Ceremony Appointing Sangmyung University Seoul Campus Honorary Ambassadors in 2021
by Su-Yeon Park, Cub reporter
The 18th Seoul Campus Student Ambassadors, who play a key role in promoting Sangmyung University, received a certificate of appointment and began their one-year activities.
Would you introduce ambassadors for students who don't know about you?
We are the honorary ambassador for the 18th Seoul campus of Sangmyung University. We are composed of 20 people from different majors. If it has been recognized as a protocol for university official events and university promotional model activities, we have been focusing more on 'content production activities for university promotion' since last year. Since last year, face-to-face activities have become difficult due to the influence of Covid-19. Instead ofbeing able to do face-to-face activities, we produce various contents that promote the university through the university's official SNS.
What are the characteristics of Sangmyung University's honorary ambassadors?
Our promotional activities focus not only on people outside the university but also on members of the university. Some contents focus on what is shown to the outside world, such as "Introduction to Departments" and "Sangmyung People," but there are more familiar contents to students, such as "Annual Campaign: Reading," "Sangmyung on the Block" and "Sangmyung Story."
We think that "promotion" can make outsiders remember Sangmyung's name and shed light on the identity and competitiveness of the university by illuminating the university as it is.
What are the new activities in 2021?
We have started a new content called "Sangmyung on the Block" by extending the original "Sangmyung People" to a wider range. While "Sangmyung People" interviewed someone with a certain story, "Sangmyung on the Block" is about interviewing ordinary people. The interviewees could be our students, cafe owners, security guards, and local residents who come to Sangmyung University to study.
What activities are you planning for each Department?
A. Campus Tour & Protocol Team
Currently, it is difficult to go on a campus tour offline because Covid-19 is not stable. Therefore, we are preparing to film an online campus tour so that many students can tour the school without visiting the school in person. In addition, we are planning a real-time campus tour by using Zoom or live streaming through our official YouTube channel, and we would appreciate it if many students would participate.
B. Video team
In addition to introducing the Departments, we will make information videos about the school needed for those who take the entrance exam, and information for students (how to register for classes, how to participate in extracurricular programs and its benefits and advantages) to help many students.
C. Reporter Team
We are preparing content that introduces various programs in school to students while conducting the “Sangmyung People” and reading campaigns. We would like to interview students who use the system such as double major and minor and share their experiences to help other students use the program well in school.
D. SNS Team
We are planning "Sangmyung on the Block". This content tells the story of precious members of Sangmyung University who work hard nearby like Moon Hyun-ho, the head of the University Job Center. We are preparing a "Sangmyung Story" that conveys small issues that occur inside and outside the school, and a "Sangmyung's View" that explores social issues in conjunction with the Departments of Sangmyung University. Lastly, we are also producing an Instagram story filter that can capture the emotions of Sangmyung University's deer, the school's mascot.
What are the plans or goals of the honorary ambassador team?
Our goal is to make sure that members of Sangmyung University keep the name of Sangmyung in their hearts, and those who are not yet members can remember it in their heads. We will provide various and informative content to build your school spirit and improve the university's awareness.
Could you tell our readers anything you want Sangmyung University students to know?
We think there are still many students who don't know that Sangmyung University has an official SNS account. The ambassadors are conducting online activities by posting various content on official Instagram, blog, and YouTube in four teams. We may not be good enough because it hasn't been long since we started promoting online, but our ambassadors are all doing their best, so please pay attention and look forward to our next moves.
Students can quickly access all of these contents through the official SNS account of Sangmyung University's Seoul campus. Ambassadors are also making efforts to promote our university online as a way of producing content. The active participation of students will help a lot to come up with more informative programs.
