Towards becoming one of KUBS! … “The 2022 13th KUBS Teen Mentoring Day” held in success

The 13th KUBS(Dean=Johngseok Bae) Teen Mentoring Day(hereinafter ‘Mentoring Day’) was held successfully on July 23^rd(Sat).

The event was directed by the Student Ambassador KUBE and current KUBS student mentors, while 93 students were selected prior to the event among about 500 high school student applicants in first and second grades. The Mentoring Day, which was held offline for the first time in three years due to the easing of social distancing guidelines, was held in the order of Introducing KUBS, Special lectures on Business, Campus Tours, Business Excercise, and Mentoring from KUBS students.

 Mentor-mentee participants met for the first time at SUPEX Hall on the 4th floor of LG-POSCO Building at 10 a.m. on the same day, and KUBE student ambassadors first introduced "KUBS Campus Life and Major Tracks." In particular, through guidance on specifics of 7 majors (△Finance △Accounting △ LSOM △ Marketing △ International Business △ Management △ MIS) and three tracks (△ Business analytics △ Entrepreneurship and Revolution △ Social values and ESG management), students had a time to go through the basics of Business major, and the advantages that only KUBS has. The introduction was followed by Professor Jang Jin-wook, KUBS professor, who gave a lecture on "Special Lecture on Business Management." Many of the students who took the special lecture said, "Thanks to the easy-to-understand explanation of the Business major and the negotiation process, I was able to learn things that I didn't know."

After lunch, Campus Tour of Korea University followed. There were opportunites for Mentee students to make memories by providing group photo missions at the KUBS building, Hosang Inscription, and Central Plaza for mentee students to take photos with the campus in the background. After an hour-long tour, each group conducted a "Business Excercise." The practice consisted of a program in which mentees experience the Business Negotiation process based on the contents of the special lecture with their Student Mentors. Students carried out the process of negotiating transactions, such as analyzing and discussing data by taking on the role of used car Buyers and Sellers.

After the practice, Mentor Story Sharing and Q&A continued through Mentoring from KUBS students. Various vivid stories of KUBS student mentors were exchanged as Mentee students were curious about how to get into KUBS, such as studying methods, grade management, and school activities, and about college life. After that, the Mentoring Day Event was completed with a survey and Rolling Paper. In the follow-up survey, the participating students expressed satisfaction about the Mentoring Day providing many useful information, saying, "The event was very trustworthy because the students gave me details that were unknown anywhere," and "I was very motivated to see my friends with the same dream and mentors who were already walking on that path."

Meanwhile, Teen Mentoring Day is an annual event hosted by KUBS to improve high school students' career plans and studies and is held every January and July. In addition, a "Regular Campus Tour and Meeting Day for High School Students" is also planned to be held in mid-October this year, where high school students can also participate.
