Myongji University hosted its '2026 Semester 1 ESG Volunteer Festival' on May 19-20, aiming to foster a culture of service and environmental action. The event, held at the Inmun Campus, was designed to practice the university's social responsibility based on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) values and vitalize community engagement.

The festival included interactive booths operated by various volunteer groups and clubs. Students participated in activities like "Participatory Matching Program" to plan volunteer work and "Fabric Cup Holder Decorating" to encourage eco-friendly practices. These hands-on experiences allowed students to directly engage with ESG principles and understand the importance of social contribution.
