We Are Sources of HBNU!: Meeting With Three Representatives of OrganizationsBy Yoon Ji-yeon Editor-in-Chief, Senior of Electrical EngineeringWe get information about the school in various ways. Some people listen to broadcastings that can be heard at certain times. Some people read newspapers that are provided throughout the school. Some people check the SNS messages that are posted constantly. Students can gain knowledge and information about the school from those mediums, and they can use that information to apply for new programs, and get benefits.Have you, who are living in the middle of this abundance of information, ever thought about who does such a thing, and why do they do it? This article is about the three organizations that are trying to bring useful news to students.uHBNU PressThe HBNU press started in 1971. It is a direct institution of the president, and they publish a newspaper nine times a year. The newspaper has six categories: University, Society, Scholarship, Liberal Arts, Public, and Culture. Among them, the liberal art category has special corners that general students can participate in. Non-reporter students also can publish their writings and photos. Its office is located in building S1 (Library).Interviewee: Lim Hyun-ji, Management and Accounting, Editor-in-Chief of HBNU PressQ. Why did you join HBNU Press?Before entering university, I saw a TV drama named Hello, My Twenties!. There was a character named Song Ji-won, who was working as a reporter for a school press. When I saw the character, I wanted to join the school press after entering university. Also, I thought it was cool to agonize about social problems and write articles about them. So after entering the university, I applied for HBNU Press and joined as a cub reporter.Q. When is the most worthwhile moment, working in the HBNU Press?I work not only as a reporter, but also as the chief editor, so I have two different moments. As a reporter, I feel worthwhile when friends read the articles that I wrote, and comment on them.Also, as the chief editor, on the day before the publication date, I come to the office alone and prepare for publication, and fill out the paperwork. After I have done all my work, I turn off the office light. That is the most worthwhile moment as chief editor. In that brief moment, I think I did a great job on this issue, too.Q. What works are processed in the HBNU Press?We publish newspapers nine times a year, every month except for February, July, and August. Our process for publishing newspapers includes item conferences, collecting news, writing articles, and feedback processes.Reporters are classified into two tasks. The first is the editor that is composing illustrations for newspapers, and in-design editing. The second is the reporters that go out to cover the news and write the articles.Q. What is the biggest advantage of the HBNU Press?I think periodic writing is the biggest advantage. We constantly practice the composition and arrangement of sentences by writing articles. This helps improve writing skills and vocabulary. Also, the cub reporters are automatically changed into reporters that can have the benefit of a scholarship.uHanbat National University Broadcasting Station (HNUBS)The HNUBS was launched in 1963. It conducts regular broadcastings on campus for 90 minutes a day, focusing on reporting, culture, and literal arts contents, three times a day. HNUBS holds various school festivals, and produces videos once a week. Its office is located in building S2.Interviewee: Yoo Seung-jin, Architectural Engineering, Main Producer of HNUBSQ. I want to know about the work process of HNUBSThe biggest events that we hold are the broadcasting festival and the singing festival. The singing festival is usually held in the first semester, and the broadcasting festival is held once a semester. Especially in the first-semester, the broadcasting festival focuses on freshmen.Also, we conduct regular broadcastings for 90 minutes a day. The big topic of broadcasting is set according to the day of the week. We collect various stories about each topic and write the scripts ourselves. Plus, we produce short videos every week. We carry out every process for making a video, like writing scripts, acting, and image editing. You can watch our videos on our Facebook account.We have largely divided members into three groups, depending on their work. The planning group writes scripts for broadcasting, the announcer group is in charge of broadcasting, and the technical members are in charge of engineering for broadcasting. For example, in the short videos that I mentioned before, the planning group writes a script for the video, the technical group films the announcers who are acting, and then they edit the videos.Q. What is the biggest advantage of HNUBS?Unlike other school institutions and clubs, we freely carry out new events by ourselves. We can show our creative ideas and inspiration. I think the biggest advantage is getting a sense of accomplishment and pride by watching results that are made by my ideas.I belong to the technical group, so I usually do not come out directly in front of people. However, when people watch the video at a broadcasting festival, they not only focus on the actors, but also on the producers who are behind the camera. This is when I feel the greatest sense of accomplishment and pride.I think these feelings are not common, because only the people who experience this kind of work can understand them.Q. What is the most important thing for recruiting new members, and what are the promotion methods for regular members?The most important thing is the possibility of harmony. Can this person get along well with us? This is the most important question in the process of recruiting, because a lack of technique can be overcome, but basic mindsets - like time commitments and differences in working methods - are things that are very difficult to change.We usually promote everyone who wants promotion, up to a certain number of people. If that certain number is less than the number of applicants, we proceed with the interviews on our own.uLog-in the HanbatLog-in the Hanbat is an organization for promoting the school with distinctive ideas and various contents. Unlike the two institutions mentioned before, this organization belongs to the Foreign Cooperation and Public Relations Team. This has various categories, such as card news, blogs, comics, Youtube, global information, etc. Blogs and comics are uploaded three times a month. Card news is uploaded once a week, and Youtube is uploaded twice a month.Interviewee: Kim Tae-yeon, Public Policy, Representative student of Log-in the HanbatQ. Why did you join Log-in the Hanbat?As a student of HBNU, I was attracted to introducing the school directly, and I wanted to create a more unique and distinctive content. Also, I wanted to learn the basic skills of editing and shooting videos by working as part of a Youtube team. So, I applied to the Log-in the Hanbat Youtube team.Q. When was the most worthwhile moment, working in Log-in the Hanbat?When I worked with a Youtube team last year, I felt rewarded when the video that I filmed and edited had a high view count and good responses. I think most of the members also felt the same way as me. As my work is posted on the official HBNU account, I feel more responsible.Q. What is the biggest advantage of working with Log-in the Hanbat?I can get more information about our university, like scholarships, benefits for students, facilities, and activities; things that I did not know before. Also, the school granted scholarships and other benefits to members of Log-in the Hanbat.Just promoting school is also a valuable experience, and meaningful. Plus, that support from school also motivated me to work harder, and made me proud of my activities.Q. What is the most important thing for recruiting new members?The most important thing is the applicants interest in our school, and the ability to talk about school in a sensible way. Technical ability on Premier Pro or Photoshop, etc. would be a plus factor for recruiting, but it does not matter if you do not have it. Technical skills can be learned while working, so you do not have to feel pressured.Q. Lastly, what do you want to say to students who are reading this article?All of our activities have only one goal, which is students convenience. I hope our various contents have helped your campus life, and I hope so in the future, too.These students are working in various institutions with various works. However, their goals are the same: They hope their results will help many students campus life. They want to be the students source of joy and convenience. They take pride in their work, and continue their activities to help students. All the contents that we easily consume are the results of the sweat of numerous students. Also, the thing that rewards our efforts is the students attention.Why dont you think about the efforts and time of the students who try hard to make better results, rather than easily seeing and passing on the efforts? The more you look at it with interest, the richer the information you can find.

Is Your Life Boring?Why Dont You Study Abroad?By Lee Seo-jinReporter, Senior of Material Science and EngineeringThe HBNUs 2021 Global Short-Term Training course was held this winter. Since 2020, this program had been conducted online because of COVID-19, but this time, it was conducted both online and overseas. The overseas dispatch training agencies were scheduled to be at Wolverhampton University in the UK, the University of Nevada in the US, and the United Nation (UN) intergovernmental organization in Switzerland, but due to the spread of Omicron, the UN canceled their face to face programs. Therefore, the other two institutions conducted the training. The selected HBNUs students received scholarships.This article is the personal report of a journalist who went to Wolverhampton University in the UK for a month, from 27 January to 19 February.Before going abroadThis program was run on a first-come, first-served basis. The documents that needed to be submitted included a certificate of enrollment and proof of language performance. In addition, vaccination was a prerequisite due to COVID-19. After the application and selections were made, pre-education was held for the students. Through this pre-education, students could prepare to use English and understand the culture of the country. A native English professor and a Korean professor of English Language and Literature gave lectures on how to write emails, how to do presentations, and on the culture of other countries.In the UK, With Covid was being implemented in January 2022. At that time, many people did not put masks on their face, and even if they had COVID-19, they did not self-isolate. Entering the UK from other countries was not hard. There were no specific self-isolation areas. There was no problem, as long as overseas entrants passed the day2 kit that was ordered to their residence in the UK.Regular classes during the trainingIn this program, twenty-six Korean students and Forty French students participated in language training at Wolverhampton University City Campus. As the number of students was large, we took a level test and classes were divided, according to the students English level. The Wolverhampton Universitys program was divided into classes where the students took professors lectures and field trips, so students could travel together to many places in the UK. In the classes, we learned English from 10:00am-13:00pm, and in the afternoon, we could choose between Professional Communication classes and TOEIC classes. Under the guidance of several professors, we discussed and presented information about French, Korean, and British cultures. Once every two weeks, French and Korean students worked together to give mini presentations.The most impressive class was about English pronunciation. Great Britain is a country where people of various nationalities gather, so I could hear English with various pronunciations. Especially when I talked with French students in class, it was difficult to communicate with them because of their French pronunciation style of English. Previously, I did not know the importance of pronunciation when I was learning English in Korea. However, through this experience, I learned that English pronunciation has an important role in the globalized world, so it made me more interested in taking the English pronunciation symbol class. A British professor said that when children learn words in England, they naturally learn pronunciation symbols together. For example, with the word Apple, the [] symbol is used, and read as pple. In Try, the pronunciation symbol [a] is used, and read as trei.On Wednesday and Friday afternoons, we went on field trips to places including Chester, Birmingham and Cambridge. On these field trips, there was an advantage that could only be enjoyed in this program. Before the trip, some professors prepared us with information about each location in the class, to help us prepare. In addition, there was no transportation fee because we traveled together in the universitys bus.Every evening, there was a program called Social Night. There were simple sports, quiz times, and movie times. This was a perfect time to enjoy British pub culture.I could go to the pub and make foreign friends of various nationalities. Also, I could drink various alcoholic beverages, and dance with my friends.Life during the trainingThe accommodation provided by Wolverhampton University in the UK was a dormitory. Wolverhampton University dormitories are home to students of various races and nationalities. They have several flats. There is a shared kitchen and dining room in each flat. Also, there are four to five personal rooms and private toilets. In the UK, having a meal in a restaurant is really expensive. It was much more economical to go grocery shopping and make food with flat-mates and share our food. (In addition, rumors that British food is terrible were true...)In accommodation, there were many students from various nations, so we could experience various types of cultural life. The accommodation had various convenient facilities such as a laundry room, sports facilities, and communication rooms. There were two very impressive things I experienced while living in the dormitory: The first one was the experience of sharing food with Korean and French students. My French friends and I prepared each countrys dish and we ate together. We prepared some characteristic foods to give a strong impression for fun. I can not forget my friends smelly goat cheese. Its smell was so strong that my nose could smell nothing. I prepared Buldak Bokkeummyeon (Hot Chicken Flavor Ramen) that was really spicy for them. My friend ate it and spewed fire out of his mouth. It was a really fun experience for us. The second most memorable experience was in the laundry room. I had to use an app to use the laundry machines. There were already many broken washing machines, and it was my first time using them. Unfortunately, I had a problem with the washing machine not working, even after I had put the money in. It was the beginning of the month, so I did not have any friends to ask for help. At that time, an unknown foreign student helped me. I can not forget how grateful I was for the help I received when I was in trouble. During that one month, I was helped by many strangers. Therefore, I wanted to be helpful to other people.Since the training period was about a month, on the weekends, I could travel anywhere I wanted to go in England. I have visited everywhere, including London, Brighton, Bath, etc. and the place that I recommended the most is Brighton. Brighton has the Seven Sisters; a combination of magnificent white cliffs, and a sea that is full of waves. There is a spectacular view that cannot be seen easily anywhere on Earth. It is on the southern coast of England, and it is extremely windy, so I recommend you to look up a lot of information for a safe trip. London is such a famous city that everyone knows, so you can go wherever you like. Still, I would recommend the Sky Garden and the National Gallery. Also, both places are free to enter! If you are a Portermore, I would also recommend going to the Harry Potter Studio, and if you love football, it will be a great experience to do a stadium tour and watch a football game.+Tips about trains in UK1.Compare prices by installing various types of train apps.2.If you are buying a rail-card, to get a discount, collect your friends who want to buy the same one and pay as soon as possible.3.From London, take the train early! If your train is going out of town from London at peak times like 7p.m. on Saturday, you should get rid of the idea of sitting down. Even if you reserved your seat. London is that kind of cityThe best thing that I experienced in this one month was that I could feel freedom in my heart. Leaving behind my worries in Korea, it was a truly valuable experience for me to be able to move as I wanted, and I felt that it was a very precious moment in my life. Even in the UK without a mask! Also, I was even more lucky because I met so many nice, kind people. Therefore, I really recommend this to HBNUs students who are tired of their life as it is. In addition, I gained a lot of confidence in listening and speaking English. This one month gave me lifes vitality and made me look forward to my future life. Therefore, I would like to recommend it to everyone who reads this article. Do not hesitate to challenge!
