sangmyung University, Baek Ehung Gi Dear new students of Sangmyung University, I truly welcome the freshmen who have joined the family of Sangmyung. Unfortunately, I cannot send my congratulations directly to you, but instead, it is replaced by an online speech. Sangmyung University was established in 1937, based on the philosophy of national education conceived by Dr. Bae Sangmyung. With the educational ideology of truth, justice, and love in its 76 years of continuous development, Sangmyung University has strived to fulfill the university mission of talent cultivation and scientific research. Last year, our university was selected as a“SW-centered university project '' that was publicly offered by the government with the goal of developing AI-Intergrative human resources, which means that our environment for realizing our vision can be further secured. Today we greet you as the new family of Sangmyung. Together we will move forward to create the “New 100 Years of Sangmyung University”. Proud new students, I would like to hear what your ambitions and plans are to become a college student from each and every one of you, but today I would like to share some recommendations for you as president. First, have the courage to push your limits. The first thing I want to say to you who have overcome the wall of acceptance to this college is not to decide your limits yourself. There are endless possibilities before you. Entering college is not the end of study but the beginning. From now on, each and every challenge you will confront will be a measure to recognize your new abilities. Second, do not be afraid of the future. Maybe your real competitor is not a person, but artificial intelligence and a robot soon. But the future technology you create needs to be able to move in a direction that can be human-friendly, rather than technology that excludes humans. To do this, you need to make a future society in which you actively participate, rather than feel vague fears about the approaching future. Third, you are not alone. We need to develop the ability to listen to other people's opinions together and collect each other's opinions, not alone. Empathize with and talk more to the alumni you'll meet for developing yourselves, for the country, and for the future. New students of Sangmyung University, I hope that college life will be a happy time. Everyone will do their best to help us be proud of our graduates as they progress into society. We look forward to meeting you on campus and we will strongly support your future success. From President of Sangmyung University, Baek Ehung Gi Sources: https://www.smu.ac.kr/ko/intro/speechList.do?mode=view&articleNo=706775&article.offset=0&articleLimit=10

제 4 호 The Grand Prize of 39th English Essay Contest, "The Future of Humanity"

Kicker: The Grand Prize of 39th English Essay Contest The Future of Humanity by Jin-woo Chung, Biotechnology student The human race has walked the world for millions of years. We have survived, congoured, fought, and have finally become the dominant species on the Earth. We have weapons powerful enough to destroy the Earth and can travel to outer space. We can communicate with each other in an instant from thousands of kilometers away and have machines fast enough to travel around the world in a short amount of time. But what lies after this? Will humanity thrive on like it has for millions of years or will it perish after using up all the resources on the Earth and fall to war, famine, and natural disasters? In this essay, I plant to write about both opinions and come to a conclusion. First, I will address the opinion that humanity will prosper as it always has. After all, this is humanity we are talking about. Every time we have faced a problem, we had a break through and have overcome that problem and moved forward. In primary times, wild animals were a threat so we created weapons and built houses to keep them away. Because overpopulation became a problem, we invented better farming methods and cognized more lands. When diseases threatened lives, we created medicine and vaccines to cure them. Currently, humanity is being threatened by environmental harm, weapons of mass destruction, and overpopulation. However, many believe that nature will be possible to control with human technology and the weapons of mass destruction will not be used and will only act as a stopper to war. Overpopulation can be solved by inventing better ways of growing foods. On the other hand, others are not so optimistic about humanity’s future. The amount of harm humanity is causing to the environment is not something science can control and is already affecting many countries. The ice on the Arctic and Atlantic is melting and raising sea levels, resulting in some islands sinking and becoming in hospitable. Many animals and plants are becoming extinct due to environmental destruction and too much hunting. We are slowly running out of natural resources and will eventually not be able to develop anymore. The threat of weapons, such as nuclear weapons, is very close and could end the world as we know it. In the end, I believe that while there is no reason to despair and think that there is no hope for humanity, it is important to deal with these problems before it becomes too late.
