Korea Cyber University Student Joins Development Fund Donation Drive

Baek Nak-pyeong, a student at Korea Cyber University's Department of Practical Foreign Languages, has joined the university's growing culture of giving by donating to its development fund. His participation in the "KCU Dream 1:1:1" campaign, which encourages monthly donations, reflects a commitment to supporting the institution that has facilitated his continued learning.

“

I wanted to express my gratitude to the members who made my learning and growth possible at the school.

Baek's educational journey is particularly noteworthy. After a distinguished career of over 20 years as an English instructor, he retired and subsequently enrolled at Korea Cyber University. He graduated from the Department of Korean Language and Multicultural Studies, obtaining a Level 2 Korean language instructor qualification. Currently, he volunteers with the "Barun Korean Mentor Corps," teaching Korean to foreign learners preparing for the Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK).

Even a small donation, when gathered consistently, becomes a great strength, so I participated.

Motivated by the "KCU Dream 1:1:1" campaign, Baek expressed a desire to give back to the university community. "I wanted to express my gratitude to the members who made my learning and growth possible at the school," he stated. He also noted the campaign's sustainable model, where even small, consistent contributions accumulate into significant support, prompting his involvement.

“

I hope this donation will be provided as various forms of scholarships to many students.

Baek specifically hopes his donation will be channeled into scholarships for students who might otherwise struggle to continue their studies due to financial constraints. He believes that beyond the monetary value, the act of receiving a scholarship certificate instills a sense of pride and belonging, providing students with the courage to persevere in their academic pursuits. His own experience of finding new opportunities through further education after retirement, now holding expertise in both English and Korean, serves as an inspiration for continuous learning and self-creation.

More important than the amount is that students feel pride and a sense of belonging through the scholarship certificate and gain the courage to continue their studies.
