Spring 2018 MBA, A Fresh New Start
On February 10th and 11th, KUBS had a two-day event of an entrance ceremony and orientation for new students commencing Korea MBA (KMBA) and Financial MBA (FMBA).
Prior to the orientation event, we had an entrance ceremony for both KMBA and FMBA at SUPEX Hall, LG-POSCO Building. 189 KMBA and 31 FMBA new students participated in the event as well as 70 continuing students.
The ceremony was opened with a welcoming speech from Dean Soo Young Kwon, followed by Associate Dean Kyung Sam Park’s brief introduction to KUBS. Students were then introduced to information on course structure, department policy and had a Q&A session.
In the afternoon KMBA commencing students headed to Oak Valley Resort in Gangwon-do to attend a two-day orientation trip. The event started with information on majors and KMBA alumni association. KMBA students also had an ‘Ice-Breaking’ time for getting to know each other and socializing.
After dinner, KMBA students had a cheerleading practice session with Korea University Cheerleaders, with warm greetings from KMBA student council as well. On the second day, students were introduced to KMBA student council, clubs, and societies.
FMBA also had an orientation trip at Oak Valley Resort, Gangwon-do. During the trip, FMBA commencing students had sessions of △self-introduction, △Ice-breaking and cheerleading song practice, followed by △a formal dinner.
It is particularly a significant year for FMBA because of its extended duration of the study; it will be a two-year program from Spring 2018, as requested by part-time students who pursue both their professional and academic development. KUBS expect the revised FMBA program will meet the needs of a wide range of students.
