CUFS Chinese Language alumni strengthen network at homecoming event

Alumni of the Chinese Language Department at Cyber Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (CUFS) gathered for their homecoming day on May 16, reinforcing their bonds and expanding their professional network. The event, organized by the CUFS Chinese Language Department Alumni Association, aimed to foster a supportive community for graduates.

The association, officially launched in early 2023, has been actively organizing events like overseas cultural tours, sports days, and year-end gatherings to maintain strong connections among its members. This homecoming event continued that tradition, bringing together alumni for a day of exchange and networking. The occasion was graced by the presence of faculty members, including Director Won Jong-min of the Global Education Center and Head Professor of the Chinese Language Department, along with Department Head Lee Sun-hee and Professor Jang Lin-ja.

It was the funniest and most enjoyable day of the year. I am grateful to everyone who prepared the event so meticulously for such a meaningful time.

Initially planned as an outdoor sports event, the homecoming was moved indoors due to unseasonably early heat. The day began with a traditional tea ceremony demonstration by alumna Noh Mi-ra, followed by a flower presentation ceremony to commemorate Teachers' Day, creating a warm atmosphere. Professor Won Jong-min delivered a special lecture on 'Solo Travel in China,' and alumnus Lee Kang-won shared his experiences as a consul in Qingdao, offering valuable insights and inspiration to attendees.

Discussions also focused on enhancing support for current students. Plans were made to implement mentoring programs, share career and job information, explore scholarship opportunities, and increase interaction between alumni and current students. Lee Kang-won, head of the alumni association, pledged that the association would serve as a practical support system, ensuring that students can maintain strong relationships within the Chinese Language Department even after graduation. The association plans to continue organizing various activities to further solidify its network.
