Hanyang Cyber University (President Lee Gi-jeong) announced on June 18 that its Social Welfare Department will hold the "2026 First Semester Learning Evaluation" on June 20 at 5 PM in the university's banquet hall, with 150 students expected to attend.
This evaluation aims to go beyond merely assessing academic performance; it focuses on restoring the "human connection" and "community values" that can be overlooked in an online-centered learning environment. Department Head Koo Hye-young and Professor Kim Jin-sook will participate to acknowledge the hard work of students who have dedicated themselves to their studies over the semester.
The event will include concentrated explanations of learning guidance and exam questions by faculty members from each grade level. Following this, a dinner for all students, team-building activities to enhance camaraderie, and a raffle will be part of the diverse program.
Jeong Ae-kyung, the president of the Social Welfare Department's student council, stated, "Due to the nature of online education, there are times when students feel lonely or limited while studying alone in front of a monitor. Just meeting and talking with peers can provide significant comfort and motivation. I hope this evaluation serves not just as a one-time event but as an opportunity to share learning strategies and build a strong support network. We will continue to create spaces for communication that enhance our classmates' sense of belonging and satisfaction."
Koo Hye-young emphasized the educational value of offline meetings and the goals of social welfare education in highlighting the purpose of the event. She remarked, "Social welfare is not just about memorizing texts; it is a practical discipline that proves care and sharing in life. By adding offline communication and meetings to the knowledge gained from online lectures, I hope students can develop practical skills to empathize and connect with others. We will continue to strengthen community education to cultivate welfare professionals who possess both intellect and character."
Meanwhile, the Social Welfare Department at Hanyang Cyber University has been actively promoting a vibrant community culture throughout the year, following an offline communication meeting held in March. Events such as executive workshops, year-end learning evaluations, school festivals, and the Blue Lions sports competition have been organized to dispel the misconception that "cyber universities are about individual play." Additionally, the department supports various practical clubs, including the "Passion and Challenge" volunteer club, the "Hansa-in" club for people with and without disabilities, and the "Future Welfare Forum" to broaden the practical horizons of aspiring social workers.
Hanyang Cyber University is currently recruiting new and transfer undergraduate and graduate students for the second semester of the 2026 academic year. Applications for graduate master's and doctoral programs are open until June 19, while undergraduate new and transfer students can apply until July 16. Detailed information about admissions can be found on the Hanyang Cyber University Admissions Support Center website and through the main contact number.
